Convert a Word document to PDF

Open your .docx file, check how it looks, and save it as a PDF. The conversion happens in your browser using your device's print-to-PDF.

Open a DOCX to convert

How it works

  1. Choose your .docx file.
  2. Review it, and make any last edits.
  3. Choose Print / Save as PDF, and pick Save as PDF as the destination.

What you get

Selectable text

PDF output from print keeps text selectable and searchable.

Page setup

Choose paper size and margins in the editor.

Private

Your file is not uploaded.

How the PDF is made

WorkFlo renders your document and hands it to your browser's print dialog, where you choose Save as PDF. Because the browser creates the PDF, results are consistent with what you see on screen.

Layout may differ from the original Word rendering, particularly for documents with complex tables, text boxes or unusual fonts. Preview before sending.

When to use a desktop app instead

For print-ready output with exact pagination, embedded fonts or accessibility tagging, export from the app that created the file.

Limitations

We would rather you know before you start. These are the things this tool does not do or may not preserve:

  • Page breaks may differ from the original.
  • Header and footer text is best-effort in Print / PDF and may be missing on the first or last page. Page numbers are not drawn in Print / PDF; use your browser's print-dialog headers and footers option.
  • Fonts not on your device are substituted.

Questions

Is the converted PDF identical to Word's?

Not guaranteed. Simple documents convert closely. Complex layouts may differ.

Is there a size limit?

25 MB per file.

Is it free?

Yes.
