• Your file travels over an encrypted connection and is deleted from the server as soon as it is converted.

Tips for the best result

• It works best on PDFs made from Word, Excel or similar programs.
• Complex layouts may need small manual fixes.
• Scanned PDFs convert as pictures, not editable text. OCR for scans is not available in this tool.

When you need more than this converter

For scans, large batches or heavy daily use, Adobe Acrobat Pro handles OCR and converts with no daily limit. Buy genuine Acrobat Pro in Ghana. For small changes you may not need to convert at all: try the free PDF editor.

How to convert PDF to Word without losing formatting

• Use a PDF made by software (Word, Excel, a report) rather than a scan or photo.
• Keep layouts simple: columns, text boxes and heavy graphics are harder to rebuild.
• After converting, check tables, headers and page breaks, and fix any small shifts.
• To go back to PDF afterwards, use Word to PDF.

Works on your phone

The converter runs in your browser, so you can convert on a phone, then open the DOCX in the Word or Google Docs app.

Frequently asked questions

Is PDF to Word free?

Yes. You get three free conversions a day without signing in.

Will the formatting stay the same?

Usually close. Text, tables and pictures are rebuilt, but complex layouts may need adjusting.

Can I convert a scanned PDF?

It will convert, but the pages arrive as pictures rather than editable text.

Can I edit the Word file in Google Docs?

Yes. DOCX opens in Word, Google Docs and other editors.

How big can the PDF be?

The free version accepts files up to 10 MB and 60 pages.

Is it safe to convert a confidential document?

Files travel over an encrypted connection and are deleted from the server as soon as they are converted. For very sensitive documents, you can use the tools that run entirely on your device, such as the PDF editor.

Why did my layout change?

Word and PDF handle layout differently, so complex pages may need small manual fixes.
