Need to edit a PDF in Microsoft Word? You can convert it to an editable .docx for free, right in your browser, without emailing your document to a converter service.

Convert a text-based PDF to Word

1. Open the PDF to Word tool.
2. Upload your PDF — the text is extracted in your browser.
3. Download the generated .docx and open it in Word or Google Docs.
4. Fix any spacing or formatting, then save.

If your PDF is a scan, run OCR first

Scanned PDFs are just images of pages — there is no text to extract, so conversion comes out empty or garbled. Run OCR first to add a real text layer, then convert to Word.

What to expect

• Best results come from clean, text-based PDFs.
• Complex layouts, tables, and exact fonts may simplify — treat the output as an editable draft.
• Always review the .docx before you send it on.

Your file is processed in your browser for this conversion, so it is not uploaded to a converter API.
