PDF to Word — a file tool hub

PDF to Word started as a single converter and grew into a set of free file tools: convert between PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and images, and merge, split, compress, edit, and protect PDFs. There is no sign-up and no watermark. Pick a tool above to get started.

Convert PDF to Word free

Wondering how to convert PDF to Word free? It takes three simple steps. First, open the PDF to Word tool and drop in your PDF file. Second, we convert it on the server in seconds, preserving your text, layout, and formatting as closely as possible. Third, download your editable Word document — that is it. There is no sign-up screen, no email verification, and no waiting in a queue. This is the fastest way to convert PDF to Word without jumping through hoops.

Convert Word to PDF just as easily

Need the other direction? Our Word to PDF tool lets you convert Word to PDF in the same simple way.

Convert HTML to PDF free — file, code, or a live URL

Need a webpage or a snippet of code turned into a document instead? Our HTML to PDF tool covers three starting points: upload an .html file, paste HTML or CSS code directly, or enter a live web address — and download a clean PDF rendered the same way a browser would show it, fonts, images, colors, and layout included.

Compress PDF to shrink file size for free

Have a PDF that is too big to email or upload? Our Compress PDF tool lets you reduce PDF file size in seconds — free, online, and with nothing to install.

Make scanned PDFs searchable with OCR

Have a stack of scanned paperwork you cannot search or copy from? Our OCR PDF tool reads the text in every scanned page and adds it back in as a hidden, selectable layer, so old contracts, invoices, and archived documents finally become searchable with Ctrl/Cmd+F.

Convert Excel to PDF and PDF to Excel free

Working with spreadsheets too? Our Excel to PDF tool turns .xls and .xlsx files into clean, shareable PDFs in seconds.

Need to go the other way? Our PDF to Excel tool extracts tables from a PDF into an editable .xlsx spreadsheet, so you can sort, filter, and recalculate the numbers instead of retyping them.

Convert PDF to PowerPoint and PowerPoint to PDF free

Working with slide decks? Our PDF to PowerPoint tool turns a PDF into an editable PowerPoint (.pptx) presentation, one slide per page, so you can reuse or update a deck without rebuilding it from scratch.

Need the other direction? Our PowerPoint to PDF tool converts .ppt and .pptx presentations into polished, shareable PDFs — one page per slide, with your fonts, images, and layouts preserved exactly as you designed them.

Convert PDF to image — PDF to JPG and PNG free

Need pictures instead of a PDF? Our PDF to Image tool renders every page of your PDF as its own JPG or PNG image in seconds — pick JPG for the smallest files or PNG for crisp, lossless text and line art.

Convert images to PDF and combine JPG to PDF free

Got pictures instead of documents? Our Image to PDF tool turns a JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC image into a clean, shareable PDF in seconds — and you can combine multiple images into one PDF, one image per page, in whatever order you like.

Scan documents to PDF with your phone camera free

Need to turn a physical page into a PDF right now, not a photo you already took? Our Scan to PDF tool opens your phone's camera directly — no app to install.

Convert images to Word — JPG and PNG to Word free

Need pictures inside an editable document instead of a PDF? Our Image to Word tool turns your JPG or PNG pictures into a Word (.docx) document in seconds — and you can combine multiple images into one Word document, one image per page, in whatever order you choose, with the same rotate button to straighten any sideways picture first.

Convert Word to image — Word to JPG and PNG free

Need pictures instead of a Word document? Our Word to Image tool renders every page of your .doc or .docx file as its own JPG or PNG image in seconds — pick JPG for the smallest files or PNG for crisp, lossless text.

Merge PDF files into one free

Have several PDFs that belong together? Our Merge PDF tool lets you combine PDF files into a single document, in the exact order you choose.

Split a PDF into separate files free

Need the opposite of merging? Our Split PDF tool breaks one PDF into several, three ways: extract every page into its own PDF, divide the file into fixed-size chunks of a set number of pages, or pull out custom page ranges like 1-3, 4-8, 9.

Extract a page or page range from a PDF free

Only need one page, or one stretch of pages, instead of splitting the whole file? Our Extract PDF Page tool pulls exactly that into a brand-new PDF.

Rotate PDF pages free

Scanned a page sideways or upside down? Our Rotate PDF tool shows every page as a thumbnail so you can see exactly which ones are wrong: click a page's own rotate button to turn just that page 90° clockwise, or use Rotate All to turn the whole document in one click when the entire scan came out sideways.

Crop PDF pages free

Wide margins or a scanned border you want gone? Our Crop PDF tool gives every page its own Crop button: drag the handles on that page's crop box to set the area to keep, and every other page stays untouched.

View PDF — an instant viewer that never uploads your file

Just need to look at a PDF, not edit it? Our View PDF tool opens it instantly, page by page, using the same rendering technology built into Chrome and Firefox — nothing is sent anywhere just to read it.

Edit PDF — a full-page editor that never uploads your file

Need more than one change to a PDF? Our Edit PDF tool opens every page as a thumbnail you can act on directly — delete it, duplicate it, rotate it, crop it with a draggable crop box, drag it to a new spot, download just that one page, or use the tiny + between pages to insert a blank one exactly where you need it.

