Turn a PDF back into an editable Word document

PDFs are a display format — they're intentionally hard to edit. This tool runs your PDF through LibreOffice on our server (the same open-source engine that powers a good chunk of the world's document conversion) and hands you back an editable .docx you can open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Pages, or LibreOffice Writer itself.

Unlike browser-only converters that ship a lightweight approximation, LibreOffice preserves paragraph flow, headings, tables, bullet lists, images, and most inline formatting. Complex two-column layouts, forms, and hand-scanned pages still convert but may need a manual pass — which is normal for every PDF-to-Word tool, no matter how expensive.

What we do with your file

• Uploaded to a temporary directory on our server.
• Converted by LibreOffice in headless mode (--convert-to docx).
• Both the input PDF and output DOCX are deleted after 1 hour by a scheduled cleanup job.
• No copies are kept; no scanning; no OCR pipeline.

Free-tier limits

• 3 conversions per day per IP (resets at UTC midnight).
• 20 MB max file size per upload.
• Longer runs (large or complex PDFs) may take 10-30 seconds — the progress indicator on-screen tells you when it's ready.

Pro users get unlimited daily conversions and priority queue placement.
