Is this Word to PDF converter free and private?

Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and the conversion happens entirely in your browser — your document is never uploaded to any server, so it stays private on your device.

Does it keep my formatting?

It preserves headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, lists, tables and inline images from a .docx file. Very complex layouts, text boxes or unusual fonts may shift slightly, since the PDF is generated from a clean web rendering of your document.

Which file types work?

Modern Word .docx files. The older .doc format is not supported — open it in Word or Google Docs and save as .docx first.

Word to PDF Converter (free, in-browser)

How it works

The tool reads your .docx in the browser and rebuilds it as a clean web document — keeping headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, lists, tables and inline images. When you click Download PDF, your browser's built-in "Save as PDF" turns that rendering into a PDF with real, selectable text (not a blurry image). Because everything runs locally, your document is never uploaded and stays completely private.

Best with .docx files. Highly complex layouts, text boxes or embedded fonts may shift slightly. In the print dialog, choose "Save as PDF" as the destination.

Frequently asked questions

Where does my file go?

Nowhere — it's processed inside your browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server, which is why it works even on sensitive documents.

My .doc file won't load.

Only the newer .docx format is supported. Open the file in Word or Google Docs and "Save As" .docx, then try again.
