Convert Word documents to PDF
PDF is the standard for sharing finished documents: it looks the same on every device, can't be accidentally edited, and is required by most job portals, universities, courts and government services. Word to PDF converts DOC and DOCX files into clean PDFs that keep your formatting.
Supported formats
| Format | Extension |
|---|---|
| Microsoft Word 2007+ | .docx |
| Microsoft Word 97–2003 | .doc |
| OpenDocument Text | .odt |
| Rich Text Format | .rtf |
| Plain text | .txt |
Why convert Word to PDF?
- Consistent appearance: fonts and layout don't shift between computers, phones or Word versions.
- Professional submissions: CVs, proposals, invoices and assignments are expected as PDF.
- Smaller attachments: PDFs are often smaller than DOCX files with images.
- Harder to edit: recipients can read and print but not easily change the content.
- Long-term archiving: PDF is a stable, widely supported format.
Tips for perfect conversions
- Use common fonts (Calibri, Arial, Times New Roman, Georgia) or embed fonts in Word: File → Options → Save → Embed fonts in the file.
- Accept tracked changes and delete comments before converting, unless you want them visible.
- Check page breaks in Word's Print Layout view.
- Compress large images in Word (Picture Format → Compress Pictures) for a smaller PDF.
Privacy and security
Word documents can't be converted reliably in a browser, so this tool uses LibreOffice on our server. Each upload is processed in an isolated temporary directory and deleted immediately after conversion. Nothing is stored, logged or shared.
