Free PDF tool
Convert a PDF to Word, Free and Private
Turn a PDF into a Word file that looks the same: text in the same place and font, tables as real tables, and pictures where they were. The text stays editable, and it all runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

What the PDF to Word tool does
Sometimes you only have the PDF of your own work, a handout or a set of notes, and you need to change it or reuse the words. Retyping is slow. This tool reads the text from the PDF and builds a Word document you can edit.
It reads every line of text with its position, font, size and colour, and rebuilds the page in Word. Paragraphs stay paragraphs, text in columns sits in frames side by side, and ruled tables become real Word tables you can type into. Logos, photos, charts and shading are kept as pictures in their places, behind the text. Each page of the PDF becomes one page in Word.
How to use it in four steps
- Open the PDF to Word tool and choose your PDF.
- Enter a page range if you only need some pages.
- Press Convert to Word.
- Download the .docx file and open it in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice, then check it through.
How students use it
- Reuse your own essay or CV when the original Word file is lost.
- Turn a lecture handout into a document you can annotate and shorten.
- Pull a report you wrote into a new template.
- Edit a form letter you created yourself.
Good to know
- Typed PDFs convert best. A scanned page has no text to edit, so it is kept as a picture of the page.
- Charts, diagrams and turned text come through as pictures, so you can move them but not edit the words inside them.
- If your computer does not have a font the PDF uses, Word swaps in a close match and some lines may shift slightly. The tool tells you which fonts these are. Check the result against the PDF before you rely on it.
- Only convert documents you own or have permission to edit, and do not change someone else's work or an official document such as a transcript or certificate.

PDF to Word — your questions
Is PDF to Word really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on files. It runs in your browser.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The file is read and the Word document is built inside your browser tab. We never receive your document.
Will the layout stay the same?
Yes, as closely as a Word file allows. Text keeps its place, font, size and colour, ruled tables become Word tables, and pictures stay where they were. If your computer does not have one of the PDF's fonts, Word uses a close match and some lines may move slightly.
Why can I not edit the words on some pages?
Those pages are probably scans, which are pictures of pages with no text layer. They are kept as pictures so the page still looks right. Save the original document as a PDF from Word or Google Docs instead, or retype the text.
