Turn a Word document into a PDF — in your browser, never uploaded.
Processed on your device
Your files are processed in your browser and never uploaded.
Can you convert Word to PDF without uploading the file?
Yes. A .docx file is a zip of XML, which a browser can read on its own, so the conversion needs no server. The text, headings, lists and tables are read out and a new PDF is typeset from them on your device. What does not carry over is Word's exact page layout: its fonts, margins, columns, headers and images.
About Word to PDF
A .docx is a zip of XML, which means a browser can read one without help from a server — so this converter does. Your document is opened on your own machine, its structure is read out, and a fresh PDF is typeset from it with the standard PDF fonts. Nothing is uploaded, which matters more here than for most file types: a Word document is usually a contract, an application, a reference or a letter, and the free online converters all work by taking a copy of it onto their servers first. The trade-off is honest and worth knowing before you start — this reproduces the content and the structure of your document, not Word's pixel-exact page layout.
How to use Word to PDF
1
Choose your .docx
Drop in a Word document, or pick one. Word 97–2003 .doc files are a different, binary format and have to be re-saved as .docx first.
2
Set the page
A4 or Letter, and how large the body text should be. Headings scale from that size, so the whole document stays in proportion.
3
Convert and download
The PDF is built in the page and handed straight to you. Your document never leaves the browser, so there is nothing to delete afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
Will the PDF look exactly like my Word document?
No, and no browser-based converter can promise that. Reproducing Word's layout means reproducing Word's own line and page breaking. This reads your document's structure and typesets it afresh: text, headings, bold and italic, lists, blockquotes and tables come across; the fonts you used, your margins, columns, headers, footers and images do not.
Is my document uploaded?
No. The conversion runs entirely in this page, on your own processor. You can check it the simplest way there is: disconnect from the network and convert a document anyway — it still works, because there is no server involved.
Can it open an old .doc file?
Not directly. The modern .docx is a zip of XML that a browser can read; the older .doc is a binary format from 1997 that it cannot. Open it in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice and save it as .docx, and this will convert it.
What happens to pictures in the document?
They are left out. The PDF is typeset with the standard PDF fonts and has no way to place an image, so an embedded picture would only arrive as a broken link. The text around it is kept in order.
Does it work on a password-protected document?
No. An encrypted .docx cannot be read without its password, and this tool does not ask for one. Remove the protection in Word first, then convert.
Is there a size limit?
Only your device's memory. There is no account, no quota and no per-file cap, because nothing is being sent anywhere to be metered. A very long document simply takes a few seconds longer.
