Who is it for?

Suits people who want to turn a PDF into an editable Word document and care about keeping tables and layout (the provider claims it does).
Suits people who also want to convert other formats (documents, images, audio, video) in a single converter.

Getting started

On cloudconvert.com open the PDF to DOCX page and choose your PDF file.
Confirm the output format and start the conversion; check your credit balance on the pricing page if needed.
Download the output and, when finished, use the delete button to remove the file from the servers; compare tables and text layout with the source PDF.

Decision points

If a few conversions a day are enough, start with the free credits; for many documents, weigh credit packages or subscriptions on the pricing page.
If you need OCR for scanned PDFs, this page does not mention OCR; confirm OCR support separately or pick an OCR-focused tool.

Limits

Free use is limited to 10 credits per day, files up to 1 GB and 5 minutes of processing, with low priority; some conversion types use more credits (pricing page, may change).
Account requirements are inconsistent across the pages: the home page shows the converter before sign-in, while the pricing page suggests registration is needed to use the service; check before relying on it.

Frequently asked questions

How long does CloudConvert keep my files?

The privacy page says files are deleted immediately and irreversibly when you use the delete button, and automatically after 24 hours at the latest. Servers are in Germany, or in the US if you use the service from the US, and transfer is protected by SSL.

Is there a watermark in the free version?

No watermark statement appeared on the official pages reviewed. Free use comes with daily credit, file size and processing time limits; check the watermark situation with your first conversion.
