What the Word to PDF tool does

A PDF looks the same on every device, which is why universities and employers ask for one. If you do not have Word to hand, or you are on a phone, this tool turns a .docx file into a PDF in a few seconds.

It reads the structure of your document and lays it out again with the same headings, text styles, lists, simple tables, pictures, page size and margins. Because the layout is rebuilt in your browser, it will not match Word line for line.

How to use it in four steps

  1. Open the Word to PDF tool and choose your .docx file.
  2. Read the note about what is and is not carried across.
  3. Press Convert to PDF.
  4. Download the PDF and check it page by page before you submit it.

How students use it

  • Make a PDF of coursework when your portal only accepts PDFs.
  • Share a document with a tutor in a format that opens everywhere.
  • Send a CV as a PDF so the layout cannot change.
  • Make a PDF on a phone or a shared computer without Word.

Good to know

  • Only .docx files work. An older .doc file must be saved as .docx in Word first.
  • Headings, bold, italic, underline, colour, lists, simple tables, PNG and JPG pictures, page size and margins are kept.
  • Headers, footers, page numbers in footers, footnotes, text boxes, shapes and charts are not carried across.
  • Line breaks and fonts can differ from Word, so page counts may change. If your word limit, page limit or layout is strict, use Save as PDF inside Word for an exact copy.

Word to PDF — your questions

Is Word to PDF really free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on files. It runs in your browser.

Is my Word document uploaded?

No. The file is read and the PDF is built inside your browser tab, so your document is never sent to us.

Will the PDF look exactly like my Word file?

Not exactly. The layout is rebuilt, so line breaks, fonts and page breaks can differ. Use Save as PDF in Word when you need an exact copy.

Does it work with .doc files?

No. Open the file in Word, save it as .docx, and then convert it.

Can I submit the PDF to my university?

Check the PDF carefully first. If your university needs an exact format or page count, export the PDF from Word or Google Docs instead.
