PDF to Word Converter Online

Convert a PDF to an editable Word file that keeps page size, text style, images, and header graphics. Scanned pages use in-browser OCR. Nothing is uploaded.

Keep layout is the default: text, colors, images, and header graphics stay in the Word file. Image-only pages use OCR. Text only drops the layout for easier editing.

Limitations

  • Keep layout places editable text, mapped fonts, colors, bold and italic, images, and header graphics. Exact font files are not embedded. Rotated text and complex columns can still differ.
  • Text only exports paragraphs and tables without positions, colors, or images, for easier restyling.
  • Image-only pages use in-browser English OCR and keep the page image. OCR can misread text. Merged cells and nested tables are not reconstructed.
  • Maximum 50 pages and 25 MB per file. Password-protected PDFs are not supported.

Guides, tips & FAQ

PDF to Word for editing and drafts

When you need to edit a letterhead, draft, or report, Keep layout builds a Word file that follows the PDF: page size, font size, color, bold and italic, logos, and header graphics. Common PDF fonts are mapped to standard Word fonts rather than embedded. Body text in one column becomes paragraphs you can reflow; headers and footers stay in place. Choose Text only when you want plain paragraphs and tables without the design. Pages that are only a scan are read with in-browser OCR and keep the page image — check the wording. The PDF stays in your browser. For sharing a finished document, convert back with Word to PDF after you edit.

What this converter preserves

Note: Keep layout copies editable text with font, size, color, bold, and italic, and places logos where they were. Header bars and lines are drawn as a picture behind the text. Original font files are not embedded — common PDF fonts are mapped to Arial, Times New Roman, Calibri, and similar Word fonts.

How to convert PDF to Word online
  1. Upload your PDF: Drop a PDF into the dashed area or choose one from your device (up to 25MB, 50 pages).
  2. Choose a mode: Keep layout (recommended) rebuilds the page. Text only exports paragraphs and tables without positions, which is easier to restyle.
  3. Convert in your browser: pdf.js reads the text layer, images, and vector graphics. The .docx is packed locally — the PDF is not uploaded.
  4. Download the Word file: Review the result, then download. Use Try another for a different PDF.
  5. Optional — share as PDF again: After editing, convert back with our Word to PDF tool.
Layout, tables & images (honest limits)

Keep layout aims to look like the PDF and stay editable. These limits remain:

  • Fonts: Families are mapped to standard Word fonts (Arial for Helvetica, Times New Roman, Calibri, Courier New, and a few others). The original font file is not embedded, so line breaks can shift by a word.
  • Text: A single column of body text becomes flowing paragraphs. Headers, footers, and other placed lines sit in positioned frames. Rotated text, form fields, and annotations are not rebuilt.
  • Graphics: Header bars, rules, and colored blocks are painted into a picture behind the text. They are visible, not separate Word shapes. Transparency, shadows, and pattern fills can be missed.
  • Images: Embedded logos, signatures, and photos are placed at their original position and size. Soft masks and very complex blends may look flatter.
  • Tables: A clear text grid becomes a Word table. Merged cells, nested tables, and pages without a shared column line stay as paragraphs.
  • Scanned pages: A page with no text layer is read with in-browser English OCR, and the page image stays so the design shows. OCR can misread letters, and it is weak on non-Latin scripts. The first scanned page downloads an English language file; the PDF itself is not uploaded.
  • Text only: This mode skips positions, colors, and images so the wording is easy to restyle. Scanned pages still include the page image and the OCR text.

Open the Word file and check a letterhead before you send it. Body copy is meant to be edited. Design-heavy or multi-column pages can still need a pass in Word.
