We'll show your PDF after conversion finishes.
This Word file may convert with reduced fidelity
We noticed signals in your document that don't translate cleanly to PDF. You can still convert — the result may need cleanup.
- Vector image (EMF or WMF) detected — it won't appear in the PDF
- Some Word styles weren't fully preserved — the PDF may look slightly different from the original
- Comments or tracked changes were dropped — they don't transfer to PDF
- Embedded objects (equations, charts) couldn't be converted — they're missing from the PDF
For pixel-perfect conversion, use Microsoft Word's built-in Save as PDF. Otherwise, proceed below.
Convert the whole document with Pro
Free converts the first page. Pro converts the whole document — same key unlocks PDF to Word, OCR PDF, and every Pro tool.

Portable PDFs from Word documents
Drop a .docx, get a PDF. Works in your browser — files stay on your device. Good for resumes you want to send, letters you want to print, contracts you want to archive. Complex layouts (multi-column, tracked changes, equations) may convert with reduced fidelity; for pixel-perfect output, Microsoft Word's built-in Save as PDF is the right tool. For everything else, this is faster, free up to 10 MB, and private.
Frequently asked questions
- Will the layout match Microsoft Word's output?
- Not pixel-perfect. We preserve paragraphs, headings, basic tables, inline images, lists, bold/italic. Custom fonts are substituted with standard PDF fonts (Times Roman / Helvetica / Courier). Multi-column sections flatten to single column. For exact output, use Word's built-in Save as PDF.
- What about tracked changes and comments?
- Tracked changes and comments are not preserved. Accept or reject them in Word first, then convert here.
- What about embedded equations or charts?
- Word's equation editor output and embedded charts don't render correctly in pdf-lib. They may appear broken or missing. If your document has equations, consider Word's Save as PDF.
- Are images preserved?
- Inline images come through as PNG or JPEG. EMF/WMF vector images aren't supported and may be dropped — we'll warn you when this happens.
- Why .docx only and not .doc?
- .doc is the older binary Word format from before 2007. Open your .doc in Word and Save As .docx, then return here.
- What's the file size limit?
- Free tier converts files up to 10 MB; Pro tier lifts that to 40 MB. $1.99 day pass, $4.99 credits, $5.99/mo Pro, or $49/annual Pro annual — same key works across all our Pro tools.
- Is my file uploaded?
- No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser — your file never touches our servers. We can't see your documents.
