Convert PDF to Word

Free, no account needed. The conversion happens in your browser, so your file is never uploaded.

How it works

  1. Choose your PDF (up to 100 pages).
  2. Wait while the text and layout are read. Scanned pages take longer because they are recognised page by page.
  3. Download the .docx and open it in Word or another word processor.

What it is good for

Reusing the text of a PDF you received, or fixing a document you no longer have the original file for.

Supported files and limits

Files: PDF files up to 100 pages. Scanned pages are read in English.

  • PDFs do not store paragraphs the way Word does, so complex layouts, columns and tables may need tidying after conversion.
  • Scanned pages depend on scan quality and are read as English text only.
  • Password-protected PDFs are not supported.

Your files and privacy

Your file is processed in your browser, on your own device. It is not uploaded to PDFScanner's servers. PDFScanner counts basic usage, such as which tool was opened, but never sees what is inside your document.

Questions and answers

Does it work on scanned PDFs?
