How to convert a PDF to Word
Choose the PDF
Pick the document from your library or upload it, and open PDF to Word.

The conversion runs in the background, so you can keep working while it finishes.
Download the .docx
Download the Word file and open it in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice or Pages.
A document you can actually edit
Structure kept
Paragraphs, headings and lists come through as real Word formatting, not as a picture of the page.

Questions and answers
How do I convert a PDF to Word?
Open PDF to Word in PDFZyro, choose the PDF and convert. When it's ready, download the .docx and open it in your word processor.
Can I convert a scanned PDF to Word?
Yes. A scan is a picture of text, so run OCR first to recognize the words, then convert to Word.
Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?
It keeps the text, headings, lists, tables and pictures so you can edit it. Complex layouts may need small touch-ups, since Word lays out pages differently from PDF.
Can I convert Word back to PDF?
Yes. Use Word to PDF to turn Word, Excel and PowerPoint files into PDFs.
Can I convert only some pages?
Yes. Choose the pages to convert, up to 300 at a time. You can also turn on text recognition for scanned pages during the conversion, and the Word file is ready to download for 24 hours.
Is PDF to Word free?
Yes. The Free plan includes 3 edit, convert, compress or OCR tasks a day, with files up to 50 MB, and never adds a watermark. Pro removes the daily limit and is free to try for 7 days, with no card needed.
