Word to PDF

Convert .docx Word documents to PDF right in your browser — nothing uploaded.

All PDF tools

Quick answer

Convert Word to PDF free — turn a .docx document into a PDF that looks the same everywhere, up to 30 MB, right in your browser. Built for students submitting assignments and professionals sharing read-only documents. Conversion happens on your device; the file is never uploaded.

Best for simple documents. Headings, paragraphs, bold/italic text, lists and standard images convert well — complex tables, columns, headers/footers and exotic fonts may be simplified.

How to convert Word to PDF

  1. Upload a .docx file

    Drag and drop a Word document (up to 30 MB) onto the tool. Legacy .doc files are not supported.

  2. Convert locally

    Your browser parses the document and renders it to PDF on your device.

  3. Download the PDF

    Save the converted PDF, which keeps headings, paragraphs and lists.

Key features

Layout preserved

Headings, paragraphs, lists and basic formatting are carried into the PDF.

No Word required

You do not need Microsoft Word installed — the converter runs in your browser.

Fixed, share-safe output

The PDF looks identical on every device, ready to email or upload.

Supported formats

  • Input: Word document (.docx) up to 30 MB
  • Output: standard PDF (.pdf)

Privacy and security

Conversion runs in your browser. The .docx is parsed and rendered to PDF on your own device and downloaded from there — it is never uploaded to a server.

Limitations

  • Legacy .doc files are not supported — save as .docx first.
  • Complex layouts (text boxes, tracked changes, embedded charts) may not convert perfectly.
  • Custom fonts not available on your device may be substituted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my document uploaded to a server?

No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser — your .docx never leaves your device.

Will complex formatting convert perfectly?

Not always — this tool is best for simple documents. Headings, paragraphs, bold/italic text and bulleted or numbered lists convert well. Complex tables, headers/footers, columns, tracked changes and exotic fonts may be simplified or omitted.

Are images included?

Standard embedded images (JPG/PNG) are placed into the PDF at reduced complexity. Very large or unusually encoded images may be skipped.

Is the output PDF text selectable?

Yes. The PDF is generated with real embedded text (not screenshots), so it stays searchable, sharp at any zoom, and copy-paste friendly.

Do I need Microsoft Word installed?

No. The converter reads the .docx format directly in your browser — no Office installation or plug-in required.
