How to convert a PDF to an editable Word document

Convert in three steps

1. 1Open PDF to Word and upload your PDF.
2. 2Wait a few seconds while each page is rebuilt as editable Word content: paragraphs, fonts, colours, tables and images.
3. 3Download the DOCX file and open it in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice.

What converts well

• Documents created on a computer: letters, CVs, reports, invoices and forms.
• Bold, italic, font sizes and colours, tables with borders, and images.
• Pages of different sizes and orientations.

Scanned PDFs

A scanned page is a picture of text, not real text, so it comes into Word as an image. To edit it, you need text recognition (OCR) first. If you only need to change a few words, try our PDF editor instead: you can white out text and type over it directly in the PDF.

Only need a small change?

You don't need Word to fix a typo, add a date or sign a form. Edit PDF lets you change text, add text, images and signatures directly, and it runs entirely in your browser.
