Conversion notes
Text-based PDFs convert fastest. Scanned PDFs are supported through OCR before DOCX export.
Scanned PDFs are supported in this release through an OCR step that recognizes English text before conversion. Clean text PDFs skip OCR, while large or low-quality scans can take longer and may still need manual cleanup in Word afterward.

Tool FAQ
Does PDF to Word support scanned PDFs?
Yes. Scanned PDFs are supported through an OCR step that recognizes English text before the DOCX conversion begins.
Why can some conversions take longer?
Text-based PDFs skip OCR. Scanned PDFs need an OCR pass first, so large or low-quality scans can take more time and may still need cleanup afterward.
What do I download after conversion?
You get a DOCX file that opens in Word-compatible editors.
