How to convert Word to PDF

Quick answer: To convert Word to PDF, add your .docx file, pick the page size and press Download PDF.

  1. Add your .docx file. Drag it onto the box or click to choose it. A preview of the document appears.
  2. Pick the page size. A4 or US Letter.
  3. Press Download PDF. The PDF downloads straight away, with real, selectable text.
  4. Need an exact copy of a complex layout? Use Print / Save as PDF and choose "Save as PDF" as the printer. It uses your browser's own layout and fonts, so it handles every language.

What's kept

Headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, underline, links, bullet and numbered lists, tables and pictures. Text boxes, columns, headers, footers and unusual fonts are simplified, as in most free converters.

Old .doc files

Only the modern .docx format is supported. Open an old .doc in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice and save it as .docx first.

Private by design

Most online converters upload your file to their server. Here the conversion runs inside your browser, so contracts, CVs and letters stay on your device.

Frequently asked questions

Is the text in the PDF selectable?

Yes. Download PDF writes real text, so you can search, select and copy it.

Why do some letters show as "?"?

The direct PDF uses standard PDF fonts, which cover Western European languages. For Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, Chinese and other scripts, use Print / Save as PDF: it uses your device's fonts.

Is there a file size limit?

Documents up to about 50 MB work on most computers. Very large documents with many images take longer on phones.
