Open the free PDF to Word converter on News Appite, choose your PDF, keep "Editable text" selected and press "Convert to DOCX". The Word file downloads in seconds and opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or WPS Office. Scanned PDFs must go through PDF OCR first.
Step-by-step: PDF to Word in under a minute
- Open the PDF to Word converter in any browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge) on your phone or computer.
- Tap Choose files and select the PDF. You can add several PDFs at once.
- Keep the layout on Editable text. This rebuilds paragraphs, headings and lists so you can type into them.
- Press Convert to DOCX. The Word file downloads automatically; with several files you can download a ZIP.
- Open the DOCX in Word or Google Docs, check headings and tables, and save.
Everything runs inside your browser, so the PDF is never uploaded. That makes it safe for bank statements, salary slips, contracts and ID documents.

Digital PDF or scanned PDF? Check this first
A digital PDF (exported from Word, a website or an accounting tool) contains real text. Try selecting a sentence: if it highlights, the converter can rebuild it as editable Word text.
A scanned PDF is only a photo of each page. Nothing can be selected, so there is no text to convert. Run it through PDF OCR first; it recognises English, Hindi and other Indian languages and gives you text you can paste into Word.
How to keep the formatting as close as possible
- Simple layouts convert best. Letters, reports, resumes and notices come through with headings, paragraphs and lists intact.
- Tables and columns are simplified into a clean single-column flow, which is easier to edit but may need small fixes.
- Need an exact copy, not editing? Choose "Page images". Each page is placed in Word as a picture that looks identical to the PDF.
- Fonts: Word uses its own fonts (Calibri by default), so line breaks can move slightly. Select all and change the font if you need a match.
