Word to PDF Free — Convert .docx Online
Convert a .docx Word document into a PDF in your browser. Paragraphs, headings, and bulleted lists transfer; images and complex formatting may not. Best for text-heavy documents that need to ship as PDF.
How it works
- Drop your .docx file. Drag a Word .docx file onto the page. The 'old' .doc format from Word 97-2003 isn't supported — convert it to .docx first in Word.
- We render it to PDF locally. GhostPDF lays out the document's text and structure into PDF pages in your browser. No upload, no Microsoft account, no Office license required.
- Download your PDF. Hit download. The output is a clean PDF you can email, print, or sign.
Frequently asked questions
Will the formatting be exactly preserved?
Plain-text fidelity is good — paragraphs, headings, bulleted/numbered lists, and basic line breaks transfer cleanly. Images, tables, exact fonts, columns, and complex layouts may not. For pixel-perfect conversion, use Word's built-in 'Save as PDF'.
Does this support .doc (Word 97-2003)?
No. Only .docx is supported. To convert a .doc file, open it in Word or LibreOffice first and Save As .docx.
Are images preserved?
Some images survive; complex anchored layouts may not render exactly right. For documents with critical image placement, prefer Word's native PDF export.
Is there a file size limit?
25MB. The limit reflects the in-browser converter's working memory.
Do you upload my .docx?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript-based parsers — no server-side document processor.
Free?
Yes. No signup, no watermark, no caps.
