What it does
To convert a PDF to Word for free, drop it here: Word (.docx) is preselected. You get an editable document with the paragraphs, headings and tables from the PDF; images and exact layout are not reproduced. If the PDF is a scan, run OCR first. Conversion happens in your browser, so the document is never uploaded.
How to use it
- Drop the PDF — Word is preselected.
- Choose the pages.
- Convert and open the .docx in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice.
