Files stay outside the public web root and use random storage names.

File content is checked before queueing and again by the processing engine.

Built for focus

One clear workflow from upload to a secure, expiring download.

How to use PDF to Word Beta

PDF to Word uses layout-aware conversion to reconstruct paragraphs, tables, images, and page structure in a DOCX file. Image-based pages can be OCR-processed first.

Input: one PDF, up to 50 MB. Output: one editable DOCX document.

  1. Upload the PDF: Check whether its text is selectable or the pages are scans.
  2. Choose OCR when needed: Leave automatic OCR enabled for image-based pages and select the document language.
  3. Convert and compare: Open the DOCX and compare paragraphs, tables, headers, images, and page breaks with the PDF.

Limits to review

  • PDF and Word store layout differently, so complex columns, tables, fonts, and page breaks may need correction.
  • OCR can recover text from scans but does not guarantee the original formatting or perfect recognition.

Frequently asked questions

Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?

Not necessarily. The converter reconstructs editable content, and complex layouts can require manual review.

Are scanned PDFs supported?

Automatic OCR can prepare image-based pages before conversion when the option is enabled.

Why did a table change after conversion?

A PDF records positioned page content rather than Word table structure, so rows, merged cells, or wrapping must be inferred.
