Drop a .docx and it's rendered to PDF on your device — no Office, no account, nothing sent anywhere.
Drop a .docx and it's rendered to PDF on your device — no Office, no account, nothing sent anywhere.
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. The converted PDF stays open in the GhostPDF studio, so you can immediately compress it, merge it with other PDFs, or send it for a signature.
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 — or keep going: the result is a normal PDF in the studio, so you can compress, watermark, protect, or sign it in the same tab.
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.
Can I convert to something other than PDF?
Yes. The same Convert step can also produce plain text (.txt), Markdown (.md), or a standalone HTML page from your .docx.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed cap — the conversion runs in your browser's memory, so very large documents are limited only by your device.
Do you upload my .docx?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript-based parsers — no server-side document processor.
Every GhostPDF tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded — there's no upload endpoint to send it to.
