About Word to PDF
PDF is what you send when the layout must not shift and the recipient must not edit — an application, a quotation, a signed letter. This reads the .docx directly and lays it out as a PDF whose text is real text: searchable, selectable, and copyable rather than a picture of a page.
How it works
- 1Pick a .docx file.
- 2Set the paper size, margins, typeface and text size if the defaults are not what you want.
- 3Press Convert to PDF and download the result.
Questions
- Will the PDF look exactly like my Word document?
- Not exactly, and the tool says so on the page. Your document’s structure is rebuilt rather than photographed: headings, paragraphs, alignment, bold and italic, bulleted and numbered lists, tables and images all carry over. Page headers and footers, multiple columns, text boxes, footnotes and precise spacing do not. For an exact reproduction, use Word’s own Save as PDF — nothing running in a browser can match the original layout engine.
- Can it convert an old .doc file?
- No — only the modern .docx format. The pre-2007 .doc format is a different, binary format. Open it in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs and save as .docx first.
- My document is in a language that uses a non-Latin script.
- The output uses the fonts built into every PDF reader, which cover Latin alphabets — so English, Indonesian and Western European languages are fine. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Thai and Cyrillic characters are dropped rather than crashing the conversion, because embedding a font that covers them would mean shipping several megabytes to every visitor.
- Is the text in the PDF searchable?
- Yes. Every word is written as text, so Ctrl+F works, the content can be copied out, and screen readers can read it. This is the main reason to convert this way rather than printing the document to an image.
- Does it keep my images?
- Yes. Pictures embedded in the document are carried into the PDF and scaled to fit the text column. Vector drawings created inside Word, such as SmartArt and shapes, are not — they are stored in a Microsoft-specific format that cannot be read here.
- Is my Word document uploaded to convert it?
- No. The conversion runs in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly — the file is read into this tab’s memory and written back out there. The site is served as static files from Cloudflare’s edge and has no upload endpoint, no database and no server-side processing. The page ships a Content Security Policy that forbids it from contacting any host other than its own origin, so this is enforced by your browser rather than promised by us.

This page does the work itself, in this tab. Nothing about your file — not its name, not its contents — is sent to a server. Close the tab and no copy remains.
