Convert PDF to Word

A PDF is made to be read, not changed, which is why a document you need to edit arrives in the wrong format at the worst moment. This turns it back into a Word file you can open and type into.

How it works

Headings stay headings, bold stays bold, and the font and colour of the text come across with it. Tables and images are not rebuilt — the words inside them arrive as paragraphs, which is the honest limit of doing this without redrawing the page. If the PDF is a scan with no text layer, the words are recognised first, so what you get is text you can edit rather than a picture of a page.

Step by step

  1. Choose the PDF, or drop it on the page.
  2. Press Run and wait a few seconds — a scanned file takes a little longer.
  3. Download the .docx and open it in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice.

Questions people ask

Will the layout survive?

Headings, bold, italics, font and colour come across. Tables and images are not redrawn — the words inside a table arrive as paragraphs. If the layout has to be exact, convert and then fix the two or three places that moved.

Does it work on a scanned PDF?

Yes. A PDF with no text layer is recognised first, in Hindi or English, so you get text you can edit rather than a picture of a page.

Is there a file size limit?

Up to 100 MB. A large or scanned file takes longer because every page has to be read.
