PDF to Word

Convert PDF text into selectable, editable Word content while keeping its page positions.

Convert a PDF into a Word document, choosing between selectable editable text positioned in text boxes at the original layout, or an exact visual copy when appearance matters more than editability. Selectable text mode is the recommended default for turning a PDF report or contract into something you can actually edit in Word, since PDF has no native concept of Word paragraphs, styles, or tables. Scanned PDFs need OCR PDF Pro first, since they contain no extractable text.

Common questions

Does it preserve the PDF layout?

Selectable text keeps the original page size and positions text in editable Word text boxes. Complex graphics may still differ because PDF does not store Word paragraphs, tables, or styles.

Can I edit the text?

Yes. Selectable text is now the recommended default. Exact visual copy remains available when appearance matters more than editing.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Scanned pages contain images rather than selectable source text. Use OCR PDF Pro first, or choose Exact visual copy.

Does it upload my PDF?

No - text extraction and DOCX generation both run entirely in your browser.
