These Terms govern your use of PDF to Word Converter. By using our service, you agree to these terms. Please read them carefully — we've written them to be clear and fair.
A plain-language summary of the most important points. The full legal text follows.
Our PDF to Word converter is free for both personal and commercial use, with no hidden fees or subscription required.
We never claim ownership of your documents. Your files stay on your device — we have no access to them whatsoever.
You can use our service without creating an account, signing up, or providing any personal information.
You are responsible for having the right to convert any document you process. Don't convert copyrighted content you don't own.
The service may not be used for any unlawful purpose, to harm others, or to violate anyone's intellectual property rights.
Conversion quality depends on the complexity of the source PDF. We don't guarantee pixel-perfect results for every document.
By accessing or using PDF to Word Converter at the PDF to Word Converter website (the "Service"), you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and PDF to Word Converter ("we," "us," or "our").
If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization or company, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and "you" refers collectively to you and that organization.
Continued use equals acceptance. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease using the Service. Your continued use of the Service following any update to these Terms constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
PDF to Word Converter provides a free, browser-based document conversion tool that allows users to convert Portable Document Format (PDF) files into editable Microsoft Word (DOCX) or Rich Text Format (RTF) documents. The Service is built on a client-side architecture using WebAssembly technology.

You must be at least 13 years of age (or the minimum digital age of consent in your country). If you are under 18, you must have parental or guardian consent to use this Service.
You must have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. If you are using the Service on behalf of a business, that business must be a legally recognized entity.
You must not be located in a country subject to a government embargo that would prohibit your use of the Service, and you must not be on any government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
You are responsible for ensuring your use of the Service complies with all laws and regulations applicable in your jurisdiction.

Students, researchers, and educators may freely use the Service to convert academic papers, textbooks, or research materials they are licensed to use.

