DOCX to PDF

Convert DOCX to PDF online and for free, without an account. Add your file, pick the format to convert to and save the result. Nothing is uploaded: the conversion runs in your browser.

How to convert DOCX to PDF

  1. 1Drop your DOCX file in, or click to choose it
  2. 2Check that the format to convert to is PDF
  3. 3Start the conversion and save the PDF file
  4. Your file as PDF, saved on your device.

What happens to your files

  • Nothing is uploaded.Your DOCX file is read and converted by your browser, on your own device.
  • Free, no account.You do not sign up for anything and you install nothing.
  • No office suite needed.You need neither Word nor LibreOffice to convert DOCX to PDF.

What you can do

  • Convert DOCX to PDF and save the result as a file on your device.
  • Between Word, OpenDocument, Markdown, HTML and plain text, headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, bold and italic come across.
  • A PDF made from a Word file keeps the fonts, sizes, colors and spacing of the original, set in free fonts of the same width (Calibri, Cambria, Arial, Times, Courier).
  • Take the text out of a PDF and carry it into Word, Markdown, HTML or plain text.

Good to know

  • Word's format since 2007: a ZIP of XML files. Headings, lists, tables, bold and italic are read from it; pictures are not carried over.
  • Made for fixed pages that look the same everywhere. Taking text out of a PDF gives its words without the layout; a scanned PDF holds only images and has no text.
  • Pictures do not come across when you convert between document formats. Headers and footers are not carried over to PDF yet.
  • When you convert a PDF to a text format, only its text comes across. A scanned page has no text, so the converter tells you there is nothing to take over.
  • The page has no upload, so there is nothing to delete afterwards.
