Convert a Word document into a real PDF with selectable text — not a screenshot embedded in a PDF wrapper.
Real, selectable-text conversion — not a screenshot embedded in a PDF, and not a fake preview. Runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded. Formatting is preserved on a best-effort basis — see the FAQ below for exactly what is and isn't supported.
Word to PDF Converter reads your .docx and rebuilds it as a real PDF with actual selectable, searchable text — the common shortcut most browser-based converters take is to screenshot the page and embed that image in a PDF, which looks right but can't be selected, searched, or read by a screen reader. This tool avoids that shortcut entirely.
Upload a .docx file (drag and drop or browse), tap Convert to PDF, then download the result once it finishes.
Many converters take a screenshot of each page and wrap it in a PDF. The result looks fine but you cannot select, search or copy the words, and screen readers cannot read it. This converter rebuilds your .docx content as real text, so you can search for a name, copy a paragraph and use accessibility tools. It also keeps files smaller than image-based PDFs.
Complex layouts such as text boxes, multi-column pages, advanced fonts, tracked changes or elaborate headers and footers may look different from Microsoft Word, so open the result and check it before sending an important file.
Only .docx files are supported, so save older .doc files as .docx in Word or another editor first. Keep layouts simple and use built-in heading styles for the cleanest output. For a final document that will be signed or shared widely, you can merge it with attachments using Merge PDF, reduce its size with PDF Compress, or add a password with Protect PDF. If you need to go back to an editable file, use PDF to Word. Building a job application? The Resume Builder can create and export a CV directly. Conversion runs in your browser, so the document is not uploaded.
Why not just screenshot the page like most browser converters?
Because the result wouldn't be a real document — you couldn't select the text, search it, or have it read aloud by a screen reader. This tool places actual text on the PDF page instead, at the cost of not perfectly matching Word's exact pixel-for-pixel visual layout.
Will this look identical to the original in Word?
Close, but not pixel-perfect. Complex layouts — multi-column text, precise table borders, unusual fonts, headers/footers — are simplified. Standard documents with headings, paragraphs, lists, basic tables, and images convert well.
Does it support legacy .doc files?
No — only the modern .docx format. If you have an older .doc file, save it as .docx in Word first.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No — both reading the Word document and building the PDF happen entirely inside your browser.
