Do I need to sign up?

No. Converting and downloading need no account. Signing in is only for saving the result to the cloud and continuing on another device.

Is the result watermarked?

No. Nothing is watermarked and there is no limit on how many times you convert.

Is my file uploaded to your servers?

No. The whole conversion happens in your browser. Open DevTools (F12) and watch the Network tab to check — it also works with the network switched off.

How big a file can I convert?

Up to 50 MB per file. That is not a marketing gate — it is where a browser stops coping. Past it, a phone will have the tab killed by the OS, silently.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, with the same features as on a computer. Very large files will simply take longer.

Will you start charging later?

It is free and unlimited today. We avoid absolute promises nobody can back, and there is no hidden sign-up wall or usage cap either.

Will the layout survive?

A PDF has no concept of a paragraph — only positioned glyphs. We rebuild reading order and heading levels, but multi-column layouts and floating text boxes will need a manual pass in the editor.

How do I know whether my PDF is a scan?

Open it in any reader and try to select a line of text with the mouse. If you can select it, it is text-based; if not, it is a scan.

Can I edit the result straight away?

Yes. “Open in Tutu Office” loads it into the online Word editor, and you can export DOCX or PDF from there.

PDF to Word — free, no watermark, no sign-up

Drop a PDF in and the text and tables come out as an editable Word document you can keep working on right here. Text-based PDFs work; scans (pages that are just images) do not — that needs OCR, and we do not do OCR.

What comes across, and what does not

Comes across

Body text and paragraphs
Heading levels inferred from font size
Tabular data laid out in columns
The reading order of every page

Does not come across

Text inside scans (needs OCR, which we do not do)
Images and vector graphics
Exact placement of multi-column layouts
Original ownership of headers, footers and footnotes

How to use it

1
Drop a file in, or click “choose a file” to pick one
2
It starts automatically and names each step as it runs
3
Download the result, or keep editing it in Tutu Office
