Sometimes you need to edit a PDF, but PDFs aren't really meant for editing. That's where converting to Word comes in handy. This converter turns your PDF into an editable Word document so you can make changes, update text, or reuse the content however you need.
PDFs are great for sharing because they look the same everywhere. But when you need to edit something - maybe update your resume, tweak a contract, or pull text from a report - Word gives you that flexibility. You can change text, move things around, update images, and work with others on the same document.
You upload your PDF, pick whether you want DOCX or DOC format, and the conversion happens automatically. The conversion happens in the cloud, so it works the same whether you're on a newer computer or an older device.
Students updating papers, professionals fixing resumes, businesses tweaking contracts, marketers repurposing content - anyone who needs to edit a PDF can use this tool.
DOCX is the newer format (since Word 2007) and it's usually better - smaller files, more reliable, works well with modern software. We recommend DOCX unless you specifically need to work with someone using an older version of Word. In that case, DOC might be the better choice.
DOC is the older Word format from Word 97-2003. It's still useful if you need compatibility with older systems or users who haven't upgraded. Choose DOC only if you specifically need to work with older versions of Microsoft Word.
Our converter includes OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology that can extract text from scanned documents, image-based PDFs, and screenshots. The OCR recognizes many languages and tries to maintain formatting and layout. This works well for converting scanned paper documents to editable Word files.
People use this converter for various tasks. Maybe you have a PDF resume that needs updating, or a contract that needs changes before signing. Sometimes you just need to extract text from a PDF report for a presentation. You can convert PDF forms to Word templates, update marketing materials, or extract data from invoices. If you have scanned documents, the OCR feature can handle those too.
If you're working with PDFs, you might also find our other tools useful. Try compressing PDFs to reduce file size, merging multiple PDFs into one document, or splitting a large PDF into smaller files. For converting the other way, check out our Word to PDF converter.
We take privacy seriously. Files are encrypted when you upload them, and they get deleted automatically after processing. We don't access your documents, share them, or sell anything to third parties. For more details, see our Privacy Policy.
The converter works with many languages, so whether your PDF is in English, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, or another language, it should handle it. It preserves special characters and formatting.
For good results, use clear PDFs (not blurry scans if possible). If your PDF has selectable text, that usually converts better. Keep files under 50MB for faster processing. DOCX works well for most modern setups, but if you need compatibility with older Word versions, DOC is available too. Scanned documents? The OCR feature can read text from images.
