Convert Word (DOCX) to PDF
Convert a Word document (.docx) to PDF directly in your browser, preserving headings, paragraphs, lists and bold/italic.
or click to select it
Reads the DOCX's content (headings, paragraphs, lists, bold/italic and manual line breaks) and draws it into a paginated PDF. It does not preserve the original layout, columns, tables, images or fonts -- it converts the content into a readable PDF, not a visual replica of the document. Characters outside the basic Latin alphabet (emoji, Chinese, Arabic, Cyrillic, Hindi...) may appear as "?".
Use cases

Technical details
- It doesn't copy Word's layout: it reflows the text onto A4 pages with roughly 2 cm margins, 11-point Helvetica and 20, 16 and 13.5-point headings. Headings, paragraphs, lists, bold, italic and manual line breaks are kept.
- The PDF contains real text you can select and search. Images, headers and footers and the original fonts are not carried over; tables come out cell by cell as paragraphs.
- Standard Helvetica only covers the Western European Latin alphabet (Windows-1252): letters such as ł, ő or ć, Cyrillic, Greek or emoji appear as "?".
- If you need a faithful copy of the layout, export to PDF from Word or LibreOffice. Limit: 20 MB per document.
