Word to PDF
Open a Word document and save it as a PDF using your browser's own print dialog - the file never leaves your device.
How this converter works
Drop a .docx file in and it is rendered right here in the page, laid out into pages the way a word processor would. There is no upload: the document is opened in your browser's memory and drawn onto the screen. When you are happy with the preview, press Save as PDF. That opens your browser's print dialog with the page furniture hidden, leaving only the document. Choose Save as PDF as the destination (on Windows it may read "Microsoft Print to PDF"), pick a location, and the browser writes the PDF for you. Because the browser is doing the PDF writing, the file stays entirely on your device.
What renders well, and what does not
Plain letters, reports, essays and CVs come out looking very close to the original. Headings, bold and italic text, lists, images and straightforward tables are all handled. Complex Word layouts render approximately: multi-column pages, floating text boxes, some nested tables, and fonts you do not have installed may shift slightly. If exact fidelity matters, printing to PDF straight from Word gives the truest result. This tool is aimed at quick, private conversions where you do not want to send a document to a stranger's server.
Why .docx and not .doc
The .docx format is really a zip of XML files, which a browser can read. The older .doc format is an opaque binary format from a different era and cannot be parsed reliably in the browser. If you have a .doc, open it in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs and re-save it as .docx, then convert it here.

Working the other way, PDF to Word pulls text out of a PDF. Once you have a PDF you can merge it with others, split it, or compress it to shrink the file. To turn a page into an image instead, use PDF to JPG.
