How it works

Upload a PDF and get a .docx you can edit in Word, with paragraphs, headings, tables, columns and images rebuilt so the layout holds. Scanned PDFs are read with OCR so their text becomes editable too. Conversion runs on Adobe PDF Services, the engine behind Acrobat. Your file is uploaded for the conversion, removed from Adobe straight after, and deleted from our storage within an hour.

Your file is uploaded and converted by Adobe PDF Services, the engine behind Acrobat, which deletes it straight after. Our copy is deleted automatically within an hour. Nothing is kept.

Convert PDF to Word online. Get an editable .docx with paragraphs, headings, tables, columns and images rebuilt to match the original layout — including scanned PDFs, which are read with OCR.

Converted with the engine behind Acrobat

Conversion runs on Adobe PDF Services — the same technology as Adobe Acrobat — so fonts, tables, images and layout come through as faithfully as current technology allows.

Editable, not a picture of the page

Text comes out as real paragraphs you can type into, tables as real Word tables, and columns and headings are rebuilt so the layout holds while you edit. Scanned PDFs are read with OCR so their text becomes editable too.

When to use PDF to Word

  • Updating a contract, CV or report when you only have the PDF.
  • Reusing text and tables from a PDF without retyping them.
  • Turning a scanned letter into an editable document.

Tips

  • Simple, text-based PDFs convert almost perfectly. Very complex layouts — magazines, heavily designed brochures — may need small touch-ups.
  • Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first.

Frequently asked questions

Will the layout break?

The layout is rebuilt to match the original as closely as possible. Most business documents come out ready to edit; highly designed layouts may need minor adjustments.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Yes. Scanned pages are read with OCR, so the text becomes editable.

Is my file kept?

No. It is converted by Adobe PDF Services, which deletes it straight after, and our copy is deleted automatically within an hour.
