Convert PDF to Word (DOCX)

Choose editable text extraction for PDFs with selectable text, OCR for scanned pages, or page images when preserving appearance matters most. Text conversion reconstructs the document and may not reproduce every layout detail.

Guide: PDF to Word

This tool rebuilds a PDF as a Word document in your browser. It has three methods: editable text for PDFs that already contain selectable text, OCR for scanned pages, and page images when keeping the appearance matters more than editing.

How to use it

Choose one PDF from your device. The page count and file size appear after it opens.
Choose Editable text for selectable text, Scanned PDF (OCR) for scanned pages, or Page images when appearance matters more than editability.
Select pages with thumbnails or enter a range such as 1-3, 5.
Review the conversion settings and limitations. OCR and reconstructed layout can contain errors.
Choose an output name, convert, then compare the downloaded DOCX with the PDF before using it.

When this tool helps

Edit the wording of a document when you no longer have the original Word file.
Turn a scanned page into text you can copy and correct, using OCR.
Reuse a simple table or list from a PDF in another document.

What it can do

Editable text with headings and bullets
OCR for scanned PDFs
Pick pages and keep page breaks

Tips for better results

Try Editable text first for PDFs that let you select text with the mouse; use OCR only for scans.
For OCR, choose the language that matches the document and proofread names and numbers.
Convert only the pages you need to keep processing fast.

Limits to know about

The Word layout is rebuilt, so complex columns, borderless tables, merged cells, charts and exact colors may not match the PDF.
OCR can make mistakes, especially with poor scans, small print or handwriting.
Some older fonts store text in a way that does not convert to readable text; OCR or page images may work better.
The first OCR run may download language data.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a PDF to Word?

Choose a PDF, pick Editable text, Scanned PDF (OCR) or Page images, select the pages, then convert and download the DOCX.

Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?

Not always. The document is rebuilt from the text and shapes the tool can read, so complex layouts can differ. Compare the result with your PDF.

Can I convert a scanned PDF?

Yes. Choose Scanned PDF (OCR) and select the language of the text. Accuracy depends on scan quality.

Which languages does OCR support?

The list includes English, Tamil, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu and many others. Pick the one that matches your document.

When should I choose Page images?

Choose it when the exact look of each page matters more than editing. The text in the Word file will not be editable.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. Conversion and OCR run in your browser. OCR may download language data the first time you use it.
