Word to PDF

Paragraphs, headings, and simple tables become pages. This is not a print copy of Word.

PDF tools use pdf-lib (MIT).

About this tool

Word to PDF turns a .docx into a PDF in this browser. The file stays on your device.

Pictures, text boxes, headers, and footers are left out. Older .doc binary files are not read. If you need a picture of the page, print to PDF from Word on your machine.

The DOCX zip is opened locally, document XML is parsed, and blocks are drawn with pdf-lib. 50 MB. No upload of the manuscript.

How to convert Word to PDF

  1. Choose a .docx. It stays on your device.
  2. Convert.
  3. Download the PDF and read it — this is not a print clone of the Word page.

50 MB. .doc not supported. Images and Word’s pagination are omitted. Password-protected Office files are not opened.

FAQ

Is the Word zip unpacked on ConvertWarp's machines?
No. Unzip and PDF draw happen in this tab.
Why does it not look like Word?
There is no Word layout engine in the browser here. ConvertWarp states that on the page instead of faking iLove-style fidelity.
Comments and tracked changes?
Not rendered as balloons. You get body text.
Will a round-trip through PDF to Word restore this DOCX layout?
PDF to Word extracts text. Round-trip will not restore the original DOCX design.
Commercial use of the PDF?
You keep rights in your document. Check that the output is good enough for the reader before you send it.
