About
What PDF to Word does
Turn a PDF into an editable Word document. Its headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, pictures and links are read out of the file and rebuilt as real Word content — text you can edit and reflow, not a picture of a page.
Everything happens on your own machine: the file is decoded, processed and re-encoded by your browser, and never leaves your device. There is no upload, no queue and no account.

Questions
Frequently asked
How do I convert a PDF to Word?
Drop the PDF here. It is converted as soon as it arrives, and a preview shows the Word document page by page. Press Download to save the .docx and open it in Word, Google Docs, Pages or LibreOffice.
Can I convert PDF to Word for free?
Yes, with no limits, no sign-up and no watermark.
Will I be able to edit the text?
Yes. Text comes back as real Word paragraphs you can type into, with headings as headings and tables as tables, not a picture of the page.
Will the layout survive?
Text, headings, lists, tables and pictures come across, and the reading order follows the page. What a PDF cannot hand over is intent: it stores positioned glyphs, not paragraphs, so a heavily designed page — several columns, text wrapped around shapes, a magazine layout — is rebuilt as faithfully as the file allows rather than exactly. A straightforward document converts very closely.
Does it work on a scanned PDF?
Yes. A page that is only a picture of text is recognised on your device, in English, and comes back as editable text. Recognition is never perfect, so check names and figures on scanned pages; a typed PDF converts exactly.
Can it convert a password-protected PDF?
Yes. It asks for the password and converts once you give it. If the author restricted copying, that is respected and the tool says so rather than working around it.
Is my document uploaded to a server?
No. The whole conversion runs in this page, which is unusual for this tool: every well-known PDF-to-Word converter uploads your file and processes it on their machines. Yours never leaves your device.
