How to Create a PDF from a Word Document
Three steps, all in your browser.
1
Add your document
Drag in a single Word .docx document, or click to browse and choose one. Nothing is uploaded.
2
Text is extracted
The document's text, headings and bullet lists are read and laid out as clean, selectable A4 text.
3
Create and download
Click Create PDF to build the file, then download it or open it in a new tab. Need images combined into a PDF instead? Use the Image to PDF converter.
To go back the other way, PDF to Word rebuilds a .docx from a PDF's text. Excel to PDF handles spreadsheets, and HTML to PDF renders markup to a page.
What converts, and what does not
This converter reads the text out of a .docx and lays it into a PDF. It is a text-fidelity conversion, not a layout-faithful one — this table is the honest summary.
| Element | Result |
|---|---|
| Paragraph text | Converted |
| Headings and paragraph breaks | Converted as text flow |
| Embedded images | Not carried over |
| Tables | Not carried over as tables |
| Fonts, colours and styling | Not preserved — output uses a standard font |
| Headers, footers and page numbers | Not carried over |
| Input format | .docx only (not the older .doc) |
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I convert to PDF?
A modern Word .docx document. Add a single .docx file and it's converted into a PDF where the text stays selectable and searchable. One .docx is converted at a time.
Does it work with old .doc files?
No — .doc files are not supported. Only the modern .docx format works, not the older binary .doc format. The .doc format cannot be reliably read inside a browser. If you have a .doc file, open it in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice and save or export it as a Word Document (.docx), then convert that. Most Word files created in the last fifteen years are already .docx.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No — the converter runs entirely in your browser. Your document is read and turned into a PDF on your own device, and nothing is uploaded, logged or stored. That makes it safe for private contracts and personal documents, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded. Closing the tab clears everything.
How faithful is the Word to PDF conversion?
The converter extracts the document's text, headings and bullet lists and lays them out as clean, selectable text on A4 pages, so the result reads well and can be searched and copied. Because it focuses on the text, complex formatting such as embedded images, tables, columns, fonts and exact spacing is simplified or dropped. For a quick, shareable PDF of a document's contents it works well; for a pixel-perfect copy of a heavily designed document, exporting to PDF from Word itself is better.
