How to convert PDF to Word in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Upload your PDF using the box above (drag-and-drop or browse).

  2. 2

    Wait a few seconds while the page layout, text and formatting are extracted.

  3. 3

    Download the .docx file and open it in Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice.

Converting a PDF to Word only helps if the result is actually editable - not a picture of the page pasted into a .docx. LoveByPDF re-extracts the real text, fonts and layout from your PDF, and runs Hindi & English OCR automatically when the PDF is a scan rather than a native document, so a photographed or scanned page comes out as text you can select and edit too.

Frequently asked questions

Will my formatting - tables, bullet points, fonts - be preserved?

The conversion reconstructs the page layout, including tables, headings and bullet points, rather than dropping everything into plain paragraphs. Very complex layouts (multi-column brochures, heavy custom fonts) may need small manual touch-ups in Word afterward, which is true of any PDF-to-Word tool.

Does it work on a scanned PDF, not just a typed one?

Yes. If the PDF has no selectable text - a phone photo or scanned document - OCR runs automatically, with support for both Hindi and English text.

What happens to my file after conversion?

Your uploaded PDF and the converted Word file are both automatically deleted from our servers within 15 minutes.

Is the Word file really editable, or just a picture of the page?

It is a real, editable .docx. LoveByPDF re-extracts the actual text, fonts, tables and images from your PDF instead of pasting a screenshot of the page into Word, so you can click and type anywhere.

Can it convert a scanned PDF or a photo of a document to Word?

Yes. When a PDF is a scan, LoveByPDF detects it, asks whether you want a flowing document or an exact-layout copy, and runs Hindi and English OCR to turn the picture of text into editable text.

Will my tables and formatting survive the conversion?

Tables, columns, bold and italic text, font sizes, colours, headers and images are carried over. Very complex designer layouts may shift slightly, which is why the exact-layout option exists for scans.

Are my PDF files kept private?

Uploaded files are used only to make your Word file and are automatically deleted from our servers about 15 minutes later. We never read, share or train on your documents.

How much does PDF to Word cost?

You get one free conversion every day. After that, conversions cost credits, or you can take a subscription for unlimited use. There is no watermark on the result.

Can I convert many PDFs at once?

Yes. You can drop several PDFs, or a ZIP of PDFs, into the box and download the results together.
