About this tool: PDF to Word
PDFs are made to look the same everywhere, which makes them hard to edit. Converting a PDF to a Word document gives you text you can change — fix a typo, rewrite a paragraph, or reuse content in another document.
The tool reads the text and layout of the PDF and rebuilds it as paragraphs in a DOCX file. Scanned documents (pages that are only pictures) contain no text to read, so they cannot be converted this way.
How it works
- Add your PDF. Drag it in or choose it from your device.
- Convert. Press Convert to Word and the text is extracted and rebuilt.
- Download the DOCX file and open it in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice.
- Done editing? Convert it back to PDF with Word to PDF.
Why use PDF to Word
- Editable DOCX output that opens in Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice.
- Text order and paragraphs are reconstructed from the page layout.
- Files up to 50 MB; no account required.
Frequently asked questions
Will the Word file look exactly like my PDF?
Text and paragraphs are carried over, but complex layouts, tables and images may need a quick tidy-up after conversion.
Why did my scanned PDF fail?
A scanned PDF is a picture of text, not text itself, so there is nothing to extract. You need OCR software for those files.
Can I convert the Word file back to PDF?
Yes — use the Word to PDF tool when you have finished editing.
