PDF to Word

Convert any PDF (including scanned ones) into an editable Word document. Pick "Preserve formatting" for layout + tables or "Plain text" for the fastest possible cleanup.

1. Upload your file

Native PDFs convert in 10–60 seconds. Scanned PDFs use OCR and can take up to 3 minutes per 10 pages.

How does the PDF to Word work?

Turn any PDF — including scanned documents — into an editable Word file. Drop your PDF and click Convert. For scanned PDFs (where pages are images, not text), the text is automatically recognised first so you still get an editable document, not just a picture. Most business documents convert in 5–15 seconds; large or scanned files may take a bit longer. Quality varies: clean text-heavy PDFs come through best. Documents with complex layouts, merged cells in tables, or unusual fonts may need a quick cleanup in Word after. Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first using the Unlock PDF tool. Files are processed and deleted right after you download — nothing is kept.

Close, not perfect. Word and PDF lay out text differently — fonts may swap to nearest available, line breaks may shift slightly. For most business PDFs the result is fully usable; visually critical documents may need a quick cleanup in Word.