Add a watermark, stamp, or image to a PDF free

Need to mark a document as confidential, a draft, or approved? Our Add Watermark to PDF tool stamps your own text or an uploaded image across every page — at any rotation angle you type in, with your choice of size, color, and opacity — right in your browser. Need a single mark in one corner instead, like an "APPROVED" or "PAID" badge, a signature, or a company seal? Our Add Stamp to PDF tool does that, with one-click presets or your own text, placed in any corner, dragged exactly where you want it, and rotated to any angle. And to place a photo, diagram, or signature directly onto just one page instead, our Insert Image to PDF tool drops it in at the page number you choose, sized and rotated your way.

Sign a PDF online free

Need your own signature on a document, not a stamp or a watermark? Our Sign PDF tool lets you type, draw, or upload your signature: type your name and pick a style from a preview built from your own name, draw it with your mouse or finger — or scan a QR code to draw it on your phone instead — or upload an image of it.

Merge Word documents free

Need the same flexibility for Word files? Our Merge Word tool combines multiple .doc or .docx files into a single document, in the exact order you choose — add your files, drag them into order, remove any you do not need, and download one combined .docx with each source document starting on its own page, with no sign-up and no watermark.

Convert an old .doc file to .docx free

Stuck with a file a portal or form won't accept? Our DOC to DOCX tool turns an old, legacy .doc file into the modern .docx format in seconds — the format Word itself has defaulted to since 2007, and the one most upload portals and applicant-tracking systems now expect.

Compress Excel and PowerPoint files free

Got a spreadsheet or a slide deck that is too big to email? Our Compress Excel and Compress PowerPoint tools shrink .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, and .pptx files in seconds by re-encoding the images embedded inside them — pasted screenshots, logos, photos, and charts saved as pictures are usually what makes these files huge, not the cells or slide text.

Lock and unlock PDFs free

Sharing something sensitive? Our Lock PDF tool lets you password protect a PDF with strong AES-256 encryption, so only people with the password can open it — ideal for contracts, statements, and reports you send by email. Upload your PDF, choose a password, and download the locked file in seconds, with no sign-up and no watermark. And when you receive a protected file you already have the password for, our Unlock PDF tool removes the password for a copy that opens freely.

View and edit PDF metadata free

Want to know what a PDF actually contains before you rely on it? Our View & Edit PDF Metadata tool shows you everything the file carries the moment you upload it — title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, PDF version, creation and modified dates, page count, page size, encryption status, and whether the PDF is tagged or linearized for fast web viewing.

Find out what fonts a PDF uses, free

Need to identify a typeface or check whether a PDF's fonts are properly embedded? Our PDF Font Finder tool reads every font referenced in your file and shows its name, style, whether it is embedded, whether that embedded copy is a subset, and which pages it appears on — the moment you upload it.

Frequently asked questions

Is this PDF to Word converter really free?

Yes. Converting PDF to Word and Word to PDF is completely free with no daily limits, no account, and no email required.

Will my formatting be preserved when I convert PDF to Word?

Yes. We keep your text, headings, tables, images, and layout as close to the original as possible so your converted Word document needs little to no cleanup.

Can I convert a scanned PDF to Word?

Text-based PDFs convert best and give you fully editable text. Scanned or image-only PDFs may come through as images, so the text may not be editable. For the cleanest results, use a PDF that already contains selectable text.

Do I need to install any software or create an account?

No. This is a free online PDF converter that runs entirely in your browser — no downloads, plugins, sign-up, or installation needed on Windows, Mac, or mobile.

Is there a file size limit?

You can convert files up to 25 MB per document, which covers the vast majority of everyday PDFs and Word files.

Can I reduce a PDF file size for email for free?

Yes. The Compress PDF tool is completely free and often shrinks image-heavy PDFs by 70–95%, which is usually enough to slip under the 20–25 MB attachment limits most email services enforce.

What is OCR PDF?

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) converts scanned or image-based PDFs into searchable and selectable text, so you can copy, search, and work with text that was previously locked inside an image.

Can OCR recognize text from scanned documents?

Yes. OCR can recognize printed text from scanned documents, invoices, books, receipts, contracts, and other image-based PDFs. Recognition accuracy depends on the quality of the original scan.

Can I convert a scanned PDF to Excel?

Text-based PDFs convert most reliably because the numbers are real, selectable text. Scanned or image-only pages are pictures of a table, so the data may not be recognised. For the cleanest result, use a PDF whose text you can select.

Can I edit the slides after converting a PDF to PowerPoint?

PDFs with selectable text convert to editable slide content you can change in PowerPoint. Scanned or image-only pages are pictures of text, so those slides may come through as images and the text may not be editable. For the cleanest, fully editable result, use a PDF that already has selectable text.

Can I convert JPG and PNG to PDF without losing quality?

Yes. JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and HEIC are all supported, and PNG transparency is preserved. Each picture is embedded at full resolution and scaled to fit the page, so your converted PDF stays sharp.

Does merging PDFs reduce their quality?

No. When you merge PDFs, every page is copied across exactly as it is — text stays sharp and images keep their original quality. Nothing is re-rendered or downgraded. If the combined file is large, you can shrink it afterwards with the Compress PDF tool.

What is the difference between a watermark and a stamp on a PDF?

A watermark repeats one mark across the whole page at any angle you choose, which is what "Draft" or "Confidential" labels normally need. A stamp places a single mark in one corner instead, like an "APPROVED" badge, a signature, or a company logo, and can be rotated too. Use the Add Watermark to PDF tool for the first and the Add Stamp to PDF tool for the second.

Are my files safe and private?

Yes. Files are processed on the server and never written to disk or stored. Once your conversion is delivered, nothing is kept.
