Easy conversion from PDF to Word on MacBook online

PDF to Word Online

As you can see, there are two options available during the conversion: “Convert selectable text” and “Convert text from scans.” The former is our free option, available to all. It’s perfect for regular PDFs and transfers the content from one format to another. The latter is a pro feature with OCR. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) detects letters in scans and photos and creates an editable Word document from scratch. If you want to give OCR a try for free, check out our Smallpdf Pro 7-day free trial. It’ll open the doors to many other Pro features and benefits, such as higher upload and processing speeds, limitless usage of our tools online, and access to the Smallpdf Desktop App.

  4. Make sure Word is set as the desired output.
