How it works
- 01
Select the PDF
Upload the clearest available source document.
- 02
Choose the conversion mode
Leave OCR off for text PDFs; enable it when pages contain scanned images instead of selectable text.
- 03
Download and compare
Open the DOCX beside the PDF and verify text, tables, images, page order, and formatting.
Common upload problems this solves
The DOCX contains uneditable page images
Try again with OCR enabled when the original PDF is a scan.
Columns or tables move after conversion
Complex layout geometry may not map cleanly to Word. Compare with the PDF and repair the affected sections manually.
OCR produces incorrect words
Use a sharper, upright scan and proofread names, dates, numbers, and technical terms against the original.
Privacy and file handling
The PDF is uploaded to the processing service for conversion. Uploaded and generated files are removed from processing storage after the configured one-hour retention period. Avoid uploading documents that are too sensitive for an online service.
