Convert Word to PDF

Turn DOC and DOCX documents into PDF files that look the same on every computer, phone and printer.

Convert Word to PDF — Make Your Document Look the Same Everywhere

A Word file is a working document: it reflows. Open a DOCX on a computer that does not have your font, or in a different version of Word, and the line breaks shift, a table spills onto the next page and the CV you carefully fitted onto one sheet becomes two. Converting to PDF freezes the document exactly as you designed it — which is why CVs, invoices, contracts, reports and coursework are almost always sent as PDFs.

Upload your DOC or DOCX and the converter renders the document with the fonts embedded, so headings, spacing, tables, page breaks, headers and footers survive intact. The recipient does not need your fonts, your template or even Microsoft Word — a PDF opens in any browser and prints identically from any machine. It is also harder to modify by accident, which is exactly what you want for anything you are sending out for signature.

The tool is free, requires no account and adds no watermark to the pages. There is no daily quota, so you can convert a whole folder of documents one after another. If the finished PDF turns out too heavy for an email attachment — usually because the document contains large photographs — run it through the Compress PDF tool afterwards. And if you later need to edit the text again, PDF to Word converts it straight back.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a Word document to PDF?

Upload your DOC or DOCX file on this page and wait a few seconds — the finished PDF is offered for download as soon as the conversion completes. No account and no software needed.

Do DOC and DOCX both work?

Yes. The converter accepts the classic DOC format as well as modern DOCX files produced by Word, LibreOffice Writer and Google Docs.

Will my fonts and layout be preserved?

Yes. Fonts are embedded in the PDF and the layout is rendered as it appears in your document, so headings, tables, page breaks, headers and footers stay exactly where you put them.

Will the PDF be editable?

A PDF is meant to be final, so the text is not meant to be rewritten in a reader. If you need to change something later, convert the file back with the PDF to Word tool, edit it and convert it to PDF again.

Is there a size limit?

One document can be up to 100 MB and there is no limit on how many files you convert per day. The service is free and adds no watermark.

What if the PDF is too large to email?

That usually means the document contains high-resolution photographs. Run the finished file through the Compress PDF tool to reduce its size while keeping the text sharp.
