How to Convert Word to PDF

Add your documents. Drop one or up to 20 Word files (DOCX, DOC, ODT or RTF) into the box, or browse for them.

Choose the output. Keep one PDF per document, or merge them all into one PDF in the order you set.

Fine-tune if you like. Optionally pick pages, paper size, grayscale, image compression, a watermark or PDF/A.

Convert and download. Press Convert to PDF, check the page count and size, then download each PDF or a ZIP.

No document handy? Press Try a sample document to see the whole thing work in a few seconds.

Why Send a PDF Instead of a Word File?

A PDF looks the same on every phone, laptop and printer.

Layout stays put

No shifted tables, missing fonts or "Compatibility Mode" surprises. What you see is what they get.

Opens anywhere

Every browser can show a PDF - nobody needs Word to read your CV, invoice or report.

Harder to edit

Good for contracts and final versions. Add a DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL watermark to make the status obvious.

Supported Formats

All four formats go through the same LibreOffice engine, so the result is just as faithful.

Format	Made by	Notes
DOCX	Word 2007 and newer, Google Docs export	Best results - the modern Word format
DOC	Word 97-2003	Older files work fine; password-protected ones do not
ODT	LibreOffice, OpenOffice	Converted natively, no format guessing
RTF	WordPad, TextEdit, older apps	Simple formatting, very reliable

Just want to read a document without converting it? Open it in the DOCX Viewer, the ODT Viewer or the RTF Viewer.

Tips for a Perfect PDF

Fonts: unusual fonts are replaced by a look-alike. Embed fonts in Word before saving if the exact typeface matters.

Many chapters? Keep Bookmarks from headings on - readers get a clickable table of contents in the PDF sidebar.

Big photos? Choose Balanced image compression for email-friendly files. Need it smaller still? Try Compress PDF.

Wrong order after merging? Use the arrows in the list before converting, or fix pages later with PDF Reorder.

Spreadsheets belong in Excel to PDF, and pictures in Image to PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions

Drop your DOCX, DOC, ODT or RTF file in the box and press Convert to PDF. The file is converted by LibreOffice on our server, so fonts, tables, images, headers and footers keep their places.

When it is ready you see the real page count and file size, and a preview of the first page.

For almost all documents, yes - text, tables, images, lists, page breaks, headers, footers and hyperlinks are kept. The one thing to watch is fonts: if your document uses a font we do not have, a metric-compatible font with the same spacing is used.

For a perfect match, embed fonts in Word before saving (File - Options - Save - Embed fonts in the file).

Yes. Add up to 20 documents, put them in the order you want with the arrow buttons, and choose Merge into one PDF. Each file is converted separately and the PDFs are joined in your browser.

Keep them separate instead and you get one PDF per document - three or more come as a single ZIP. Already have PDFs? Use Merge PDF.

Open Watermark, switch it on and type your text. Choose diagonal, centre, top or bottom, a colour and how see-through it should be. The text is stamped on every page of the PDF.

For an existing PDF, the PDF Watermark tool does the same.

PDF/A is the archive version of PDF. All fonts are embedded and nothing depends on outside resources, so the file opens the same way in 20 years. Courts, universities and tax offices often ask for it.

Switch on PDF/A-2b under Extras. It cannot be combined with a watermark, grayscale, page range or image compression, because those change the file after it was made.

Yes. Pages keeps just a range such as 2 to 5. Image compression shrinks the pictures inside the PDF to 150 or 96 DPI - text stays sharp. If a document has no big pictures, we keep the original file because it is already the smallest.

For more savings later, run the PDF through Compress PDF or turn it black and white with PDF to Grayscale.

Your document is uploaded over HTTPS, converted, and the original upload is deleted straight away. The finished PDF is deleted as soon as your browser has downloaded it - and anything left behind is removed automatically within 4 hours.

We never look at, share or keep your files.

The most common reasons are a password-protected document, a damaged file or a file that is not really a Word document (for example a renamed PDF). Open it in Word, remove any password, save it again and retry.
