Convert a Word document (.docx) into a proper, readable A4 PDF.
All processing happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
How this tool works
Output is A4 with 20 mm margins, on as many pages as needed. Page breaks are placed between measured lines and table rows, and checked pixel by pixel, so no text line is cut in half. Headings, bold/italic, lists, tables and pictures are kept – including floating pictures, grouped figures, Word charts, SmartArt, EMF/WMF drawings and TIFF pictures (TIFF is decoded in your browser; JPEG 2000 and JPEG XR pictures only show where the browser supports them, otherwise a placeholder is shown) (floating pictures are placed on their own line instead of having text wrap around them; charts and SmartArt are redrawn from the data saved in the file, so styling may differ a little). Convert & Download makes each page a high‑resolution picture with an invisible text layer (English/Latin text can be searched and copied; other scripts look right but may not copy) – about 0.4–0.6 MB per page. Headers, footers, page numbers, comments, tracked changes, equations and 3D models are not reproduced, and fonts you don't have installed (e.g. Calibri on a Mac/phone) are replaced by a similar font, so line breaks can differ slightly from Word. Old .doc files are not supported; save as .docx first.

Tip: “Print / Save as PDF” uses your browser’s own PDF engine – sharper text, all languages selectable and a much smaller file. Pick “Save as PDF” as the printer.

How to convert Word to PDF in 3 steps
Select a Word file
Choose a .docx file (older .doc files are not supported — open them in Word or another editor and save as .docx first). The document is read in your browser; it is not uploaded.
Wait for the preview
The tool lays the document out on A4 pages with 20 mm margins. Headings, lists, tables and pictures are kept, including many charts, SmartArt, TIFF pictures and EMF/WMF drawings.
Download or print to PDF
Convert & Download saves a high-resolution PDF with an invisible text layer so English and Latin text can be searched. For sharper vector text, a smaller file and better support for other languages, use Print / Save as PDF and choose “Save as PDF” as the printer in your browser.
Why this stays private
Conversion never sends your Word file to a server. Layout, image decoding and PDF building all run in your browser. That is the point of this tool if the document holds a CV, a marked assignment, or a letter you would not want sitting in someone else’s upload folder.
Tips and limits
Output is A4. Line breaks can differ slightly from Word if a font in the file is not installed on your device (for example Calibri on some Macs or phones).
Floating pictures are placed on their own line rather than having text wrap around them. Charts and SmartArt are redrawn from the data in the file, so styling may differ a little.
Headers, footers, page numbers, comments, tracked changes, equations and 3D models are not reproduced.
JPEG 2000 and JPEG XR pictures only appear where the browser can decode them; otherwise a placeholder is shown. TIFF is decoded in the browser.
Convert & Download is about 0.4–0.6 MB per page. Print / Save as PDF is usually much smaller, and is the better choice for non-Latin scripts that need to be searchable.
Frequently asked questions
Is my Word file uploaded?
No. The .docx is opened and converted in your browser. We do not receive the document.
Why does Print / Save as PDF exist as well as Convert & Download?
Convert & Download is one click, with a searchable text layer for English and Latin. Print / Save as PDF uses your browser’s PDF engine: usually sharper text, all languages selectable, and a smaller file.
Can I convert an old .doc file?
Not directly. Save it as .docx first, then drop that file here.
Will my charts, SmartArt and TIFF pictures come through?
In most cases yes. They are rebuilt or decoded in the browser. Fine styling on charts and SmartArt may differ a little from Word.
Why does the layout differ slightly from Word?
Fonts you do not have installed are replaced with a similar font, and floating pictures are placed in line. That can change where lines wrap.
Are headers, footers and comments included?
No. Headers, footers, page numbers, comments, tracked changes, equations and 3D models are not reproduced in this version.
