How to convert PDF to Word for free (and keep your files private)
Convert a PDF to an editable Word document, or Word to PDF, for free in your browser, without uploading your files anywhere.
Need to edit a contract, CV or report that you only have as a PDF? Converting it to Word gives you an editable document in seconds.
How to do it
- Open our PDF to Word converter.
- Choose your PDF.
- Download the Word (.docx) file and open it in Word, Google Docs or WPS Office.
Your files stay on your device
Most online converters upload your file to their servers. Ours does the conversion inside your browser, so your document is never uploaded. That matters for contracts, payslips and anything confidential.
Tips for the best result
- The Word file keeps the PDF's layout: logos, tables, colours and signatures stay in place, and each line of text is editable where it sits.
- PDFs created from Word or other software convert best.
- Scanned PDFs are pictures of text: they look right in Word, but need OCR software before the words can be edited.
