Pro tips

  • Enable OCR only when the PDF is image-based.

Common mistakes

  • Uploading password-locked PDFs.
  • Skipping proofread on OCR output.

Privacy note

Your PDF is processed on our servers and removed after conversion. Only upload documents you are permitted to process through a third-party service.

When not to use this tool

Do not upload confidential or classified files unless your organisation allows third-party conversion. For highly sensitive legal or medical documents, use an offline conversion tool instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my file stored after conversion?

No. Your PDF is used only to produce the DOCX output, then permanently deleted from the server. It is not retained, indexed, or used for any other purpose.

Will formatting match exactly?

Simple layouts with standard paragraphs and headings convert well. Complex designs with multi-column layouts, tables, or embedded charts may need manual touch-up in Word after conversion.

What do I get after conversion?

A DOCX file you can open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice. The file is fully editable and ready to modify.
