Why convert PDF to Word?
To convert PDF files to Word, drop them on the counter above. PDF is a fixed document; editing its text or sharing a page as a picture is not easy. In Word you can edit, copy and reformat the text.
It works best on PDFs made on a computer (saved from Word, reports, official documents).
Most files convert in seconds: no queue, no email address, and the DOCX result saves straight to your computer or phone.

About the formats
Portable Document Format
PDF makes a document look exactly the same on every device. It fixes fonts, images and page layout in place and is the shared language of official letters, invoices and applications.
DOCX
Microsoft Word (Office Open XML)
DOCX is the document format Microsoft Word has used since 2007. It holds headings, tables, images and formatting, and Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages open it too.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting PDF to Word free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark and no queue.
Do scanned PDFs work?
Scanned PDFs are photos of pages with no selectable text, and this tool does not perform OCR. PDFs created on a computer work fine.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works on iPhone, iPad and Android, with no app to install.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no size limit set by us. Files of hundreds of MB convert too; very large files take longer and are handled more comfortably on a computer than on a phone.
