DOCX to PDF Converter
Convert a Word DOCX to PDF in your browser. Useful for sending resumes, submitting forms, sharing documents that need to look identical on every device. The DOCX never leaves your browser — important when the document is sensitive (contracts, drafts, anything you wouldn't email to a stranger).

Sensitive documents stay private
Resumes, contracts, NDAs, legal drafts — these are the documents most people convert most often, and they're the ones you absolutely don't want uploaded to a stranger's server. Everything here happens in your browser. The converted file goes straight to your downloads.
-
DOCX → PDF done right
The output PDF has real, selectable, copyable text — not an image of your document. Headings, paragraphs, bullet/numbered lists, bold and italic formatting all transfer. The PDF uses Helvetica throughout, so it renders identically on every device. US Letter size, 1-inch margins.

Honest about what transfers
After a successful conversion, the tool lists anything that didn't transfer perfectly: unsupported images, custom Word styles, complex tables. You see exactly what to double-check. No claims that complex Word documents convert pixel-perfect — they don't, in any browser-based tool.
Frequently asked questions
Does my document ever leave my device?
No. The DOCX is parsed by a JavaScript library running in your browser tab; conversion happens entirely on your device. Open DevTools while you convert — the Network tab will show zero traffic carrying your document. This matters for resumes, contracts, legal drafts, and anything sensitive.
What kinds of DOCX content are preserved?
Headings, paragraphs, bullet and numbered lists, bold and italic text, and basic formatting transfer reliably. Tables transfer in a simplified form (rows kept, complex cell merging may flatten). Images are NOT included in v1 — if you need images preserved, save as PDF directly from Word for now. Custom fonts, colors, and exact pixel positioning from Word are not preserved by design — the output uses standard fonts so it renders identically on every device.
What about legacy .doc files (Word 97-2003)?
Legacy .doc files aren't supported — they use a different binary format that no browser-side library reads. If you have a .doc file, open it in Word, LibreOffice, or Google Docs and save as DOCX, then convert here.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. DOCX files are typically small (under 5 MB even with significant content), so memory isn't usually a concern. Very large DOCX files with hundreds of embedded objects might struggle on older phones.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes. Tap the drop zone to open your phone's file picker, pick a DOCX from your Files / Downloads / cloud apps, and the converted file downloads back to your device. iCloud and Google Drive both expose DOCX files through the picker.
What if my DOCX has content this tool can't handle?
The converter surfaces warnings after a successful conversion — you'll see a list of items that didn't transfer perfectly (unsupported image formats, custom Word styles, footnotes, etc.). The conversion still completes; you just know what to double-check in the output. For perfect fidelity on complex documents, opening in Word and using its built-in PDF export is the only fully-faithful option.
How is this different from saving as PDF from Word?
Word's built-in PDF export is more faithful — it preserves custom fonts, exact spacing, images, complex tables, headers and footers. If you have Word installed and the document is complex, that's the better tool. This converter is for situations where Word isn't available (someone sent you a DOCX and you don't have Office) or where you want to keep the document off cloud services. The output is a clean, readable PDF with proper text — just not pixel-identical to Word's render.
Does the PDF preserve hyperlinks?
v1 renders hyperlinks visually (the link text appears in blue) but does not make them clickable in the PDF. Clickable links are on the roadmap; for now, plan on either re-adding important links manually after conversion, or use Word's built-in PDF export which preserves them.
What page size does the PDF use?
US Letter (8.5 × 11 inches) with 1-inch margins on all sides — the standard for North American documents. A4 support is planned for a future update.
Can I convert multiple DOCX files at once?
Not yet — v1 handles one file at a time. For batches, convert them sequentially. Multi-file batch mode is on the roadmap.