The following uses are strictly prohibited. Violation of these restrictions may result in termination of access and potential legal action:
You may not use the Service to convert, reproduce, or distribute copyrighted material you do not own or do not have a license to use. This includes converting commercially distributed eBooks, licensed software manuals, or any other protected content without authorization.
You may not use bots, scrapers, scripts, crawlers, or any automated means to access the Service, perform conversions in bulk, or extract content from our website. The Service is designed for human, browser-based use only.
You may not reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Service, our conversion algorithms, or any proprietary component of the platform.
You may not attempt to interfere with, disrupt, disable, overburden, or impair the Service or the servers and networks connected to it. This includes DDoS attacks, injection attacks, or any form of malicious behavior.
You may not use the Service to convert, generate, or distribute documents containing malware, viruses, trojans, ransomware, or any other harmful or malicious code.
You may not use the Service to create fraudulent documents, forge official records, falsify government documents, produce counterfeit materials, or engage in any form of identity fraud or deception.
You may not resell, sublicense, or commercialize access to the Service or present it as your own product without our prior written consent. You may link to our Service but may not frame or embed it without permission.
While we respect your privacy choices, deliberately circumventing our advertising systems, bypassing usage controls, or using the Service through unauthorized third-party wrappers is prohibited, as it undermines our ability to provide the Service free of charge.
You may not use the Service for any purpose that violates applicable local, national, or international law or regulation, including but not limited to laws governing export control, data protection, and consumer protection.
We reserve the right to immediately suspend or permanently terminate access to the Service for any user found to be in violation of these prohibited use policies, without prior notice and without liability to us.
All content, design elements, user interface, source code, branding, logos, trademarks, service marks, and other materials comprising the PDF to Word Converter website and Service ("Our IP") are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable intellectual property laws.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for its intended purpose in accordance with these Terms. This license does not include:
Our Service incorporates open-source software libraries that are subject to their own licenses:
Use of these open-source components does not grant you any additional rights to Our IP.
"PDF to Word Converter" and any associated logos or product names are our trademarks or service marks. You may not use these marks without our prior written permission. Unauthorized use of our trademarks may constitute trademark infringement.
If you believe any content on our website infringes your copyright, please contact us at contact@pdftoword-converter.com with details of the claimed infringement, and we will respond promptly.
You retain full and complete ownership of all PDF files you convert using the Service, and all resulting Word documents generated from that conversion. We make no claim of ownership, license, or any right over any document, data, or content you process using our Service.
Because all processing occurs entirely within your browser, we are technically unable to access, view, read, or store your documents. This is not merely a policy commitment — it is an architectural reality of how the Service is built. Your files never leave your device.
By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:
Your privacy is guaranteed by design. Because we never receive your files, there is no risk of a data breach exposing your documents from our side. What you convert stays on your device, always.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PDF TO WORD CONVERTER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
We do not warrant that the converted Word document will perfectly replicate the original PDF in all respects. Conversion accuracy depends on the complexity of the source PDF, embedded fonts, and document structure. Complex multi-column layouts, unusual fonts, and scanned pages may convert with reduced fidelity.
We do not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times, uninterrupted, or free from errors. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or unforeseen technical issues.
We make no warranty that the Service is fit for any particular purpose. It is your responsibility to verify that the converted output meets your requirements before using it professionally.
While we implement industry-standard security measures, we cannot guarantee that our website is completely free from security vulnerabilities. No internet-based service can provide absolute security guarantees.
The Service integrates with third-party providers (e.g., Vercel for hosting, Google for analytics). We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or conduct of these third-party services.
We do not warrant that the Service will be compatible with all browsers, operating systems, or devices. Certain features (e.g., OCR) may require modern browser versions that support WebAssembly.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above disclaimers may not apply to you. In such cases, warranties are limited to the minimum required by law.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PDF TO WORD CONVERTER AND ITS OPERATORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PARTNERS, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY:
Loss of data, loss of documents, loss of business opportunities, or costs of procuring substitute services arising from your use of the Service.
Loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, or any other economic loss, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Any incidental or special damage, including but not limited to costs of recovery of any data or documents following a conversion failure.
Any loss or damage arising from interruption, suspension, or termination of the Service, or inability to access the Service.
In any event, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising from or relating to your use of the Service, regardless of the form of action, shall not exceed USD $50.00 (fifty United States dollars) — or the amount you have actually paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim, whichever is greater. Since the Service is free, this effectively means our maximum liability to you is USD $50.00.
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on liability for personal injury or certain types of damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PDF to Word Converter, its operators, officers, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and successors from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, debt, and expenses (including attorney's fees) arising from:
We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will cooperate fully with us in asserting any available defenses.
The Service relies on a number of third-party service providers to function. These include:
| Provider | Role | Their Terms Apply To |

| Google Analytics | Anonymous website traffic analysis | Anonymized usage data collection |

Our website may contain links to external websites or services not operated or controlled by us. These links are provided for your convenience and informational purposes only. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites. We strongly advise you to review the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
The Service displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. These advertisements are provided by third-party advertisers and we have no control over the content of those advertisements. Clicking on advertisements may take you to third-party websites governed by their own terms. We are not responsible for the content or practices of those third-party advertisers or their websites.
We strive to keep the Service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability and are not liable for any downtime. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to:
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to:
Upon termination of your access to the Service, all rights granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) shall continue to apply.
Since the Service requires no account, "termination" means we may block your browser or IP from accessing the site. No account deletion or data removal process is required, since we hold no personal data about you.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable to the operator of this Service, without regard to conflict of law principles. If you are accessing the Service from another jurisdiction, you are responsible for compliance with local laws to the extent they are applicable.
In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service, we encourage you to first contact us at contact@pdftoword-converter.com to seek an informal resolution. We will make a good-faith effort to resolve any dispute within 30 days of being notified.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted on an individual basis only, and not as a class action, collective action, or representative action. You waive any right to participate in a class-wide arbitration or class-wide litigation.
Any claim or cause of action you may have arising out of or relating to your use of the Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or it shall be forever barred.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will:
Your continued use of the Service after any changes to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree with the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.
