How do I convert a PDF to Word?
Click the upload box or drag your PDF onto it. The conversion starts automatically and usually takes less than a minute. Then click “Download” to get your Word document (.docx).
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Yes. Scanned pages are processed with optical character recognition (OCR), so the text in your Word document can be edited. The cleaner the scan, the better the result – sharp scans of about 300 dpi work best.
Is the layout preserved?
The converter keeps the original layout as closely as possible, including paragraphs, images and tables.
Is it safe to upload my PDF?
All transfers are SSL-encrypted, your file is only processed to create the Word document, nobody looks at it, and everything is deleted automatically within two hours. Details are in our privacy policy.
Is there a file size limit?
Large PDFs with hundreds of pages are supported – even files larger than 1 GB. The time needed mainly depends on your internet connection.
When is converting a PDF to Word useful?
Whenever you only have a document as PDF but need to change it: correcting a contract or report, updating a price list, editing your CV or reusing text and tables without retyping them.
Are there any limitations?
Very complex layouts – many columns, text boxes or unusual fonts – can need a little manual touch-up after the conversion. Check the result before you send it on, especially tables and page breaks.
How do I turn the Word document back into a PDF?
