Convert Word documents to PDF
Word, OpenDocument and RTF files are turned into PDF pages as they come in, in your browser. The layout is rebuilt rather than printed by Word, so complex documents can come out looking different; you see every page before you download.
Yes. Word to PDF is one of the everyday tools, free forever, with no account and no watermark. Pricing
How to do it
- Choose files and pick your documents, or drop them on the page.
- Check the pages, and add, remove or reorder them if needed.
- Press Download.
You do not have to take our word for it
-
Watch the network
The "Nothing is uploaded" button in the app opens a list of every other site the page has contacted since you opened it, and how often, taken from the browser's own record. Your browser's developer tools show every request, this site's own included.
-
Pull the plug
Once the app has loaded, turn off your network and keep working. Text recognition, the document converter and the handwriting fonts work offline too after their first use.
-
Redaction that removes
A page with something blacked out is saved as a picture of itself, so the text under the box is gone, and every redacted page is checked before the file is saved.
Questions
- Will it look exactly like Word?
- Not always. The text comes across, with headings, lists, tables and pictures, on the document's own pages: their size, margins, headers and footers. But the layout is rebuilt rather than printed by Word, and the fonts differ: text is set in Helvetica, Times or Courier, and other scripts in the Noto fonts. You see every page before you download.
- Which languages come out right?
- Most of the world's: languages written in Latin, Greek or Cyrillic letters, Arabic and Hebrew, Hindi and the other Devanagari languages, Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. The fonts for a script are fetched from this site the first time a document needs them, and kept for offline use. Emoji and some symbols are left out, and you are told when that happens.
- Does it need a network?
- Only the first time: the converter is fetched from this site when you first convert a document, and kept for offline use after that.
- Is it free?
- Yes. Word to PDF is one of the everyday tools, free forever, with no account and no watermark.
