Convert Word to PDF

Turn a Word document (.docx) into a PDF in seconds. Headings, bold and italic, lists, tables and pictures are kept.

How do I convert a Word document to PDF?

Add a .docx file and it's converted straight away. The text of every paragraph is laid out on A4 pages with headings in larger type, bold, italic and underlined words kept, bulleted and numbered lists, tables with borders, and the pictures from the document. Page breaks you put in Word are kept too. The PDF opens on every phone and computer, and the text stays selectable and searchable.

Fonts are replaced with Helvetica, so long documents may break onto pages a little differently from Word. Letters that Helvetica doesn't have, such as Bengali, Greek or Chinese, are drawn with your device's fonts, so every language shows correctly. Older .doc files need to be saved as .docx first. Everything happens in your browser, so your documents are never uploaded.
