Can I convert PDF to Word on Windows without installing software?

Yes. FixTools runs in your Windows browser — Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. No software download, no Adobe installation, and no sign-up are required.

Does Microsoft Word on Windows open FixTools converted .docx files?

Yes. The .docx format is the native Word format. Files converted by FixTools open directly in Microsoft Word with full editing capability.

Can I drag a PDF from File Explorer into FixTools on Windows?

Yes. Open the FixTools PDF to Word page in Chrome or Edge, then drag your PDF from File Explorer onto the upload area. This is the fastest way to load a file.

Does Windows 10 or 11 have a built-in PDF to Word converter?

No. Windows includes Microsoft Edge for viewing PDFs, but it cannot convert them to Word. Word itself can open PDFs and convert them, but requires a Microsoft 365 subscription for full functionality. FixTools is free.

Is FixTools safe to use on a work Windows computer?

Yes. Because all processing is done in your browser with no server uploads, using FixTools on a work computer does not transmit your files over the internet or to third parties.
