How to use PDF to Word
- Select Choose PDF, or drop a PDF onto the drop area.
- Choose a mode: Editable text (best for editing) or Text + page images (adds a picture of each page after its text, for comparing layout).
- Optionally limit the page range and decide whether each PDF page starts on a new Word page.
- Select Convert to Word, review the text preview, then download the DOCX.
What to expect
The output is a new Word document. The text is reflowed into Word paragraphs, so exact positions, columns, tables and decorative graphics are simplified. Your original PDF is not modified.
- Scanned PDFs (photos of pages) contain no text layer; they produce empty text. Use Text + page images to keep a visual copy.
- Complex layouts — multi-column pages, tables, forms and text boxes — are reflowed as ordinary paragraphs.
- Fonts are mapped to standard Word fonts; embedded custom fonts are not copied.
- Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked in software you are authorized to use before converting.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert PDF to Word?
To convert a PDF to Word, choose your PDF, pick “Editable text” (or “Text + page images” for a visual reference), then select Convert and download the .docx file. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so the PDF is never uploaded.
Is this PDF to Word converter really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no daily quota built into the tool. Because conversion runs on your own device, the practical limit is your browser's memory.
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF is read and converted by JavaScript running in your browser tab. The website loads its code from the server like any page, but your document's bytes, name and text are never sent anywhere.
Can I convert PDF to Word without losing formatting?
Not exactly. PDF stores positioned text, while Word stores flowing paragraphs. This tool keeps text, headings, bold/italic styling, paragraph breaks and page breaks, but simplifies columns, tables and precise positioning. Choose Text + page images if you also want a picture of each original page for reference.
Can I convert a scanned PDF to editable Word?
A scanned PDF is an image of text, so there is no text to extract. This tool will tell you when pages have no text layer. Converting scans to editable text needs OCR (optical character recognition), which is not part of this converter.
Does it work on iPhone, Android and Mac?
Yes. It works in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop and mobile. Very large PDFs may be slow on phones with limited memory.
Can I open the DOCX in Google Docs?
Yes. The output is a standard Office Open XML (.docx) file, which opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, Apple Pages and WPS Office.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Every tool works without sign-up or login.
Is it safe for confidential documents?
Files are processed locally in your browser and never uploaded. Close the tab or select Clear to release them from memory.
