Word to PDF

Convert a .docx Word document to a PDF with real, selectable text.

A Word Document As A Clean, Searchable PDF

Drop in a .docx file and it is read directly in your browser — headings, paragraphs, bold, italic and underline, links, bulleted and numbered lists, tables and pictures — and shown in a preview. Download it as a PDF made of real text that can be searched, selected and copied, or as a standalone HTML file.

Nothing is uploaded, which makes it safe for contracts, CVs and anything confidential. The PDF is laid out as a clean single column with your choice of page size, font and text size; it is a faithful copy of the content rather than a pixel copy of Word’s layout, so columns, text boxes, headers and footers are not reproduced.

Key features

  • Real text PDF — searchable and selectable.
  • Headings, lists, tables, links and images kept.
  • Preview before you download.
  • HTML and plain-text export too.

This tool runs entirely inside your browser using native Web APIs. Your files and text are never uploaded to a server, never logged and never shared with third parties.

Frequently asked questions

Will the PDF look exactly like my Word document?

The content will be the same, but the layout is simplified to one clean column. Page setup, columns, text boxes, headers, footers and custom fonts are not reproduced. For an exact copy of a complex layout, use Word’s own “Save as PDF”.

Is my document uploaded to a server?

No. The .docx is unzipped and converted by JavaScript in your browser. That is why this is safe for confidential files.

Can it convert .doc files?

No — .doc is Word’s older binary format. Open it in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs and save it as .docx first.

Are images included?

Yes: PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP and WebP pictures are placed in the PDF. Vector drawings, charts and equations are left out and reported.

Is the text selectable in the PDF?

Yes. The PDF uses real text in standard fonts, so it can be searched, copied and read by screen readers — unlike converters that produce an image of each page.
