Why convert Word to PDF?
To convert Word (DOCX) files to PDF, drop them on the counter above. A Word document can look different in another program, and anyone can change it. PDF fixes fonts and page layout, so the document looks the same on every device and is hard to alter.
Most files convert in seconds: no queue, no email address, and the PDF result saves straight to your computer or phone.

About the formats
DOCX
Microsoft Word (Office Open XML)
DOCX is the document format Microsoft Word has used since 2007. It holds headings, tables, images and formatting, and Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages open it too.
Portable Document Format
PDF makes a document look exactly the same on every device. It fixes fonts, images and page layout in place and is the shared language of official letters, invoices and applications.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting Word to PDF free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark and no queue.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works on iPhone, iPad and Android, with no app to install.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no size limit set by us. Files of hundreds of MB convert too; very large files take longer and are handled more comfortably on a computer than on a phone.
