PDF to Word turns a PDF into an editable .docx document in your browser. It rebuilds paragraphs, headings, bullet points and numbered items from where the text sits on each page, keeps the fonts, sizes, bold and italic, and brings the pictures across. It works best on text documents such as letters, contracts, reports and CVs. The PDF is never uploaded.
How to use it
- Drag and drop, or click to upload a PDF.
- Click Convert to Word. The .docx downloads straight away.
- Open it in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice and edit. Tables and complex layouts may need some tidying.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF is read with pdf.js and the Word file is written with the docx library, both inside this browser tab. Your file never leaves your device.
How close is the Word file to the PDF?
For text documents - letters, contracts, reports, CVs, essays - you get editable paragraphs with the original fonts, sizes, bold and italic, headings, bullet points, numbered items and pictures, one PDF page per Word page. A PDF has no paragraphs, only text placed at positions, so the structure is rebuilt from where the text sits. Complex layouts such as forms, tables and magazine pages come out as plain paragraphs that need tidying.
Are tables kept?
Not as Word tables yet. The text of each cell comes through in reading order, so nothing is lost, but the grid itself has to be rebuilt in Word (Insert, Table, Convert Text to Table helps).
Why is my Word file empty?
The PDF is probably a scan: pictures of pages with no text inside. Run it through OCR PDF first to add a text layer, then convert the result here.
What about two-column documents?
Two-column pages, like research papers, are read down the left column and then the right, so paragraphs come out in reading order as a single column of text.
Does it work with password-protected PDFs?
Not directly. Remove the password first with the Remove PDF Password tool (you need to know it), then convert the unlocked file.
Which fonts does the Word file use?
The ones the PDF used, where Word is likely to have them (Arial, Times New Roman, Calibri, Georgia...). Fonts embedded in the PDF under other names are mapped to the closest common font, so lines may wrap slightly differently.
