About this tool

Updated

What is PDF to Word conversion?

PDF to Word turns a PDF into an editable .docx file so you can change text in Microsoft Word or compatible editors. Synthixx focuses on text-based PDFs today; full OCR for scanned pages is best started with OCR PDF first.

Conversion modes (editable, exact, text) trade layout fidelity for editability. Hyperlinks and embedded images are preserved when detectable. Scanned image-only PDFs need OCR before you expect clean Word paragraphs.

When to use PDF to Word

Use PDF to Word when you must edit contracts, reports, or essays that only exist as PDF. Keep PDF if you only need to view, merge, or compress.

Choose Word output for collaboration and track-changes workflows. If you only need a few pages, extract those pages first. After editing in Word, Word to PDF rebuilds a shareable PDF.

Tips for accurate conversion

Prefer text-layer PDFs, pick Editable mode for most docs, and run OCR PDF first on scans. Preview pages and limit the page range when you only need part of a file.

Complex multi-column layouts may need cleanup in Word. Tables vary in fidelity. Always proof legal or financial numbers after conversion.

Privacy and file handling

Files are processed over HTTPS for your conversion job only, with scheduled cleanup and no watermark on the .docx output.

Do not upload privileged documents to any free converter unless policy allows. Synthixx does not sell file contents.

FAQ

Which conversion mode should I use?

Editable (recommended) rebuilds headings and paragraphs for easy editing. Exact keeps one line per visual line for closer fidelity. Text gives clean flowing text only.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Scanned or image-only PDFs need OCR, which is coming soon. Text-based PDFs convert with full quality today.

Are hyperlinks and images preserved?

Yes — detectable hyperlinks become clickable links in Word, and embedded JPEG images are extracted into the document.

Is there a file size limit?

You can convert PDFs up to 200 MB per file.
