Convert PDF to Word

Turn your PDF into a fully editable Word document (.docx). Layout, images and tables are rebuilt as close to the original as possible.

Max size: 10 MB on Free, 200 MB on Premium.

How it works

Drop your PDF (max 10 MB on Free, 200 MB on Premium).
Click Convert to Word. The conversion rebuilds an editable .docx file, page by page.
Download your Word document. The source PDF and the generated file are deleted from our servers after one hour.

Which PDFs convert well?

Native PDFs — created from Word, a software export or a web page — contain a text layer. They are the best candidates: text and structure are faithfully restored in the Word file.

Scanned PDFs (photos or images of paper pages) hold no selectable text. Converting them requires optical character recognition (OCR), coming soon on Premium. Until then, conv2pdf flags it clearly rather than producing an empty document.

What is preserved

The conversion restores paragraphs and their styles, images and simple tables. Very complex layouts (multiple columns, nested boxes) may need a few touch-ups in Word. The result is a real .docx file, editable in Word, LibreOffice Writer or Google Docs — never a frozen image.

Privacy and security

The conversion runs on our servers in France (OVH Gravelines). No US third party is involved in the process — no CDN, no storage, no tracker. Your files are never indexed, analyzed or inspected. No result is cached: two conversions of the same PDF produce two independent files.

The source PDF and the generated Word document are deleted after one hour. If you create a share link, a copy of the file is kept for the period you chose (up to 7 days on Free and 30 days on Premium). You can delete the share at any time. conv2pdf is GDPR-compliant, and a DPA is available on request for professional use.

Frequently asked questions

Can my scanned PDF be converted?

Not yet. Text-recognition (OCR), required for scanned documents, is coming soon on Premium. For a native PDF (selectable text), conversion works right now.

Will the layout be identical?

It is rebuilt as close to the original as possible. On simple to moderately complex documents, the result is very faithful. On heavily designed layouts, a few adjustments may remain in Word.

Is the Word file really editable?

Yes. You get a standard .docx file: the text is editable, selectable and searchable — not an image pasted into a document.

Is there a page limit?

The conversion accepts PDFs up to 500 pages. Beyond that, split the document first with our split-PDF tool.
