How it works
How to convert PDF to Word
- 01
Drop your PDF into the upload area, or click to browse. You can add several at once.
- 02
Choose Convert to editable Word, or Convert with OCR if the PDF is a scan or a photo of a page.
- 03
Click Convert to Word.
- 04
Download your .docx file, or a ZIP if you converted several PDFs.
Text you can type into
Text comes back as paragraphs you can edit in Word, keeping fonts, sizes, bold and colors where possible.
Tables stay tables
Tables are recreated as real Word tables with rows and cells, not as lines of spaced-out text.
Scans become editable
Scanned contracts and letters are run through text recognition first, so you get words to edit instead of a picture of a page.
Questions
Frequently asked
Will the formatting stay the same?
CrestPDF keeps the layout, fonts, tables and images as close to the original as it can. Complex layouts with many columns or overlapping text boxes may need small touch-ups.
Can I convert several PDFs at once?
Yes. Add several PDFs and each one becomes its own .docx, downloaded together in a ZIP.
Can I convert a scanned PDF?
Yes. Pick Convert with OCR and the scanned text is recognized before the Word file is built, so you can edit it instead of working around a picture.
How long does it take to convert PDF to Word?
Usually just a few seconds. Very large files can take a little longer.
Is PDF to Word free?
Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up and no watermarks added to your files.
