How to convert a PDF to Word, end to end.

Four clicks from a dropzone on this page to a .docx file in your Downloads folder. You never leave the tab.

  1. Drop your PDF on this page.

    Drag it from your desktop or click to browse. It uploads encrypted. We can't see it.

  2. Let us read the layout.

    We pull your text, tables, images, and fonts apart and rebuild them as a Word document. It takes seconds for a short PDF and under a minute for most long ones.

  3. Preview the result.

    We show you what the converter saw — fonts matched, tables kept, images in place. If a rare font had to substitute, you'll see it before download.

  4. Download. We forget.

    Your .docx lands in Downloads. Our copy is deleted within the hour. Open it in Word, Pages, or Google Docs and start editing.

What you can actually do on this page.

Five honest conversion moves you can finish in the browser you're already in. No Adobe, no signup, no half-features held behind a paywall.

  • Formatting survives.

    Fonts, bold, italics, headings, bullet lists — they come through to Word the way you left them in the PDF. You edit, not rebuild.

  • Tables stay tables.

    Rows and columns rebuild as real Word tables you can edit cell by cell — not a flat block of text you'd have to retype.

  • Images where they should be.

    Photos, charts, logos, and diagrams come across at their original position so your document still reads the way it did as a PDF.

  • OCR when the PDF is a scan.

    If your PDF is a scanned document, we run OCR first so the image becomes real editable text. You get a .docx you can actually type in.

  • Never a watermark.

    Free means free. No stamp on page 1, no diagonal "sample" on every page, no gotcha at download.

Convert scanned PDF to Word

Scans don't have real text until we OCR them. Upload your scanned PDF and the converter runs OCR first so your .docx comes back with selectable, editable text on every page.

Keep formatting when converting PDF to Word

You don't want to retype a report because the fonts drifted. The converter preserves fonts, bullet lists, headings, and table structure so your .docx opens close to the original layout.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to what people ask us most about editing a PDF online for free. Tap any question and the answer expands inline.

Will my formatting and fonts survive the conversion?
Usually yes. We match fonts, headings, bold, italics, and list formatting. Very rare fonts may substitute to the closest match — you'll see it in the preview before you download.
Does it work on a scanned PDF?
Yes. If your PDF is a scan, we run OCR first to turn the image into real text. The resulting .docx is editable like any Word document — you can type, delete, reformat.
Will the .docx have a watermark?
Never. Not on free, not on Pro, not ever.
Is it really free? What's the catch?
There isn't one. PDF to Word, as many conversions as you need, for as long as you need it. No signup, no watermark, no "upgrade to unlock download." Pro exists for people doing this for work every day; if that's not you, you never see it.
How big a PDF can I convert?
Up to 100 MB on the free plan, which covers almost every document. If you need bigger, Pro handles up to 500 MB.
What happens to my file after I'm done?
Deleted within one hour of upload. Encrypted in transit and at rest. Never read by a human, never shared, never used to train anything.
Does it work on an iPad, Chromebook, or phone?
Yes. Any browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge. Upload, convert, download. Same flow on every device.
Can I edit the .docx right away?
Yes. Open it in Microsoft Word, Pages, Google Docs, or LibreOffice and start typing. It behaves like any other Word document.
Do I need to sign up, create an account, or enter an email?
No, no, and no. The button says "Drop your PDF here" — that's the whole onboarding.
