About this tool

A .docx opens a little differently on every machine. Fonts substitute, margins drift, page breaks wander. A PDF doesn't move, which is why résumés, cover letters, and contract drafts get sent as PDFs. Drop your .docx here, look over the preview, download.

The usual online converters start by asking you to upload the document. This one parses it, lays out the pages, and renders the PDF in your browser, on your own machine. Its contents never leave your device. For an offer letter or an NDA, that's rather the point.

About fidelity: the text comes through as real, selectable text. You can highlight, copy, and search it in the PDF, and it stays crisp at any zoom. Tables keep their borders and shading (drawn as graphics beneath the selectable text), and images come across too. Exact fonts are matched to close substitutes, so the look is very near but not pixel-identical, and the rare page that leans on multi-column layout or a non-Latin script is kept as a faithful image instead. Everyday documents come through clean and searchable. The preview exists so you can check before downloading rather than after.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The .docx is parsed and rendered entirely in your browser. It never leaves your device, and there's no server copy to worry about afterward.
Is the text in the output PDF selectable?
Yes. The PDF carries real, selectable, searchable text, including inside tables, whose borders and shading are drawn as graphics beneath the text. Only the rare page built on multi-column layout or a non-Latin script is kept as a faithful image instead (its text is part of the picture there).
Does it support the old .doc format?
No, only .docx (Word 2007 and later). For a legacy .doc, open it in Word or Google Docs, save it as .docx, and bring that here.
Why does my document look slightly different from Word?
Layout is rebuilt from the .docx inside the browser, so fonts you don't have installed get substituted, and complicated structures like nested tables or footnotes can shift. Simple documents render faithfully. The preview will tell you either way before you commit.
Will headers, footers, and images come through?
Yes, all three render. Page size (Letter, A4, or custom) is read from the document, so the PDF pages match the original dimensions.
Is there a file size limit?
Up to 50 MB. In practice the limit is your tab's memory. Typical documents are a few MB and convert in seconds.
