Frequently asked questions

Is this Word to PDF converter free?

Yes — completely free with no sign-up and no watermark on the result.

Is my document uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — the file never leaves your device.

Will the PDF look exactly like my Word document?

Close, but not pixel-for-pixel. Text, headings, lists, tables and links all carry over, but exact page layout, custom fonts and complex formatting may render a little differently, since this rebuilds the document rather than rendering Word's own layout engine.

Does this work with .doc files, not just .docx?

Only .docx (the modern Word format) is supported. Save an older .doc file as .docx in Word first.

Why does Download PDF open a print dialog?

It uses your browser's built-in "Save as PDF" printer, which produces a real, selectable-text PDF without needing extra software.
