Frequently asked questions

How do I convert Word to PDF for free?

Drop your .docx in above and click Convert to PDF. The PDF downloads straight away, free, with no sign-up and no watermark.

Does it keep my formatting?

It keeps your text, headings and paragraph flow. For pixel-exact fidelity of complex layouts, tables and images, the Core PDF and Core Type desktop apps go further.

Is my document private?

Yes. The conversion happens in your browser, so your .docx is never sent to a server.

Which Word files are supported?

Modern Word .docx files. Older .doc files should be saved as .docx first in Word or a compatible editor.
