Word to PDF
Convert a .docx Word document — text, headings, lists and embedded images — into a shareable PDF, entirely in your browser.
What is the Word to PDF?
The Word to PDF tool converts .docx documents into shareable PDF files. Paragraphs, headings, lists and inline images are preserved so the resulting PDF closely matches the original layout — perfect for sending applications, invoices and reports to recipients who want a locked-down file.
PDF is the safest format for sharing documents. It renders identically on every device, cannot be edited casually, and is accepted by every job portal and government form. Converting your Word draft to PDF is often the final step before submitting.
The conversion runs inside your browser using mammoth (to parse .docx) and pdf-lib (to render the PDF, including any embedded PNG or JPG pictures). No file is ever uploaded to a server, which is important for personal letters, resumes and confidential business docs.

Frequently asked questions
Are images preserved?
Yes — PNG and JPG images embedded in the .docx are rendered into the PDF at the correct aspect ratio. Rarer picture formats (WMF/EMF, SVG, WebP) are skipped with a warning.
What page size does it produce?
A4 by default. Add support for other sizes on request.
Does it accept .doc files?
Only the newer .docx format. Save your .doc as .docx in Word first.
Is my document uploaded?
No — mammoth and pdf-lib both run inside your browser.
What if my formatting looks off?
Simplify the source document (remove complex tables, unusual fonts) and try again — the tool prioritises readability over pixel-perfect reproduction.
