How to convert Word to PDF

To convert Word to PDF, add your document above and press Convert to PDF. The file is turned into a PDF that looks exactly like your Word document — same fonts, tables, images, headers and spacing — and you download it in a few seconds.

This Word to PDF converter handles .docx, .doc, .rtf, .odt and .txt files. You can convert one document, convert many at once, or merge several Word files into a single PDF, all on this one page.

  1. 1

    Add your Word file

    Drop your .docx on the box, choose it from your device, or paste it with Ctrl+V. Add several files if you want to convert or merge a batch.

  2. 2

    Choose separate or merged

    With one file there is nothing to pick. With several, choose a PDF for each file, or one merged PDF in the order you set.

  3. 3

    Convert to PDF

    Press Convert to PDF, or Ctrl+Enter. A progress bar shows each document as it is converted on our server.

  4. 4

    Preview and download

    Download the PDF, or open Preview to check it first. For a batch, download every PDF together as a ZIP.

Word to PDF without losing formatting

The most important thing in a Word to PDF conversion is that the PDF looks like the original. This converter keeps your formatting: the same fonts, font sizes, bold and colour, headings, bullet and numbered lists, tables, images, page breaks, headers and footers, and margins.

It does this by rendering the document the way Microsoft Word and LibreOffice do, rather than guessing at the layout. A three-column newsletter, a CV with a photo, an invoice with a table, or a contract with numbered clauses all come out looking the same as they do on screen.

Because the PDF is a faithful picture of the document, it prints the same on every computer and cannot be reflowed or accidentally changed by the reader — which is exactly why people convert Word to PDF before sending or printing.

Fonts are embedded in the PDF, so even an unusual font shows correctly for someone who does not have it installed. That is the main reason a Word file can look different on another computer but its PDF does not.

Convert docx, doc, RTF, ODT and TXT

A .docx file is the modern Word format, used by Word 2007 and later, Google Docs and LibreOffice. Converting docx to PDF here keeps everything the format can hold: styles, tables, embedded images, shapes, hyperlinks and comments-free clean output.

A doc to PDF conversion works just as well for older Word 97 to 2003 files, as do .rtf, .odt from OpenOffice and LibreOffice, and plain .txt. Whatever the input, the result is a standard PDF that opens in any PDF reader, browser or phone.

If you need the reverse — turning a PDF back into an editable Word file — use the PDF to Word tool instead. This page only goes from Word to PDF.

Free, no sign-up, no watermark

This is a free Word to PDF converter with no sign-up, no email and no watermark. The PDF contains only your document; nothing is stamped across the page, and there is no account to create.

There is no daily limit and no cap on how many files you convert. Each file can be up to 50 MB, and you can convert up to 50 documents in one batch, which covers everything from a single letter to a folder full of reports.

It works the same on a computer and a phone, in any modern browser, with nothing to install.

Convert many Word files to PDF at once

You can convert many Word files to PDF at once. Add them all, keep the default Separate PDFs, and press Convert; each document becomes its own PDF and they download together as a single ZIP file.

This saves a lot of time when you have a set of documents — a batch of certificates, letters or invoices — that each need to become a PDF. The file names are kept, so report.docx becomes report.pdf.

Merge Word files into one PDF

You can also merge several Word files into one PDF. Add the files, choose One merged PDF, drag them into the order you want, and the converter joins them into a single document — for example a cover letter, a CV and a list of references as one file to upload.

Each Word file keeps its own formatting inside the merged PDF. If you only need to join PDFs you already have, the Merge PDF tool does that directly.

High quality: sharp text and clickable links

A Word to PDF conversion should not lose quality, and here it does not. Text stays as sharp, selectable text — not a picture — so it can be searched, copied and read aloud, and it prints crisply at any size.

Images keep their original resolution, and vector shapes and charts stay as clean vectors. The PDF is created at full quality; if you later need a smaller file for an upload limit, run it through Compress PDF.

Hyperlinks in the document stay clickable in the PDF, and the heading structure is kept so long documents can show an outline in the PDF reader.

Hindi and Unicode documents

Documents in Hindi and other Indian languages convert correctly. Unicode text in Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Gujarati and more is rendered with the right fonts, so a Hindi letter or form comes out readable in the PDF rather than as boxes or question marks.

This matters for government forms, application letters and school documents that mix Hindi and English. Both scripts stay correct on the same line, and the fonts are embedded so the PDF reads the same on any device.

When people convert Word to PDF

People do this for a few everyday reasons.

Sending a document that must not change

A PDF looks the same for everyone and cannot be reflowed or edited by accident. Convert a CV, offer letter or report to PDF before emailing it, so it arrives exactly as you designed it.

Uploading to a job or exam portal

Most portals accept PDF, not Word, and often set a size limit. Convert here, then shrink the file with Compress PDF to 1 MB if needed.

Printing

A PDF prints identically on any printer and computer, with the margins and page breaks you set, so there are no surprises at the print shop.

Combining several documents

Merge a cover letter, CV and certificates into one PDF so the reader opens a single, ordered file instead of three separate ones.

Archiving

PDF is a long-term format that will open in decades to come, which makes it the right choice for records, contracts and signed documents.

Tips for common documents

Different documents have small things worth checking when you turn them into a PDF.

