How to Convert PDF to Word Online
A good PDF to Word conversion keeps everything — your text, tables and images — in a document you can actually edit. This free tool does exactly that, and adds an exact-layout mode for scanned or complex files so nothing is ever lost. Preview your first page, pick a mode, and download a clean .docx.

Why Convert PDF to Word Here
Keeps your images
Embedded pictures and logos are carried into the Word file — and if a tricky image slips through, exact-layout mode guarantees it.
Keeps tables and text
Real, selectable text and structured tables come through so you can edit them straight away.
Two modes, no surprises
Editable for normal PDFs, exact layout for scanned or heavily designed pages that must look identical.
Convert only the pages you need
Enter a page range like 1-3, 5 to turn just part of a long PDF into Word.
Opens anywhere
The .docx works in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages.
Free with no watermark
No account, no daily cap and no stamp added to your document.
Editable vs Exact Layout
Editable text + images rebuilds your PDF as a normal Word document: the text is selectable, tables stay structured, and images are placed inline. This is the right choice for most PDFs — reports, letters, contracts and articles — because you can edit everything afterwards.
Exact layoutplaces each page into Word as a high-resolution image, so the result looks pixel-for-pixel like the original. It's perfect for scanned documents, forms, or richly designed pages where keeping the exact look matters more than editing the text. Because it captures the whole page, nothing — no image, stamp or signature — is ever left out.
Not sure? Start with editable. If an image or a scanned page doesn't come through the way you expect, switch to exact layout and convert again. Need the reverse? Use Word to PDF.
