Open a PDF as an editable Word file.

Three steps.

1. 01Drop your PDF or click to choose.
2. 02We convert it to DOCX on the worker — fast and exact.
3. 03Download the result. We delete everything in an hour.

Is my file secure?

We never read your file. Conversion runs in an isolated container, and we delete the upload and the result within an hour.

What's the file size limit?

50MB on Free · 200MB on Pro · 500MB on Max.

What if my PDF is too large to email?

Run the free PDF size check first — we’ll tell you whether your file fits in Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail, and which DocShop tool will get it there. The check runs in your browser; the file never leaves your device.

Does PDF to Word keep tables?

Yes — tables stay as Word tables (not flattened text), so you can add rows, change column widths, and apply table styles. Borders, merged cells, and header rows carry over. Very complex tables (with nested headers) sometimes need a minute of cleanup by hand.

Does it keep images?

Yes. Images embedded in the PDF stay embedded in the Word document at their original position. Vector images (charts, diagrams) come through as Word shapes you can edit. Raster images (photos, scans) stay as images.

Will a scanned PDF become editable?

No — we don't run OCR in this version. A scanned PDF has no text layer for the converter to extract, so the Word document will be empty of editable text (it will look like a blank document, even though the original page had visible text). If you need OCR, run the PDF through an OCR service first, or upload a PDF that was born digital (exported from Word, Pages, or a web page) — those convert cleanly.

Will the formatting be exactly the same?

Mostly. Paragraphs stay as paragraphs, headings stay as headings (with Word heading styles applied), lists stay as lists. Fonts are mapped to common Word equivalents — a custom display font may render in Calibri. Layout, columns, and footnotes typically carry through cleanly.

Will formatting be preserved?

Layouts, fonts, and images come through cleanly. For signed contracts or anything going to a client, open the result once before sending — automated conversion is reliable but not perfect.
