PDF to Word

Convert PDF to an editable Word DOCX file right in your browser. For text-based PDFs we preserve structure, tables and images, while scanned documents can be processed with OCR in Russian and English.

A PDF to Word converter for regular documents and scans

PDF Boss lets you convert PDF to Word online without installing software. If your file contains real text, use standard conversion for a fast DOCX result. If it is a scan or a photo document, enable OCR to recognize text and create an editable Word file.

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.
