Convert a PDF letterhead to a .docx
Upload your designed PDF. Get back a Word document with the artwork locked into the header and footer — and a clean body to type in.
You have a letterhead as a PDF — a designer built it, or it came back from a print shop — and now you need to actually write letters on it. A PDF won’t let you do that. You need a Microsoft Word .docx file you can open, type into, and send.
The obvious move — running the PDF through a free PDF-to-Word converter — almost always fails for letterhead. Generic converters try to make every element editable: they trace the logo into shapes, drop your address into floating text boxes, and substitute fonts you don’t have. The result looks broken the moment a colleague opens it.
Letterhead Lab does the opposite. It treats the artwork as artwork. The top and bottom of your PDF become high-resolution images placed into the Word document’s header and footer — exactly where Word expects a letterhead to live. The body in between is a clean, blank, editable page.
What you get from the .docx
The file you download is a genuine Word document, not a PDF in disguise. Open it in Word, Google Docs, or Pages and start typing — the letterhead is already in place.
Because the artwork sits in the header and footer, Word repeats it automatically on every page of a long letter. Nobody has to copy-paste a logo or nudge a text box. Margins and the body start position are set during the conversion, so the first line of your letter lands exactly where it should.
Your PDF never leaves your computer. Parsing and document generation both run in your browser — Letterhead Lab’s servers never see the file. You preview the result for free and pay $39 only when you download the final, unwatermarked .docx.
Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from a free PDF-to-Word converter?
- Free converters flatten the whole letterhead into editable text and shapes, which breaks the design. Letterhead Lab keeps the artwork as an image in the Word header and footer, so it stays pixel-perfect while the letter body stays editable.
- Will the .docx open in Google Docs and Pages?
- Yes. It is a standard Microsoft Word .docx file. Word renders headers and footers most faithfully, but Google Docs and Apple Pages open it too.
- Do my fonts need to be installed for it to look right?
- No. The letterhead artwork is an image, so its typography is baked in and looks identical on every machine. Only the letter body you type uses a normal Word font.
- Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
- No. The PDF is read and converted entirely in your browser. The file never reaches Letterhead Lab's servers — only Stripe sees your email and payment when you buy.
- How much does the .docx cost?
- $39 for a single-page letterhead converted to a US Letter .docx. You can preview the conversion for free and only pay when you download the final file.
