About this converter

Use PDF to Word with confidence

Use PDF to Word when you need an editable DOCX version of a PDF. The result is most useful for text-based PDFs that contain selectable text, headings, tables, or images.

Why use this tool?

  • Recover editable text from a PDF when the original Word file is not available.
  • Make small updates in a DOCX editor instead of rebuilding the document from scratch.
  • Create a working draft from reports, forms, or proposals that need revision.

Supported formats

PDF is a final-layout format, while DOCX is editable. Because those formats solve different problems, complex PDFs can need cleanup after conversion, especially scanned pages, multi-column layouts, and documents with unusual fonts.

How it works

How to use PDF to Word

  1. Upload the PDF

    Choose a PDF up to 25MB. Text-based documents usually produce the cleanest DOCX output.

  2. Convert to DOCX

    Start the conversion and wait for PDFeed to create a downloadable Word document.

  3. Edit carefully

    Open the DOCX and review spacing, tables, images, and page breaks before using it as a final file.

Tips for better results

  • Use the original Word file when you have it.
  • Expect scanned PDFs to need OCR support.
  • Check tables and columns after conversion.

Common questions

PDF to Word FAQ

Are my files secure?

Yes. Files receive randomized names, are used only for conversion, and are automatically deleted after one hour.

Will the Word file keep my formatting?

The converter reconstructs text styles, images, tables, and page layout as closely as possible. Complex multi-column documents may still need small adjustments.

Can it convert scanned PDFs?

Text-based PDFs work locally. Scanned PDFs require OCR, which is available when the optional ConvertAPI provider is configured.

What is the maximum file size?

You can upload files up to 25MB each.
