Word to PDF exactly as it would print

Drop a Word document and get a PDF that looks exactly like it would print, layout, fonts and formatting kept intact.

As a word to pdf converter it keeps your images and page breaks exactly where Word put them; a font that only lives on your own computer gets swapped for the closest match we have.

Your file is deleted the moment it's done. The big PDF sites keep your bank statements and IDs on their servers. Here the original goes right after processing, the result after 45 minutes.

Real layout, not a text dump

The file is opened by a real office engine and printed to PDF: the same thing your own word processor does under File > Export as PDF, so paragraphs, headings, tables, images and page breaks come out where you put them, not flattened into plain text.

One honest limit: a font that only exists on your computer isn't installed on the server, so it gets substituted with a close match. Everyday fonts (the ones Word and LibreOffice ship with) convert exactly; an unusual purchased font might shift slightly.

Which files convert

Four formats go in:

  • .docx, Word 2007 and newer
  • .doc, older Word (97-2003)
  • .odt, LibreOffice / OpenOffice Writer
  • .rtf, Rich Text Format

Up to 250 MB per file.

That covers big Word documents too: a large .docx or .odt full of images converts to PDF the same way a one-page letter does, free and without a separate large-file plan.

Got a different kind of document? The same engine also handles Excel to PDF and PowerPoint to PDF, a deck comes out as one page per slide, with the text still selectable.

What happens to your file

Your Word file is uploaded, converted and deleted from the server right away; the PDF it becomes stays available for up to 45 minutes so you can download it, then it's deleted automatically.

There is no account, no watermark and no daily cap. Everything runs on our own servers; the ads on the page keep them online. Your original upload is deleted the moment processing finishes, the cleaned result stays available for up to 45 minutes so you can download it and is then deleted automatically, and nothing is ever sold, shared or used to train AI.

Common questions

How do I convert a Word document to PDF for free?

Drop it in above. A download link for the PDF appears a few seconds later, with no account, no watermark and no cap. That is how to convert Word to PDF on any device, and how to turn a Word doc into a PDF without opening Word.

Which file types can I convert?

.docx (Word 2007 and newer), .doc (older Word), .odt (LibreOffice/OpenOffice Writer) and .rtf, so an RTF file from any editor works too.

Will my formatting stay the same?

Layout, fonts, tables and images convert as a real office engine renders them. Everyday fonts match exactly; a font that only exists on your own computer gets substituted with a close equivalent, since it isn't installed on the server.

Is there a file size limit?

Up to 250 MB per file (500 MB with the pass), so a big, image-heavy .docx converts the same way as a short one.

Does it work with password-protected documents?

No. Remove the password in Word or LibreOffice first, then convert the unlocked copy.

How do I save a Word document as a PDF?

There is no Save as menu here: drop the file and the conversion happens on the server, so how to save a Word document as a PDF, or how to save a Word document as PDF from a phone, is one upload. How to save Word to PDF without Word installed works the same way. The result matches Word's own Save as PDF, because a real office engine opens the file and prints it.

Can I convert a Word document to PDF on a phone?

Yes. It runs in the browser, so you upload the .docx from your phone and download the PDF, with no app or desktop software needed.

Is there a convert Word to PDF online free converter without a daily limit?

This one: nothing is counted, so you can convert Word to PDF online free as often as you need and get each PDF online free of charge. A free conversion Word to PDF online here keeps headings, tables, page breaks and images where they sit in the .docx. It is a free converter with no watermark, and every PDF is deleted 45 minutes after the conversion.

Do I need Microsoft Word installed?

No. It works as a PDF creator on our server, which helps exactly when Microsoft Word isn't installed on the machine you're using. Every Word PDF conversion uses the same office engine.

Can I go the other direction, PDF to Word?

Yes: PDF to Word rebuilds a PDF's real text into an editable .docx. To convert PDF to Word you need that page, not this one. Can Microsoft Word convert PDF to Word documents itself? Word 2013 and later can open a PDF and convert it, so you can turn the PDF a colleague sent you back into an editable file either way; our converter is the browser route.

Can I turn a Word form into a fillable PDF?

Not directly. Convert the document to PDF here, then add text, checkbox or dropdown fields with Create PDF Form; that gives you a fillable PDF that works in any reader.

Can I combine Word documents into one PDF?

Not in one step. Convert each Word file to PDF here first, then combine them with Merge PDF, in whatever order you choose.

What happens to my file?

It's uploaded, converted and deleted from the server right away; the PDF is deleted automatically 45 minutes later.
