Word to PDF Converter

Turn a .docx document into a clean PDF in your browser. Text, headings, lists, bold/italic and simple tables carry over; complex layouts are simplified.

.docx files up to 40 MB

This tool runs entirely in your browser — your files are processed locally and are never uploaded to a server. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads.

What carries over: paragraphs, headings, bold and italic text, bulleted and numbered lists, and simple tables (as text rows). Page headers/footers, images, custom fonts, text boxes and multi-column layouts are not reproduced — the PDF is a clean, readable rendition of your document's text. Only modern .docx files are supported, not legacy .doc.

How to convert Word to PDF

Four steps to a shareable PDF.

  1. Add your .docx file

    Drop the document onto the zone or click “Browse files”. Modern .docx files up to 40 MB are accepted.

  2. Convert

    Click “Convert to PDF”. The document is parsed and laid out as PDF pages on your device.

  3. Wait for processing

    The progress bar tracks the conversion; longer documents take a few seconds.

  4. Download the PDF

    Click “Download PDF” to save a clean, shareable version of your document.

What this tool does

This converter reads your .docx with the mammoth library — the same open-source engine used to import Word files into many web apps — and rebuilds the content as a PDF with jsPDF, entirely inside your browser.

The focus is a clean, readable rendition of your document’s content: paragraphs, headings, bold and italic text, bulleted and numbered lists, and simple tables all carry over. The PDF uses a standard typeface that displays identically on every device, which is exactly what you want when sharing a document whose recipient may not have your fonts.

It is deliberately upfront about the rest: page headers and footers, embedded images, custom fonts, text boxes and multi-column layouts are not reproduced. For a text document — a letter, a CV, a report — the output is tidy and dependable.

Key features

Structure preserved

Headings stay headings, lists stay lists, and bold/italic emphasis survives — the PDF reads like your document, not a wall of text.

Universal output

The PDF uses a standard font, so it looks the same on every device and operating system.

Nothing uploaded

Parsing and PDF generation run locally with self-hosted libraries. Confidential documents stay on your machine.

Fast and free

No accounts, no watermarks, no conversion limits — and no upload queue slowing things down.

Honest rendering

The page states exactly which elements carry over, so the result matches your expectations.

Convert on the go

Pick a .docx from your phone’s files and get a PDF back without installing an office suite.

Supported formats and what carries over

Input: modern .docx files (Word 2007 and newer) up to 40 MB. Legacy .doc, .rtf and .odt files are not supported — re-save them as .docx first (any word processor can do this via Save As).

Output: a single PDF document.

  • Carries over: paragraphs, headings, bold and italic text, bulleted and numbered lists, simple tables (as text rows).
  • Not reproduced: images, custom fonts, headers/footers, footnotes, text boxes and multi-column layouts.

Practical use cases

  • Sharing for review — send a version that looks identical everywhere and cannot be accidentally edited.
  • Meeting a “PDF only” requirement — application portals, print shops and official forms frequently insist on PDF.
  • Printing — a PDF fixes the layout so nothing reflows between your screen and the printer.
  • Archiving — keep a stable, long-term-readable copy alongside the editable original.
  • Sending from a phone — convert a .docx to PDF on mobile without installing Office apps.

Limitations and notes

  • Only .docx is supported. If your file is .doc, .rtf or .odt, open it in any word processor and re-save as .docx first.
  • Page breaks and exact pagination will differ from Word — the content is re-laid-out, not photographed.
  • Embedded images and charts do not appear in the PDF; convert documents whose value is their text.
  • Password-protected or corrupted documents cannot be read — remove protection or repair the file first.

Frequently asked questions

Which files are supported?

Modern .docx files (Word 2007 and newer). Legacy .doc, .rtf and .odt files are not supported — re-save them as .docx first.

Will the PDF look identical to my document?

No — and any tool claiming perfect fidelity in a browser is overstating it. You get a clean PDF with your text, headings, lists, emphasis and simple tables. Complex layouts, images, headers/footers and custom fonts are simplified.

Is my document uploaded?

No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser with self-hosted libraries. Nothing is transmitted or stored.

Why does my converted PDF have different fonts?

Your Word fonts are not embedded in a way a browser can reuse, so the PDF uses a standard, universally available typeface. The text content is preserved.

Will the page breaks match my Word document?

Not exactly. The content is re-laid-out for the PDF rather than photographed, so text may break to the next page at slightly different points. Headings and paragraph structure are preserved; precise pagination is not the goal of this tool.

Can I convert a .doc file?

Not directly — only the modern .docx format is supported. Open the .doc in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs and use Save As → .docx; the conversion then works normally.

Can I convert a protected document?

No. A password-protected .docx cannot be parsed without the password. Remove the protection in your word processor first, then convert.

Why convert with a browser tool at all?

Two reasons: your document never leaves your device (no upload to a conversion service), and it works on devices without an office suite installed — including phones and locked-down work machines.
