PDF to Word Converter
Turn a PDF into a Word document that keeps the same pages, layout and content. The conversion happens inside your browser, so your file is never uploaded
- Choose a PDF, set the options if you like and tap Convert to Word. When it finishes, download the .docx file and open it in Word, Google Docs or WPS
- To convert only some pages, fill From page and To page. Leave them empty for the whole file
- You can also copy the text or download it as a plain .txt file
- Same layout, editable text: each page keeps its exact look. The page is placed as a picture with its text removed, and the text is added back on top in movable text boxes, so you can edit the words
- Exact copy as page pictures: each page is a picture. It looks the same as the PDF, but you cannot edit the text. It also works for scanned PDFs
- Clean editable text: rebuilds headings, paragraphs and tables as normal Word text. Good for editing a lot, but the page design is not kept
- No browser tool can turn a PDF into a fully editable Word file with an identical layout, because a PDF stores positions and not paragraphs or tables. Same layout mode gets closest by keeping the look and leaving the words editable
- In Same layout mode, tables, lines and images are part of the page picture. You can edit the text inside them but not move the lines. If you make text longer, it can overlap its neighbours
- The text uses a similar font (Arial, Times New Roman or Courier), so it may look a little different from the PDF's own font. Scanned PDFs are inserted as pictures because there is no text to read
- Large PDFs make larger Word files because every page is stored as a picture
- Your PDF is read and converted on your device. It is not uploaded, stored or shared. The page only loads the PDF reading and Word file code from a public library host the first time you convert
PDF to Word Converter FAQ
Basic Conversion
Our converter uses advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to: 1) Extract text from PDFs while preserving formatting, 2) Recognize tables and convert them to editable Word tables, 3) Maintain images and their positions, 4) Recreate headers, footers, and page layouts. For scanned documents, we first convert the image to searchable text.
We support conversion to: 1) DOCX (Microsoft Word 2007+), 2) DOC (legacy Word format), 3) RTF (Rich Text Format), 4) ODT (OpenDocument Text). DOCX is recommended for best formatting preservation and smallest file size.
Free version limits: 1) 50MB file size, 2) 100 pages per document. Premium accounts get: 1) 200MB file size, 2) 500 page documents. For larger files, we recommend splitting the PDF first or using our desktop application.
Formatting & Quality
Our tool maintains: 1) Font styles and sizes (90-95% accuracy), 2) Paragraph spacing and alignment, 3) Tables and columns, 4) Images and their positions. For complex layouts, enable "Precise Formatting" mode which uses advanced algorithms for better accuracy (may increase processing time).
Yes! Enable "OCR Mode" for scanned documents: 1) Select document language(s), 2) Choose between editable text or image+text layer, 3) Adjust recognition confidence level. For best results, use clear scans with minimum 300 DPI resolution and good contrast.
Some differences occur because: 1) Word and PDF use different layout engines, 2) Custom fonts may be substituted, 3) Complex vector graphics convert to raster images. Try our "Enhanced Conversion" mode or adjust the "Layout Fidelity" setting for better results.
Advanced Features
Yes, if you have the password: 1) Upload the PDF, 2) Enter the password when prompted, 3) Proceed with conversion. We cannot convert files with owner passwords that restrict editing. For security, all passwords are discarded after processing and never stored.
Use our page selection tool: 1) Click "Select Pages", 2) Choose individual pages or ranges (e.g., 1-5,8,10-12), 3) Preview your selection, 4) Convert only the selected pages. This works for both text-based and scanned PDFs.
Premium feature: 1) Upload multiple PDFs (up to 20 at once), 2) Apply uniform settings or customize per file, 3) Process all simultaneously, 4) Download as individual files or a single ZIP archive. Batch processing maintains each document's formatting separately.
Security & Troubleshooting
We guarantee: 1) 256-bit SSL encryption for all transfers, 2) Automatic file deletion after 2 hours, 3) No human access to your documents, 4) Option to process files locally in your browser (Chrome/Firefox). For maximum security, use our offline desktop version.
Common issues include: 1) Corrupted PDF structure, 2) Password protection without correct credentials, 3) Unsupported embedded content, 4) Extremely complex layouts. Try: repairing the PDF first, converting to images then OCR, or contacting support.
If text appears as images: 1) Enable OCR mode before converting, 2) Increase the OCR resolution setting, 3) For scanned docs, ensure "Text Recognition" is on. If text is editable but layout is locked: 1) Use "Flow Text" conversion mode, 2) Adjust layout retention settings.
