PDF to Word Without Losing Formatting
The converter rebuilds your PDF as real Word paragraphs, headings and tables instead of floating text boxes, and keeps images, bold, italic and colors. That makes PDF to Word without losing formatting realistic for reports, letters and CVs. Very complex layouts, like multi-column magazines or technical drawings, may need some tidying afterwards.

How to convert PDF to Word and keep the layout
- 1Select the PDF. Files created on a computer convert more cleanly than scans.

Good to know
- Only need to change a few words and keep the exact look? Edit PDF may be quicker: cover the old text with Whiteout and type over it.
- Multi-column pages can come out as a single column. Word's Columns setting brings the layout back.
- Fonts that aren't installed on your computer are replaced by similar ones. Installing the original font restores the look.
- Scanned PDFs are images, so run OCR PDF first, or you'll get pictures instead of editable text.
Frequently asked questions
Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?
Close, but not always identical. Paragraphs, headings, tables, images and basic styles carry over; exact positions, multi-column layouts and vector drawings may shift.
Are tables kept as real tables?
Yes. Tables are rebuilt as Word tables you can edit, including right-to-left tables in Arabic documents.
Is it free?
You can convert free 3 times a day without signing up. Files are uploaded encrypted and deleted right after conversion.
