Word to PDF
Convert a .docx Word document — text, headings, lists and embedded images — into a shareable PDF, entirely in your browser.
About Word to PDF
The Word to PDF tool converts .docx documents into PDFs, preserving paragraphs, headings, lists and inline PNG/JPG images with automatic A4 pagination. The result renders identically on every device — ideal for resumes, invoices and submissions.
The converter reads the semantic structure of the DOCX and lays supported content onto new A4 pages. It prioritizes a clean, readable export rather than reproducing Word’s complete layout engine, so simple documents convert more reliably than files built with floating objects, unusual fonts or complex tables.
Conversion runs in your browser using mammoth to parse the .docx and pdf-lib to render the PDF, so personal and business documents are never uploaded. Downloading creates a separate PDF and does not modify the original Word file.
How Word to PDF works in practice
- 1Drop your .docx file onto the upload area.
- 2Click "Convert to PDF" — the document is laid out onto A4 pages.
- 3Download the PDF and confirm the layout looks right.
Jobs this tool is built for
- Export a simple résumé or cover letter to a format recipients cannot accidentally edit.
- Create a consistent A4 PDF from meeting notes, instructions or a short report.
- Turn a DOCX invoice or submission into a portable attachment after checking its layout.
- Convert a document on a shared device without uploading it to a third-party service.
What you can do here
- Preserves paragraphs, headings and lists
- Embeds inline PNG and JPG images at the correct aspect ratio

- Works with .docx from Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice or Pages
Limits and honest caveats
- Only the newer .docx format is accepted — save .doc files as .docx first.
- Rare picture formats inside the document (WMF/EMF, SVG, WebP) are skipped with a warning.
- The output prioritises readability over pixel-perfect reproduction; complex tables and unusual fonts are simplified.
Common questions about Word to PDF
What page size does it produce?
A4 by default.
What if my formatting looks off?
Simplify the source document (remove complex tables and unusual fonts) and convert again.
Can it convert the older .doc format?
No. Open the file in Word or another compatible editor and save it as .docx before uploading.
Are headers, footers and advanced Word layouts preserved?
Not reliably. The converter focuses on paragraphs, headings, lists and supported inline images. Review the PDF whenever the source uses advanced layout features.
