Turn a Word document into a PDF.
Keeps your document's layout, fonts, lines, and links in a real PDF — processed entirely in your browser.
.docx only, max 25MB. Keeps the layout, fonts embedded in the document, text sizes, bold and italic, lines and borders, bullet lists, tables, images, and links.

How This Tool Works
Your .docx file is read entirely on your own device. The open-source docx-preview library lays the document out the way Word does — page size and margins, fonts embedded in the file, text sizes, bold and italic, small caps, centered and tabbed lines, paragraph borders and lines, bullet and numbered lists, tables, and images — inside a hidden frame in your browser tab. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
In Editable text mode, every word is then written into the PDF with jsPDF at exactly the position it was laid out, along with the lines, borders, images, and clickable links, so the PDF looks like the document and its text can still be selected, copied, and searched. Fonts embedded in the .docx are embedded in the PDF too; for fonts that aren't, a close standard font is used. Exact look mode instead saves each page as a picture — pixel-identical to the layout, but the text isn't selectable.
When This Works Best
- Letters, reports, articles, and designed documents like resumes.
- Only .docx is supported (the modern Word format), not the older .doc format.
- Documents with very complex layouts (floating text boxes, shapes, multi-column magazine-style pages) may not lay out exactly as in Word — check the result, or try Exact look.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my document uploaded anywhere?
No — the entire conversion happens in your browser using docx-preview and jsPDF. The file never leaves your device.
Will tables, images, and exact formatting carry over?
Yes, for most documents: page size and margins, text sizes, bold and italic, alignment, lines and borders, bullet and numbered lists, tables, images, and links all carry over. Fonts embedded in the .docx are used in the PDF; a font that isn't embedded is replaced with a similar standard font, so its exact shape may differ slightly. Very complex layouts such as floating text boxes and shapes may not match Word exactly.
What's the difference between Editable text and Exact look?
Editable text writes real text into the PDF, so it can be selected, copied, and searched, and links stay clickable — the right choice for almost every document. Exact look turns each page into a picture: it matches the layout pixel-for-pixel, including fonts that couldn't be embedded, but the text can't be selected and the file is larger.
Why doesn't it accept my .doc file?
Only the modern .docx format is supported. The older .doc format uses a completely different, more complex binary structure that this tool doesn't parse.
Is there a file size limit?
Files over 25MB aren't supported, to keep the conversion running smoothly entirely in your browser tab.
