How to convert a Word document to PDF

Open your document. Drop a .docx file into the box above or click to browse. Legacy .doc files need to be saved as .docx in Word first.
Convert. Click "Convert to PDF". Your document is parsed and rebuilt as a PDF on your own device — nothing is transmitted.
Check the result. Text, headings, lists, and images convert cleanly. Complex layouts are simplified — always glance over the result.
Download. Save the PDF. Your original Word file stays untouched.

Why convert Word to PDF?

A Word document changes with the device that opens it: fonts get substituted, line breaks shift, and on a machine without Word the file may not open at all. A PDF looks identical everywhere — which is why applications, invoices, contracts, term papers, and official correspondence are expected as PDF. Converting your .docx before sending is the difference between "looks exactly as intended" and "hopefully looks right".

The documents people convert are often the sensitive ones: CVs and cover letters, contracts, letters to authorities. That's exactly why this converter runs in your browser instead of on a server — the file never leaves your device, so there is nothing to trust and nothing to delete.

What converts well — and what gets simplified

Converts cleanly: paragraphs, headings (H1–H6), bold and italic text, bullet and numbered lists, embedded photos and images, block quotes.
Simplified: tables are rendered as plain rows of text, and multi-column layouts, text boxes, headers/footers, and footnotes are flattened into the main text flow.
Fonts: text is set in Helvetica for maximum PDF compatibility. Custom fonts from the document are not embedded.

For a standard letter, CV, or paper this produces a clean, readable PDF. For heavily designed documents (brochures, forms with precise positioning), the export function of Word itself or LibreOffice will preserve more layout detail.

Good to know

Only the modern .docx format is supported. In Word, save older .doc files via File → Save As → "Word Document (.docx)" first.
Conversion happens offline in your browser — you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
There are no file size limits, no watermarks, and no daily quotas.
Need to shrink the result for an upload portal? Pass it through our Compress PDF tool afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my Word document uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript — your document never leaves your device. You can even go offline after loading the page.

Will my formatting be preserved?

Text, headings, bold/italic, lists, and images convert cleanly. Tables and multi-column layouts are simplified into a linear text flow, and text is set in Helvetica.

Can I convert old .doc files?

Not directly — the tool reads the modern .docx format. Open the file in Word or LibreOffice and save it as .docx first.

Is there a file size limit?

No hard limit. Large documents with many images simply take a little longer, since everything is processed on your own device.

Is this really free?

Yes — free, no signup, no watermark, no limits. The site is funded by unobtrusive advertising.
