Do I need Microsoft Word to open the result?

No. The .docx file opens just as well in Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, Apple Pages or WPS Office, on a computer or a phone.

My PDF is a photo or a scan. Will it work?

Yes. Pages that are only pictures are read by OCR, which turns the printed letters into real text you can edit. A sharp, straight image gives the cleanest result.

What about Arabic, Persian or Hebrew?

Right-to-left text keeps its reading order and alignment in the Word file instead of coming out reversed, and it works for scans as well as for digital PDFs.

No account, no watermark, no paid “pro” version. Files up to 50 MB and 300 pages, and they are erased from the server 60 minutes after upload.

PDF Word, online

Make any PDF editable again.

Drop a PDF and get back a .docx you can change freely in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice.

Text stays text, not pictures of text
Tables come back as real tables
Scans and phone photos read by OCR
Right-to-left scripts handled

Erased from the server 60 minutes after upload, or right away on request.

From a frozen page to a document you can work on

A PDF is made for reading and printing: you can't fix a typo, update a date or move a paragraph. pdftoword.net rebuilds the page as a normal Word document, with paragraphs, headings, columns, tables and images in the right place, so you can simply open it and type.

What people use it for

Updating an old document

The original Word file is lost and only the PDF is left: a contract, a CV, a price list. Convert it and edit what has changed.

Reusing tables and figures

Copy the tables of a report or an invoice into your own document without retyping every cell.

Typing out a paper form

A scanned letter or a photographed page becomes text you can correct, search and quote.
