How do I convert a Word document to PDF?

Choose your .docx or .doc file and select Convert to PDF. The document is converted on our server with LibreOffice, keeping its formatting, and deleted as soon as the PDF is sent back.

or drag and drop it here

Processed on our server over an encrypted connection, then deleted as soon as the result is sent back.

How to use Word to PDF

  1. Choose or drop your Word file (.docx or .doc).
  2. Select Convert to PDF.
  3. Download the PDF.

Formatting and fonts

Headings, tables, headers and footers, images and page breaks are kept. If your document uses a font our server does not have, a close match is used instead — common fonts such as Calibri, Arial and Times New Roman have matching substitutes, so line breaks rarely change.

Conversion runs on our server in a temporary folder that is deleted when the request ends. Files up to 50 MB are accepted.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with old .doc files?

Yes. Both .docx and the older .doc format are accepted.

Will my fonts change?

Common fonts are matched closely. An unusual font may be replaced with a similar one; if that matters, export the PDF from Word itself.

Is my document kept?

No. It is deleted from our server as soon as the PDF is sent back.
