Frequently asked questions

Is the PDF to Word converter free?
Yes. Converting PDF to Word on PDFMax is completely free. There's no account, no email and no subscription — open the tool, upload your file and download the DOCX.
Do I need to install anything or sign up?
No. Everything runs in your browser. There's no software to install and no signup, so you can convert a PDF to Word on any device right away.
Will the formatting and fonts be kept?
For PDFs with real, selectable text the converter preserves the text, paragraphs, tables and layout as closely as possible. Very complex designs or scanned image-only PDFs may need small touch-ups after conversion.
Can I convert a scanned PDF to editable Word?
Scanned PDFs are images of text, so a plain conversion may not produce editable words. For those, run our OCR tool first to recognize the text, then convert the result to Word.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. PDFMax works in mobile browsers on Android and iPhone as well as on desktop, so you can convert PDF to Word from your phone without an app.
Is it safe to convert my files here?
Your file is used only to perform the conversion and isn't shared or published. For sensitive documents, download your DOCX and you're free to delete the original at any time.
