Word to PDF
Convert .docx documents to PDF directly in your browser. Headings, paragraphs, lists, basic tables, bold and italic carry across. No upload, no signup.
Document
Drop a .docx here or browse
Microsoft Word .docx only. .doc legacy format not supported.
Save as PDF keeps text selectable, searchable, and copyable via your browser's print dialog (layout depends on the browser). Image-based PDF gives a pixel-perfect layout but the text becomes a flat picture (no selecting or searching).

What is Word to PDF?
Convert Microsoft Word .docx documents to PDF directly in your browser.
The file is parsed in memory using Mammoth, which extracts the structured content - paragraphs, headings, bold/italic, lists, and basic tables - and then jspdf draws it onto pages with your chosen page size (A4, Letter, Legal), orientation, and margin. Nothing is uploaded; you can confirm this in your browser's Network tab while the conversion runs. Best results come from documents that are primarily text, so converting a resume to PDF, turning a cover letter into a PDF, or saving a contract or report as PDF works cleanly without an email signup or watermark. Heavily formatted documents with complex multi-column layouts, embedded charts, SmartArt, or tracked changes will be flattened to their text content; the result is readable but not pixel-identical to what Microsoft Word would produce. For pixel-perfect conversion of complex layouts, server-side LibreOffice is the only honest answer and that requires a paid tool. This is the free, private alternative that handles the common case well.

Need this in your code, not in a tab?
This tool converts documents to PDF entirely in your browser, which is the right answer when a person is clicking the button. It is the wrong answer for invoices after checkout, reports on a schedule, or certificates generated per user, because those run without anyone watching.
For that, you want a rendering engine behind an API. PDFPipe is built by the same author as this site: send HTML or a URL, get a print-grade PDF back in about a second. Free for 100 documents a month, no card required.
curl -X POST https://api.pdfpipe.xyz/v1/pdf \
-H "Authorization: Bearer pp_live_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"html": "<h1>Invoice #4012</h1>"}' \
--output invoice.pdfNot sure which approach fits? Browser tools, headless browsers, and PDF APIs compared.
