PDF to Word online, free

Convert a text-based PDF into a DOCX document for editing in Word or another word processor. This is useful for revising reports and agreements, but text extraction only approximates complex page layouts and does not faithfully reconstruct embedded images.

Good for: revising text-heavy agreements, reusing report copy, drafting from archived documents.

Frequently asked questions

Will the Word document look exactly like my PDF?

No. The converter extracts text and lays it out in DOCX; columns, complex tables, fonts and images may need manual reconstruction.

Can it read a scanned PDF?

A scan is primarily an image, so run OCR PDF first to add a text layer before extracting it to Word.

Can I edit the result on a Mac or iPhone?

Yes. Download the DOCX through your browser and open it in a compatible document editor on your device.

What is the free file size limit?

Guests can upload files up to 25 MB each. A free account raises the limit to 50 MB per file, and Premium allows 500 MB per file with larger batches.

Are uploaded documents private?

Files are encrypted in transit and automatically deleted after a short time following processing.
