Word to PDF - Convert DOC, DOCX to PDF Free Online

Drop a .doc, .docx, .odt or .rtf file and the conversion starts automatically. We use LibreOffice headless (the same engine Google Docs uses for its export pipeline) to render the document with embedded fonts and exact layout, then deliver a downloadable PDF. No signup, no watermark, no editing of your source file.

Yes — LibreOffice embeds the fonts it can locate and falls back to lookalikes for the rest, preserves table grids and cell styling, and renders embedded images at their original resolution. Multi-column layouts, headers/footers, page numbers and footnotes all carry over.

Yes — both formats are supported, along with .odt (LibreOffice/OpenOffice), .rtf (Rich Text Format), and plain .txt. LibreOffice can read every Microsoft Word version back to Word 97.

PDFs are universally readable without Microsoft Office, look identical on every device (no font substitution surprises), can't be accidentally edited by the recipient, and are accepted by virtually every legal, HR and government filing system. Word documents change layout depending on the viewer's installed fonts and Word version.

Macros are stripped during conversion (they don't belong in a static PDF). Word form fields are converted to flattened text — fillable behaviour does not survive. For interactive PDF forms, create them directly in Acrobat or use our PDF watermark + sign workflow.

The file is uploaded to our LibreOffice service, converted in an isolated environment, and deleted within 24 hours. We never share or train on your documents. For maximum privacy with confidential contracts, use a desktop LibreOffice install.

Yes — both web hyperlinks and internal cross-references (Table of Contents jumps, "see page X" references) are preserved as clickable links in the output PDF. Bookmarks defined in Word become a navigable outline in the PDF.

Free, no signup. Files up to 50MB are accepted, which comfortably covers even image-heavy multi-hundred-page documents. No watermark added to the output.

Just drop the .docx (or .doc, .odt, .rtf) here — the conversion runs on the server with LibreOffice, so nothing is installed on your end. It works straight from any browser, including a Chromebook, tablet or borrowed computer with no Office licence, and the layout matches the original.

This tool goes one way — Word to PDF — and leaves your source file untouched. If you (or the recipient) later need to edit the content, run the PDF through the PDF to Word tool to get an editable .docx back.
