PDF to Word converter
Turn a PDF into a Word document you can edit. The converter keeps headings, bold and italic text, font sizes, centered lines, bullet lists, tables and the pictures on each page, and sets the Word page to the same size as the PDF. Need the page to look exactly like the PDF instead, for a form or a flyer? Choose Exact look. You can convert only some pages, open password-protected PDFs and preview the text before opening Word. Everything runs in your browser, so contracts and personal files are never uploaded.
Free · No sign-up

How PDF to Word conversion works
A PDF stores text as letters placed at exact positions, not as paragraphs. The converter reads each line with its font size and style, joins lines back into paragraphs, finds headings by their larger size, spots bullet points and numbered lists, and turns text lined up in columns into tables. Pictures are copied at their place on the page.
Simple documents such as letters, reports, resumes and essays convert very well. Complex magazine layouts with text in several columns may need some tidying in Word.
Editable text or exact look?
- Editable text: for documents you want to rewrite, such as a resume, a contract draft or a report.
- Exact look: for forms, flyers, certificates and anything where the layout matters more than editing.
- Scanned PDFs have no text inside, only pictures. Exact look puts them into Word as pages you can print or annotate.
Editing a resume or contract from PDF
Received your old resume only as a PDF, or a contract you need to mark up? Convert with Editable text, keep font sizes on, and turn on Use the PDF's fonts if those fonts are installed on your computer. Check line breaks and tables, then save it again as a new PDF from Word when you are done.
Tips for the best result
- Convert only the pages you need; it is faster and easier to check.
- If Word shows a different font, turn off Use the PDF's fonts to use Calibri.
- Turn off page breaks if you want one continuous document.
- Open the file in Google Docs or LibreOffice if you don't have Microsoft Word.
Frequently asked questions
Is this PDF to Word converter free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no email, no watermark and no daily limit.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The PDF is read and converted in your browser, so private documents stay on your device.
Will the formatting be kept?
Headings, bold, italic, font sizes, alignment, lists, tables and pictures are kept. Complex multi-column layouts may need small fixes.
Can it convert scanned PDFs?
A scan has no real text, only a picture of text. Use Exact look to get the pages into Word. Turning scanned text into editable text needs OCR, which this tool does not do.

Which programs open the DOCX file?
Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, Apple Pages and WPS Office all open it.
