The Word file looks quite different from the PDF — why?

PDF and Word use different layout engines. Heavy graphic layouts can shift; for best results stick to text-based PDFs and double-check the headers, footers and TOC after conversion.

What slows the conversion down?

Page count, the number of images and the file size all matter. Documents under 10 pages usually convert in well under 30 seconds.

Can I upload password-protected PDFs?

Not yet — please remove the password first using Acrobat, Preview or a similar tool.

How do I fix sideways images after conversion?

On the result page you'll see rotate (90°/180°/270°) and flip (horizontal/vertical) buttons. Click one and we'll generate a fresh download link.

How well does scanned PDF → Word work?

Scans are images, so the resulting Word still embeds them as images. Run OCR first to add a searchable text layer, then convert to Word for an editable result.

Why did some fonts get substituted?

If your machine doesn't have the original PDF font, Word picks a similar substitute. You can swap the font manually or install the original font.

Can I batch-convert several PDFs at once?

One file per run today. Upload them one after another, or wait for the planned batch feature.

Will the hyperlinks still work?

Hyperlinks in text-based PDFs are usually preserved as live links; links inside scanned images can't be auto-detected.

Convert PDF to editable Word (.docx) online for free. Preserves text, images, tables and layout. No signup, no install. Files auto-deleted.

How your file is handled

Your PDF and the generated .docx are uploaded and downloaded over HTTPS. Both the source and the converted file live only inside this conversion task; they are wiped from our processing nodes within an hour, never backed up, never shared, never used for model training.

When this tool fits best

Negotiate a contract that arrived as a PDF
Convert the PDF to Word, switch on Track Changes, and mark up clauses without retyping the whole agreement before sending it back.
Reuse a paper for a new submission
Turn a published PDF article into Word so you can adjust references, trim sections, and resubmit to a different journal.
Refresh a CV or report you only have as PDF
Pull the PDF into Word, swap projects in and out, change fonts, and export a new version much faster than rebuilding from scratch.

Features

Faithful paragraphs and fonts
Headings, paragraph spacing and font styles are preserved closely so you rarely need to re-layout.
Real Word tables, not images
Detected tables become real Word tables with proper rows and columns rather than flat pictures.
Images placed at the original spot
Images stay anchored where they were in the PDF, with auto rotation detection for sideways scans.
Clickable links survive
Hyperlinks and TOC anchors in text-based PDFs remain clickable in the Word output.
Standard .docx output
Outputs a clean .docx that opens in Microsoft Word, WPS, Pages and Google Docs.
Pairs with OCR for scans
If your PDF is a scan, run OCR first so the Word output contains real, editable text instead of pictures.

How to use

1
Upload the PDF
Drag a file into the drop zone or click "Select file" — up to 500MB per file.
2
Parse the document
We analyze fonts, paragraphs, tables and image positions before we start writing the Word file.
3
Generate Word and preview stats
After the .docx is ready, you'll see paragraph, character, image and table counts so you can sanity-check the conversion.
4
Download and keep editing
Open the .docx in Word or WPS and continue from there.

Limits and things to watch out for

Highly designed layouts may shift— Multi-column magazine layouts, floating callouts, and decorative wrapping can shift in Word and need light cleanup.
Scanned PDFs stay images— If the PDF is a scan, the text is just pixels; convert it through OCR first so the Word output is editable.
Encrypted PDFs aren't supported yet— Remove the password in Acrobat or Preview before uploading.
500MB upload cap per file— Split very large PDFs first, then convert each part separately.

Scanned PDF? Run OCR before Word

If the PDF is scanned or photographed, the words are pixels. Add a searchable text layer with OCR first, then come back here for the Word conversion to get truly editable output.
