unconvert
Reverse a transformation
To unconvert is to reverse a conversion—returning something or someone to a previous state.
In religion, it means losing or renouncing faith one had adopted: Years of doubt finally unconverted him.
In computing, it means reversing a file format change: I need to unconvert these PDFs back to Word documents.
The word implies undoing a transformation that was once considered complete.
