Word to PDF

Requires server processing

Upload a Word document and download a PDF version, formatted exactly as it would print.

Overview

This tool converts a Word document to PDF using a real office-suite conversion engine (LibreOffice, running headless), so fonts, layout, and formatting come through the same way they would printing from Word itself.

Both current .docx files and older .doc files are accepted — the legacy binary format many pre-2007 documents still use.

Examples

Sharing a document that won't be edited further

resume.docx
converted-resume.pdf (fixed layout, opens identically everywhere)

How It Works

  1. Choose a .doc or .docx file from your device.
  2. Click Convert. The file is uploaded and converted to PDF server-side.
  3. Click Download to save the PDF.

Use Cases

Sending a document that shouldn't be edited

Convert a finished resume, contract, or report to PDF so it displays identically for every recipient, regardless of what software they have.

Opening an old .doc file as a PDF

Turn a legacy .doc file into a PDF that any modern device can open without needing Word installed.

Tips

  • Review the converted PDF before sending — unusual fonts or embedded objects can occasionally render slightly differently than in Word.

FAQ
