Word to PDF Converter

How to use

Drop your Word document onto the upload area or click to browse — docx, doc, odt, rtf, and txt are all accepted, up to 20MB. Click Convert and the document is rendered to PDF by LibreOffice on our server, usually in a few seconds. The finished PDF appears in an embedded preview so you can check pagination and fonts before saving, then click Download. Your file is processed in memory and deleted immediately after the response — it is never written to disk.

Why use this tool

PDF is the format that looks the same everywhere — Word files can reflow or substitute fonts depending on the reader's device and Office version. Converting to PDF before sending a resume, contract, invoice, or assignment guarantees the recipient sees exactly what you formatted, and prevents accidental edits. This converter uses LibreOffice, which handles real-world documents — headers, footers, tables, images, page numbers — far better than naive HTML-based converters. It works on any device with a browser, needs no Microsoft Office license, no installation, and no account.

FAQ

Will my fonts and layout be preserved?

Yes for the vast majority of documents. Conversion is done by LibreOffice, which renders headers, footers, tables, images, and page numbering faithfully. Documents using very obscure commercial fonts may fall back to a close substitute.

Can I convert old .doc files, not just .docx?

Yes. Legacy doc (Word 97-2003), odt (OpenDocument), rtf, and plain txt are all supported in addition to docx.

Is my document stored on your server?

No. The file is converted in memory and discarded the moment the PDF is sent back to you. We keep only an anonymous counter for rate limiting — never the file or its content.

Is there an API for Word to PDF?

Yes — POST your file to /api/v1/convert/office-to-pdf with a free API key. See the API docs for curl, Python, and Node examples.
