Word to PDF Converter

How conversion works

This tool uses two open-source libraries — Mammoth.js to read the structure of your .docx file, and html2pdf to render the result into a PDF. Everything runs in your browser, so the file never leaves your device. Headings, paragraphs, lists, basic tables, bold and italic text, and inline images all carry over reliably.

Some formatting can't be perfectly preserved without server-side software like Microsoft Word or LibreOffice — exact fonts, custom page breaks, headers and footers, and complex multi-column layouts may shift slightly. For most CVs, letters, articles, and reports the result is indistinguishable from the original.

How to convert

1. Drop your .docx file into the upload box.
2. Pick the page size and margin you want.
3. Click Convert to PDF and download the result.

How Word-to-PDF conversion works

This tool reads your Word (.docx) file using the Mammoth.js library, extracts the content with formatting preserved (paragraphs, headings, lists, basic styling), and renders it as a PDF using html2pdf. All conversion happens in your browser — no upload to a server. Files in older .doc format must be saved as .docx first using any modern word processor.

When to convert Word to PDF

• Submitting a resume or cover letter where the recipient may not have Word installed
• Final-version contracts and agreements where you don't want recipients to be able to edit
• Archival of documents that should not be modified after creation
• Government and exam application submissions that require PDF format
• Creating a print-ready version of a document with consistent layout

What is preserved during conversion

Paragraph text, bold and italic formatting, headings, bullet and numbered lists, basic table structure, and embedded images are preserved. Page breaks are inserted automatically based on content length. What may not be preserved exactly: complex tables with merged cells, custom fonts not embedded in the document, page headers and footers (depending on docx structure), track-changes annotations, and form fields. For maximum fidelity in professional output, use Microsoft Word's built-in "Save as PDF" — it produces a more accurate result than any third-party tool.

Disclaimer

For legal, contractual, or other documents where exact visual fidelity matters, use Microsoft Word or Google Docs' built-in PDF export. This tool is best for casual conversions where general structure preservation is sufficient. Always preview the output before sharing or submitting.
