Convert PDF to editable Word

Turn any PDF into a genuinely editable Word document — not a picture of one. Most free converters either dump unformatted text or embed each page as an image you can't edit. This converter parses the document's real structure: headings stay headings, tables become actual Word tables with the right columns, lists stay lists, and reading order is preserved even across multi-column pages.

Scanned PDFs work too. If your file is a scan or photo-based PDF, built-in OCR reads the text automatically (including Hindi and other Devanagari scripts) before rebuilding it as an editable document. There is nothing to configure — drop the file, get a .docx.

How it works
  1. 1

    Drop your PDF below or click to choose it (up to 25 MB / 120 pages).

  2. 2

    The document is parsed — layout analysis plus OCR for scanned pages.

  3. 3

    Download your editable .docx. Files are deleted automatically within 24 hours.

Four Word modes are available in the full converter: Editable text (best for rewriting), TrueLayout (identical look with editable text — designed pages come back as themselves), Preserve layout (exact positioning — best for forms), and Exact look (a pixel-faithful copy where text is an image). The quick converter on this page uses the reflow mode, which produces the cleanest editable document for most files.

Everything runs in a private, isolated workspace: no account, no email, and every uploaded file and converted result is permanently deleted within 24 hours. Documents are never used for anything except your conversion.

Editable output re-typesets your document. Content, tables and reading order are preserved (measured 93.8% text retention across a 219-document test corpus), but dense graphic layouts won't be pixel-identical — that's what the Exact look mode is for.

PDF to Word — questions

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Yes. Scanned pages are OCR'd automatically before conversion, so the Word file contains real, editable text.

Will my tables survive?

Yes — tables are detected structurally and rebuilt as real Word tables, not screenshots. Complex merged-cell layouts may simplify slightly.

Is it really free?

Completely. No account, no watermark, no page limit beyond the 25 MB / 120-page fair-use cap.
