    How it works

    Three steps, zero uploads

    The converter is code running in your browser tab — a desktop app that happens to live on a web page.

    1

    Choose your document

    Drop a .docx into the box or tap “Choose file”. Nothing is uploaded — the converter is code running in your own browser.

    2

    We typeset a real PDF

    Paragraphs, headings, bold/italic/underline, colors, indents, bullet and numbered lists, tables and embedded images are laid out onto proper PDF pages.

    3

    Download and send it

    Your PDF looks identical everywhere it opens — right for resumes, invoices, assignments and anything official.

    All tools

    Every Word & PDF tool here is free

    Each one runs right in this tab — pick what you need.

    Why convert Word to PDF at all?

    A .docx is a set of instructions your reader's software interprets. Open it on a machine without your fonts, or in a different version of Word, and the line breaks move, the table spills onto a second page, and the resume you spent an evening on arrives looking careless. PDF freezes the result: what you see when you download it is exactly what a recruiter, client, lecturer or letting agent sees. That is also why almost every upload form — job applications, tax portals, university submissions — asks for a PDF.

    What this converter keeps

    Headings and body text with their real sizes, bold, italic and underline, text colors, clickable web and email links, left and right indents, hanging indents, bullet lists, numbered lists (including letters and Roman numerals, restarting where your document restarts), tables with wrapped cell text and horizontally merged cells, embedded JPG and PNG images at their original resolution, and the page size and margins set in your document. Fonts are embedded in the output, so the file is self-contained and prints the same anywhere.

    Two things about tables specifically, since converters usually gloss over them: every table is drawn with a light grey border whether or not yours had one, and vertically merged cells (a cell spanning several rows) are laid out as separate cells. Text, alignment and column widths come across.

    What it simplifies — said plainly

    Very complex Word layouts are approximated rather than reproduced: floating text boxes, multi-column sections, SmartArt, charts, headers and footers, footnotes and tracked-change markup are not carried across. Everyday documents — letters, resumes, essays, invoices, contracts, reports — come out right. If you need pixel-perfect fidelity on a heavily designed brochure, print to PDF from Word itself; for everything else this is faster and never sends your file anywhere.

    Scripts we can and cannot set

    The embedded font covers Latin, Cyrillic and Greek — every Western and Eastern European language, including Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and Turkish. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai and Devanagari are not supported yet. Rather than handing you a PDF full of blank boxes, the converter checks the text first and tells you plainly when your document is in a script it cannot set.

    Private by design, not by promise

    Most online converters upload your document to a server and ask you to trust a deletion policy. This one has no server to upload to: the parser and the PDF typesetter are JavaScript running in your tab. Load this page, switch off your Wi-Fi, and the conversion still works — that is the proof. It makes the tool safe for contracts, medical letters, payslips and anything else you would rather not hand to a stranger's queue.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Is my document uploaded anywhere?
    No. The conversion runs in this browser tab — the .docx is read from disk, parsed and turned into a PDF locally, and the download is generated on your device. You can confirm it: open DevTools, switch to the Network tab, and convert a file. Nothing carrying the document leaves. Learn more →
    Do I need to sign up, and will there be a watermark?
    No account, no email, no watermark and no daily conversion cap. There is no server to meter you against — several free converters that also skip the sign-up still limit you to a couple of tasks per day. Learn more →
    Is there a file size or page limit?
    Each file can be up to 100 MB, and there is no daily cap, no page limit and no queue — there is no server metering you. Below that ceiling the real limit is your device's memory, so a huge document is slower on an old phone than on a laptop. Learn more →
    Will my formatting and fonts be preserved?
    Layout is kept: headings, bold, italic, underline, text colors, bullet and numbered lists, tables, inline JPG and PNG images, page size and margins. Two honest exceptions — we embed DejaVu rather than your original typeface, so Calibri or a corporate font is substituted, and headers and footers are not carried over. Learn more →
    Will hyperlinks in my document be clickable in the PDF?
    Yes. Web and email links are written into the PDF as real clickable link annotations, not just blue underlined text. Internal jumps — cross-references and a table of contents — are styled but do not click through, and link schemes other than http, https and mailto are dropped on purpose. Learn more →
    Can I convert an old .doc file?
    No. Legacy .doc is a binary format from Word 97-2003 and shares almost nothing with .docx, so we reject it rather than produce a broken PDF. Re-save it as .docx in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs first — it takes about a minute and it is free. Learn more →
    Can it read scanned documents, or Chinese, Japanese and Thai text?
    No to both. There is no OCR, so a scanned page inside a .docx stays an image. The embedded fonts cover Latin, Cyrillic and Greek — including accented and Cyrillic characters that turn into boxes elsewhere — but CJK, Thai and Devanagari are not supported and the converter raises a clear error rather than silently dropping the text. Learn more →
    Will comments and tracked changes show up in the PDF?
    No. The converter renders inserted text, ignores deleted text, and has no way to draw a comment balloon or revision mark, so you always get the clean final version. Note that this is not redaction — the comments still exist inside the original .docx. Learn more →
    Does it work offline?
    Yes, once the page has loaded. Everything needed to convert is already in the tab, so you can switch on airplane mode and keep converting. That is also the simplest proof that nothing is being uploaded. Learn more →
    Does this work on iPhone and Android?
    Yes — the converter runs in Safari and Chrome on phones and tablets exactly as it does on a desktop. There are also free iPhone and Android apps if you convert often or want share-sheet handoff and offline conversion, with no subscription and no watermark. For several files at once, use the batch converter on this site. Learn more →
