How to use PDF to Word
- Choose or drop your PDF.
- Pick “Preserve formatting” or “Plain text”.
- Select Convert to Word and download the .docx file.
What to expect
PDFs made from Word or other office software usually convert very closely: headings, paragraphs, tables and images come back in the right place. Complex layouts — magazines, forms, multi-column designs — may need some tidying in Word afterwards.
A scanned PDF is a picture of a page with no real text. The converter recognises the text first and gives you the words as editable paragraphs — the original page layout cannot be rebuilt from a picture, so you get the text rather than a copy of the design. Check names and numbers, because recognition is very good but not perfect.
Where your file goes
Conversion needs software that runs on our server. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, converted in a temporary folder and deleted when the request ends. Files up to 50 MB are accepted.
