Converting PDF to Word
A PDF stores letters at fixed positions on a page, not paragraphs. The converter reads the text, joins lines into paragraphs, spots headings by their size and recognises bullet lists, then writes a Word document you can edit.
Complex layouts such as columns, forms and tables are turned into simple flowing text. Scanned PDFs contain pictures of text rather than text, so they come out empty unless they were processed with OCR first.
Tips for the best results
- Use the original PDF exported from Word or a browser, not a scan.
- Choose 300 dpi for JPG or PNG when you'll print the pages.
- Turn off page breaks for a Word file that flows as one document.
- For long image PDFs, combine pictures in the order you want before adding them.
- Save old .doc files as .docx before converting them to PDF.
Privacy
Most online PDF converters upload your documents to their servers. This converter uses pdf.js and pdf-lib inside your browser, so contracts, payslips and IDs never leave your device. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page has loaded.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a PDF to Word for free?
Drop the PDF above, keep Word (DOCX) selected and download the file. You can open it in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice and edit the text.
Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?
No. The text, headings and lists are kept so you can edit them, but the exact layout, fonts and pictures are not copied. For an exact copy, convert the pages to images instead.
How do I convert Word to PDF?
Add the .docx file and download the PDF. Choose A4 or US Letter for the page size.
Why is my converted file empty?
The PDF is probably a scan, so it contains images of text rather than text. Convert it to JPG instead, or use OCR software first.
Can I convert a password-protected PDF?
Yes, if you know the password. Enter it when asked and the file is converted.
Is there a file size or page limit?
Files up to 300 MB work. Very large documents need a lot of memory, so convert them on a computer rather than a phone.
