A FEW SIMPLE STEPS

How to pdf to word

  1. Choose your PDF.
  2. Choose editable text or page pictures, depending on your document.
  3. Convert, download the DOCX and check it in Word or LibreOffice.

Editable mode extracts selectable text and page breaks. It does not reconstruct images, tables or complex columns. Picture mode keeps visible pages as images; their text is not editable.

Before you get started

Can I edit a scanned PDF in Word?

Scans need OCR to become editable text. OCR is not included. Picture mode can put a scan into Word as an image, or use editable mode with a PDF that already has a text layer.

Will the Word document look exactly like my PDF?

No. Editable mode prioritizes text with basic line and page breaks. Choose page pictures for appearance, but those pages are not editable text. Text extraction can miss content or change reading order; check the result.

How many pages can I convert?

Editable text supports up to 200 pages and 1 million extracted characters. Picture mode supports up to 50 pages and 80 MB of rendered page images. Device memory can impose lower limits.

Are my documents uploaded?

No. Selected file contents are processed in your browser. Normal page requests still reach the hosting provider. Use a trusted device and keep your originals.
