Turn a Word document into a PDF.
Extracts the text from a .docx file and lays it out as a real PDF — processed entirely in your browser.
.docx only, max 25MB. Keeps headings, bold text, and bullet lists. Multi-column layouts, images, and exact fonts won't carry over; tables become plain rows.

Processed entirely on your device — nothing is uploaded
How This Tool Works
Your .docx file is read entirely on your own device using mammoth, an open-source library that extracts a document's headings, bold/italic text, and lists directly from the file, no upload required. That structure is then laid out as a real PDF — headings sized and bolded, list items bulleted — using jsPDF, also running locally in your browser tab.
This is a structure-aware text conversion, not a pixel-perfect layout copy. It's genuinely reliable for standard text documents: letters, reports, articles, resumes. Multi-column layouts, embedded images, and exact fonts from the original Word document won't carry over, and tables are flattened into plain rows rather than a real grid, since faithfully reproducing Word's full layout engine in the browser is a much harder problem than extracting readable, correctly-formatted text.
When This Works Best
- Standard text documents: letters, reports, articles, plain-formatted content.
- Only .docx is supported (the modern Word format), not the older .doc format.
- Documents where you mainly need the words in a PDF, not an exact visual copy of the original Word layout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my document uploaded anywhere?
No — the entire conversion happens in your browser using mammoth and jsPDF. The file never leaves your device.
Will tables, images, and exact formatting carry over?
Headings, bold/italic text, and bullet or numbered lists are preserved. Tables come through as plain rows rather than a real grid, and embedded images, multi-column layouts, and custom fonts from the original document won't appear in the resulting PDF.
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.
