How to Use

  1. 1

    Upload your Word document

    Click the upload area or drag and drop your .docx file. The file is read directly in your browser — it is never uploaded to any server. Only .docx format is supported (not .doc). If you have an older .doc file, open it in Microsoft Word or Google Docs and save it as .docx first.

  2. 2

    Wait for conversion

    The tool instantly parses your Word document and converts it to a web-friendly format. This usually takes less than a second for most documents. Longer documents with many images may take a few seconds.

  3. 3

    Review the preview

    A preview of your document appears on screen. Scroll through it to make sure the content looks correct. Text, headings, lists, tables, and inline images are all preserved.

  4. 4

    Download as PDF

    Click the Download as PDF button. A print dialog will open in a new tab — select Save as PDF as the destination (in Chrome, this is the default). Set paper size to A4 or Letter and click Save. Your PDF is ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Word to PDF converter free?

Yes, completely free. No account, no subscription, no watermarks on the output PDF. Convert as many documents as you need.

Is my document uploaded to a server?

No. Your .docx file is read and converted entirely inside your browser using JavaScript. It is never sent to any server or stored anywhere. This makes it completely private.

What Word formats are supported?

.docx files are supported. This is the modern Microsoft Word format used by Word 2007 and later. Older .doc files are not directly supported — open them in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice and save as .docx first.

How to Convert Word to PDF without Microsoft Word?

Upload your .docx file to this tool, click Download as PDF, and save using your browser's Save as PDF option. No Microsoft Word, no Office subscription, no software installation needed.

How to Convert Word to PDF on iPhone or iPad?

Open this page in Safari or Chrome on your iPhone or iPad, tap the upload area, select your .docx file from Files, and tap Download as PDF. In the print dialog, use the share sheet to save as PDF.

Will my formatting be preserved?

Most common formatting is preserved: headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, underline, bullet lists, numbered lists, tables, and inline images. Very complex layouts like text boxes, SmartArt, custom fonts, and multi-column layouts may not convert perfectly — for those, Microsoft Word's own Export to PDF gives the most faithful result.

How to save the print dialog as PDF?

When the print dialog opens, look for the Destination or Printer dropdown. Select Save as PDF (Chrome/Edge) or PDF > Save as PDF (Safari/Mac). Then click Save and choose where to save the file.

What if my PDF looks different from the Word document?

This browser-based converter handles most standard formatting well, but complex documents with custom fonts, text boxes, or advanced layouts may differ slightly. For pixel-perfect conversion, use Microsoft Word's built-in File > Export > Create PDF/XPS option.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no hard limit set by this tool. However, very large documents (over 50MB with many high-resolution images) may be slow to process since everything runs in your browser. For best performance, compress images in your Word document before converting.
