How to Convert PDF to Word for Free (Without Uploading Your File)
Convert a PDF to an editable Word file in your browser, what you can expect from the result, and what to do with scanned PDFs.
PDFs are great for sharing but hard to edit. If you need to change the text, the easiest way is to turn the PDF into a Word (.docx) file.
How to convert
- Open PDF to Word.
- Choose your PDF.
- Choose whether to keep the page breaks.
- Click Convert to Word and download the .docx file.
PDF to Word
Convert a PDF to Word in your browser. Your file is not uploaded.
What to expect
The tool reads the text in your PDF and rebuilds it as Word paragraphs. Large text becomes headings. It works best on letters, reports, notes and other text documents.
It does not carry over images, tables, columns or exact fonts. If your PDF is a form or a design with lots of layout, you will need to tidy up the result in Word.
Scanned PDFs
A scanned PDF is really a picture of text. There is no text to read, so the tool will tell you that. Run it through PDF OCR first, which reads the text from the images, and then convert.
Privacy
Many online converters upload your file to a server. This one runs in your browser, so contracts, ID documents and bank statements never leave your device.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a PDF to Word on my phone?
Yes. It works in any modern browser on Android and iPhone.
Why is my Word file missing the tables?
The converter keeps text only. Tables and images from the PDF are not carried over.
