How to convert PDF to Word

  1. Add your PDF

    Drop the file onto the box above or tap to pick it. A quick safety check confirms it really is a PDF before anything else happens.

  2. Convert to Word

    Word is already chosen for you. Press Convert and watch the progress — your browser stays smooth while it works.

  3. Save your Word file

    Download the new file. DigiCompress then wipes both the original and the result from the page.

Good to know about PDF to Word

Text PDFs work best
A PDF made from Word or Google Docs converts cleanly. A scanned page is a picture of text — use image to text on it first.
Check tables and columns
Simple pages come across neatly. Pages with many columns or boxes may need a quick tidy in Word.
Password-protected PDFs
Remove the password in your PDF reader first, then convert it here.

Frequently asked questions

Will I be able to edit the text?

Yes. The words in your PDF become normal Word text that you can change, copy and restyle in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice.

How close to the original will it look?

This conversion keeps a basic layout. Text, headings and pictures come across. Columns, forms and fancy layouts are simplified, so check it before you send it. Keep the PDF as your original.

Is my PDF uploaded to convert it?

No. The PDF is turned into Word right inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. Nothing is sent to DigiCompress or anyone else, and both files are wiped from the page when you are done.

Can I convert a scanned PDF?

A scan is a photo of a page, so there is no text inside to move. Use image to text to copy the words out of a scan instead.

Is DigiCompress free?

Yes. You can shrink 3 files a day without an account. Sign in with Google or an email link to use it as much as you like. We don’t sell anything inside the tool, and we never ask for payment details.
