What this PDF to Word converter can do

    The output is a Microsoft Word file that opens in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice and other document editors.

    Standard conversion aims to keep paragraphs, tables, images and the original order of document elements.

  • OCR for scanned PDFs

    For scanned documents, OCR can recognize text and turn the scan into a file where text can be copied and edited.

  • Automatic file analysis

    After upload, the service checks the first pages and suggests the best mode: standard conversion or OCR.

  • Works in any browser

  • No installation

    No separate app or extension is required. Upload a PDF, choose a mode and download the finished DOCX.

Standard conversion or OCR

Standard mode for text-based PDFs

Best for documents where text can already be selected with a cursor. It is usually faster and better at preserving formatting, tables, images and page structure.

OCR for scans and photo documents

Best for PDFs created from scans or photos. OCR recognizes Russian and English text and creates a Word document that can be edited.

Formatting is preserved where possible

PDF and Word store documents differently, so a perfect match is not always possible. The converter still aims to preserve fonts, lists, tables, images and block positions so the result is easy to edit.

Secure document processing

Files are transferred over HTTPS and used only for the selected operation. After processing, they are automatically deleted from the server according to the file retention policy.
