PDF to Word (DOCX) Converter
Need to edit a PDF in Word? Drop it in and get a .docx that looks like the original, with the same layout, lines, logos and photos, where every piece of text is editable. For heavy rewriting, switch to flowing text instead.
How “Same layout” works
Each PDF page becomes a Word page of the same size. Everything that isn't text (lines, boxes, tables' borders, logos, photos and signatures) is kept as a picture behind the text. The text itself is rebuilt as real Word text at its original position, with the closest matching font, size, weight and colour, and letter spacing tuned so lines end where they did in the PDF. Invisible or hidden text that some PDFs contain is left out.
Which mode should I use?
- Same layout: forms, applications, certificates, invoices and letters, anything where the look matters and you're changing a few details.
- Flowing text: reports and articles you want to rewrite or restyle; headings and paragraphs reflow normally.
- Page images: when you only need to annotate or insert the pages into another document.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Word file look exactly like my PDF?
With 'Same layout' (the default) it looks the same: lines, boxes, logos, photos and signatures stay exactly where they were, and every piece of text is placed at its original position, in a matching font, size and colour, and is editable. Forms, certificates, letters and invoices come out like the PDF. 'Flowing text' instead rebuilds headings and paragraphs as ordinary Word text, which is better when you plan to rewrite large parts.
Which apps can open the Word file?
Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, Google Docs, LibreOffice and WPS. The layout uses standard paragraph formatting (indents, spacing and tab stops), plus positioned text boxes only where columns sit side by side, so it holds up across apps.
Why can't I edit some text?
Text that's part of an image (a logo, a stamp) or that is rotated stays in the picture so the page still looks right. Scanned pages are different: see the next question.
Can it convert a scanned PDF to editable Word?
Yes. A scan has no real text, only a picture of it, so the tool spots scanned pages and reads them with OCR (text recognition). Pick the languages on the page: English, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam are supported, and you can choose several. With 'Same layout', the recognised words are rubbed out of the page picture and placed back as editable text at the same spot, in a matching size, colour and weight. Clean, straight scans work best. Check names and numbers afterwards, since OCR can misread blurred or handwritten text.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF is read by pdf.js and the Word file is built in your browser tab. For scanned pages, the OCR engine and language data are downloaded once (a few MB) and then run on your device too; the PDF itself never leaves it.
Can it convert password-protected PDFs?
Not directly. If you know the password, remove it first with the Unlock PDF tool, then convert the unlocked copy.