CV and resume

A CV often uses a specific font and careful spacing. Converting to PDF locks that layout so it reaches the employer exactly as designed, and the font is embedded so it looks right on their screen. Keep it to one or two pages and check the preview before sending.

Cover letter and job bundle

Employers usually want one PDF. Convert the letter, or merge the letter, CV and certificates into a single PDF in the right order, then upload that one file.

Invoice and quotation

Invoices have tables and totals that must line up. The table, borders and numbers are kept exactly, and the PDF cannot be altered by the client, which is important for a financial document.

Official letter or application

Government and school applications are often written in Word, sometimes in Hindi. Converting to PDF keeps the letterhead, signature line and language correct, ready to print or upload.

Report and project document

Long reports keep their headings, page numbers, table of contents and images. The PDF shows an outline from the headings, so a reader can jump between sections.

Certificate and form

A certificate or form made in Word converts to a fixed PDF that prints identically everywhere, with no risk of the layout shifting on another computer.

Convert Word to PDF on your phone

To convert Word to PDF on a phone, open this page in your browser, tap Select Word files and pick the document from your files, Google Drive or an email attachment. Tap Convert to PDF and then Download.

It works on Android and iPhone with nothing to install, and the PDF is saved to your downloads, ready to attach, print or upload to a portal.

An online converter for any device

This is an online Word to PDF converter, which means there is nothing to download or install and it works on any operating system — Windows, Mac, Linux, Android or iPhone — through the browser.

An online tool is handy on a device where you cannot install software, such as a shared or office computer, or a phone. The trade-off is that the file is converted on our server rather than on your own machine; it is sent securely and deleted straight after, as described above.

If you have Microsoft Word installed, you can also save a PDF directly from it with File, Save As, PDF. This tool is for the many times when that is not convenient, or when you want to convert or merge several files at once.

How the conversion works

  1. 1

    Your file is received securely

    The Word document is uploaded over an encrypted connection to our converter, which runs the same layout engine as a desktop office suite.

  2. 2

    It is rendered, not guessed

    The document is laid out page by page exactly as Word would show it, so fonts, tables, images and spacing are preserved rather than approximated.

  3. 3

    Fonts are embedded

    The fonts used in the document are built into the PDF, so it looks identical on any device, even without those fonts installed.

  4. 4

    You get a standard PDF

    The result is an ordinary PDF — selectable text, clickable links, a heading outline — that opens anywhere, and your original file is deleted.

Tips for the best Word to PDF result

Use common fonts if the exact look is critical. A font that is widely available converts most faithfully; an unusual font is embedded, but embedding only works if the font allows it.

Set your page size and margins in Word before converting. The PDF uses the document's own page setup, so get it right once and it carries over.

For a mixed bundle, decide on order first. In merge mode you can drag the files into the order you want before converting, which is easier than rearranging a PDF later.

Keep the Word file as your editable master. The PDF is for sharing and printing; when you need changes, edit the Word document and convert again.

Word to PDF vs PDF to Word

Word to PDF and PDF to Word are opposite jobs, and it helps to know which one you need. Word to PDF, this tool, takes an editable Word document and makes a fixed PDF for sharing, printing or uploading. It keeps the look exactly and is quick and reliable.

PDF to Word does the reverse: it takes a PDF and tries to rebuild an editable Word file from it. That is a harder, best-effort job, because a PDF does not store the document structure the way Word does. Use it when you have only a PDF and need to edit the text.

A simple rule: if you made the document in Word and want to send or print it, convert Word to PDF. If someone sent you a PDF and you need to change it, use PDF to Word.

Excel and PowerPoint to PDF too

Word is part of a family of office documents, and the same converter handles the others. Excel spreadsheets become PDF with their tables and formatting using Excel to PDF, and PowerPoint slides become PDF, one slide per page, using PowerPoint to PDF.

If you have a mix — a Word report, an Excel sheet and a few PDFs — convert the Office files to PDF first, then join everything with Merge PDF into one document.

After you have the PDF

Once your document is a PDF, the other tools on the site carry on from there. Compress PDF makes it smaller for an email or a portal with a size limit. Merge PDF joins it with other PDFs into one file. Split PDF or Delete pages trim it down.

If you ever need to go back to an editable document, PDF to Word rebuilds a Word file from the PDF. And if the PDF must be protected, you can add a password before sending it.

Is it safe? What happens to your file

Converting a Word document needs a real rendering engine, so the file is sent to our server rather than processed in the browser. It travels over an encrypted HTTPS connection, is converted straight away, and is deleted as soon as you download the PDF — and automatically within 15 minutes if you do not.

There is no account, no email and no watermark, and nothing is kept or shared. For sensitive documents this means your file exists on the server only for the few seconds it takes to convert.

Common problems and fixes

The fonts look different in the PDF

This happens when the document uses a font the server does not have, so a close substitute is used. Use a common font, or embed the font in the Word file before converting.

My file is larger than 50 MB

Very large Word files are usually full of high-resolution images. Compress the images in Word first, or split the document, then convert.

The document is password-protected

Remove the password in Word (File, Info, Protect Document) and save a copy, then convert that copy.

I need the PDF under a size limit

Convert to PDF here, then use Compress PDF to 1 MB or another size for the upload.

It is a .pages or Google Doc

Export it as .docx first (Apple Pages: File, Export; Google Docs: File, Download, .docx), then convert that file here.
