About This Tool
PDF to Word converts your PDF documents into editable Microsoft Word (DOCX) files. The tool preserves the original layout, formatting, images, and text flow.
Easily edit your PDF content in Word without retyping. Perfect for contracts, reports, and resumes.
All conversion happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly technology, ensuring your documents never leave your device.
Conversion works best on PDFs that were exported from a word processor, since they already contain real text. For scans or photographed pages, run OCR PDF first so there is text to convert. After opening the DOCX, check tables, headers, and footnotes, which are the elements most likely to need small adjustments. If you only need to change a few words, Edit PDF may be quicker than converting the whole file and exporting it again.
Documents people convert to Word are usually ones they plan to rework: contracts, CVs, research drafts, internal reports. Running the conversion locally means the content is never copied to a conversion server. TokPDF does the work with WebAssembly in your browser tab, so you can convert a confidential file on a work laptop without sending it outside your company network, and there is no upload time to wait through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is formatting preserved?
Yes, the tool aims to preserve layout, fonts, and images as closely as possible.
Can I convert scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs will be converted as images in Word unless you use OCR first.
Is it compatible with Word?
Yes, the output is a standard .docx file compatible with Microsoft Word and Google Docs.
How do I convert a PDF to an editable Word document?
Load your PDF into the PDF to Word tool and start the conversion. When it finishes, download the DOCX file and open it in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice to edit the text, then save or export it again as needed.
Can I convert PDF to Word on a Mac?
Yes. The tool runs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or Edge on macOS, so there is nothing to install. The DOCX file it produces opens in Microsoft Word for Mac, Pages, Google Docs, and LibreOffice, so you can edit it in whichever app you already use.
Why does my converted document look different from the PDF?
PDFs position every element precisely, while Word flows text across pages. Complex layouts with columns, text boxes, or unusual fonts can shift slightly. Missing fonts on your computer are replaced with similar ones, which can change line breaks.
Can I convert a password-protected PDF to Word?
If the PDF requires a password to open, remove the protection with Unlock PDF first, using the password you already have. Then convert the unlocked copy to Word as usual. TokPDF cannot bypass or recover passwords you do not know.
