Convert PDF to DOCX

Get a DOCX file from your PDF that you can open and rewrite in any modern word processor.

Turn a PDF Into an Editable DOCX Document

DOCX is the format every current word processor speaks. Microsoft Word has used it by default since 2007, and LibreOffice Writer, Google Docs, Pages and the mobile Office apps all open and save it. So when you need to work on the contents of a PDF — rewrite a paragraph, correct a figure, restyle a heading — DOCX is the format to convert into, because you can carry on editing wherever you happen to be working.

Upload the PDF and the converter rebuilds it as a document rather than a picture: text becomes real, selectable text in paragraphs, tables come across as tables whose cells you can type in, lists stay lists and images are placed where they were on the page. Because DOCX is an open XML format, the file stays compact and opens quickly even when the original PDF was long. Nothing is installed and no account is required.

Use this page when your goal is editing. If you only want to read the text or copy it into another program, PDF to TXT is faster and produces a much smaller file. If the PDF is a scan, remember that the pages contain images of letters, so the layout will be reproduced but not every word will be editable. Conversions run over an encrypted connection and your file is removed from the server automatically once it has been processed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between DOC and DOCX?

DOC is the old binary Word format; DOCX is the XML-based format Word has used since 2007. DOCX files are smaller, less prone to corruption and are supported by Word, LibreOffice, Google Docs, Pages and mobile office apps.

How do I convert a PDF into DOCX?

Upload the PDF on this page and wait a few seconds — the converted DOCX is offered for download as soon as processing finishes. No registration, no payment, nothing to install.

Can I edit the resulting file?

Yes. The DOCX opens in any modern word processor with editable text, working tables and images in place, so you can rewrite and restyle it freely.

Is the layout of the original PDF preserved?

Yes, as closely as the source allows. Paragraphs, headings, lists, tables, columns and images are reconstructed in the DOCX, so the document resembles the PDF you uploaded.

Should I use this or the PDF to Word tool?

Both produce an editable document. Use this page when you specifically need a DOCX file to keep editing; use PDF to Word when you simply want your PDF back as a Word document.

Is there a size limit?

A single PDF can be up to 100 MB, and there is no limit on the number of conversions per day. The service is free and adds no watermark.
