About PDF Converter
PDF Converter converts to and from PDF: turn Word, Excel and PowerPoint files or images into PDF, or convert a PDF into an editable format such as Word (DOCX), ODT, RTF, HTML or plain text. The available output formats are listed for the file you upload.
Conversion is done with LibreOffice. Office files to PDF convert very faithfully. Converting a PDF back into Word is harder by nature: text is kept, but complex layouts may become text boxes that need some tidying. Files are sent over HTTPS, processed on our server and deleted automatically after you download the result.

- Embed or use common fonts in your Office files for the most faithful PDF.
Frequently asked questions
A scan is an image, so the Word file will contain the image, not editable text. Run OCR PDF first to recognise the text.
