Word to PDF without Word

Many applications ask for PDFs, but on a computer without Word — or on a phone — converting is a hassle. This tool reads the .docx file directly in your browser and redraws headings, paragraphs, lists, tables and images as an A4 PDF. Fonts are embedded so text never breaks, and the file is never uploaded.

What's converted

What gets simplified

Headers and footers, footnotes, text boxes, shapes, columns, partial bold or colored words within a paragraph, and fine spacing/margins are dropped or simplified. It's best for text-focused documents. Check the preview (first two pages); if the design must match exactly, use “Save as PDF” in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. Old .doc files and password-protected documents can't be read.

To go the other way use PDF to Word; for plain notes use Text to PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with Pages, ODT or other formats?

Only .docx. Export your document as .docx first.

Text in a table cell is cut off.

Narrow cells wrap text onto several lines rather than cutting it, but very narrow columns are best widened in Word first.

An image is missing.

Only PNG and JPG images are converted. EMF, SVG and drawn shapes are skipped.
