PDF to Word Converter

Our PDF to Word converter uses Microsoft MarkItDown, an open-source AI tool from Microsoft. When you upload a PDF, it is sent to our secure Hugging Face API which uses MarkItDown to extract text, headings, tables, and lists from the PDF and convert them to Markdown format. Then python-docx converts the Markdown to an editable Word document (.docx), preserving document structure and formatting. The resulting DOCX file is ready to edit in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or any word processor. Powered by the same technology Microsoft uses internally.

Yes! Free users can convert 2 PDF files per day, which resets every 24 hours. SuperAdmin accounts get unlimited conversions. Unlike expensive PDF converters like Adobe Acrobat ($14.99/month) or Nitro PDF ($159/year), our tool provides genuine free access for everyday users. The conversion happens via our own Hugging Face Space API using Microsoft MarkItDown (open-source), which costs us nothing to run, so we can keep it free forever. For users who need more than 2 conversions per day, we may introduce a Pro plan in the future.

We support PDF files up to 10MB in size. The output is always a .docx file (Microsoft Word 2007 and later). DOCX files can be opened and edited in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, Apple Pages, and most modern word processors. If your PDF is larger than 10MB, try compressing it first using our PDF compression tool, or split it into smaller files. We currently do not support password-protected PDFs - please remove the password before uploading.

Our converter achieves 85-95% accuracy in preserving the original PDF layout. Text content, fonts, colors, bold/italic formatting, images, and tables are typically preserved very well. However, some complex PDF elements may require manual adjustment: (1) Advanced graphics and vector shapes may be simplified, (2) Multi-column layouts might need reformatting, (3) Headers and footers may need repositioning, (4) Some special fonts may be substituted. For best results, use PDFs with standard formatting. Scanned PDFs (image-based) will not convert well - these need OCR preprocessing first.

Your PDFs are processed securely on Hugging Face servers (not our servers). Here is what happens: (1) You upload PDF to our website, (2) We send it to our private Hugging Face Space API, (3) Hugging Face processes the conversion using Microsoft MarkItDown, (4) You download the DOCX file, (5) All files are automatically deleted after conversion. We do not store, view, or have any access to your files. Hugging Face also does not retain your files. The entire process is secure and ephemeral. However, do not upload highly sensitive documents (medical records, legal contracts, classified information) - use desktop software for those.

Yes! The DOCX files are fully editable. After downloading, you can: (1) Edit text, change fonts, and modify formatting in Microsoft Word, (2) Add or remove content, insert comments and track changes, (3) Save as different formats (PDF, RTF, TXT), (4) Share and collaborate with others using Google Docs, (5) Print or email the document. The DOCX format is the industry standard for editable documents, supported by virtually all word processing software across Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android.

PDF to Word conversion is incredibly useful for: (1) Editing PDF contracts, proposals, and reports - make changes without recreating from scratch, (2) Reusing PDF content - extract text and images for new documents, (3) Translating PDFs - edit converted Word doc with translation tools, (4) Extracting data from PDF reports - convert tables to Word/Excel for analysis, (5) Creating templates - convert PDF forms to editable Word templates, (6) Academic work - edit research papers and theses in Word, (7) Business documents - modify invoices, quotes, and presentations. This tool saves hours compared to retyping PDF content manually.
