How to convert a PDF to Word (free)
Need to reuse the text from a PDF in Word? Converting a PDF to an editable .docx lets you open it in Microsoft Word, Pages or Google Docs and change the content directly — for free, with no signup.
Open the free PDF to Word tool →Step by step
- Open the free PDF to Word tool and drop in your PDF.
- Click ‘Convert to Word’.
- Download the .docx file and open it in Word, Pages or Google Docs to edit.
Tips
- Text-based PDFs convert cleanly; scanned PDFs keep their layout but the text may need OCR first (use Scan PDF).
- If you only want to tweak a few words without leaving PDF, use the in-browser PDF editor instead.
- Complex layouts (multi-column, heavy graphics) may shift slightly — this is normal for any PDF-to-Word conversion.
