Frequently asked questions

How do I convert Word to PDF for free?

Add your Word file in the box above, from your device, Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive, and click Convert to PDF. A few seconds later your PDF is ready to download. It's free, with no watermark and no sign-up.

How do I convert a DOCX file to PDF?

Upload the .docx file and convert it. The same works for older .doc files from Word 97–2003, for .odt files from LibreOffice or OpenOffice and for .rtf rich-text files.

Will the PDF keep my Word formatting?

Yes. Fonts, headings, spacing, margins, page breaks, images, tables and lists come through as in your document. Common Office fonts such as Calibri and Cambria are matched with metric-compatible equivalents, so lines and pages break in the same places. A rare font that isn't installed on our server is replaced by the closest match.

How do I convert Word to PDF on my phone or Mac?

Open this page in Safari or Chrome on your iPhone, Android phone or Mac, upload the document and convert it. You don't need Microsoft Word or any app; the PDF is saved to your downloads.

How do I save a Word document as PDF in Microsoft Word?

In Word on Windows or Mac, use File > Save As (or File > Export) and choose PDF as the format. Use this converter when you don't have Word installed, when you're on a phone, or when you want to convert several documents at once.

Can I convert several Word files at once and combine them into one PDF?

With a free account you can convert up to 3 documents at once (80 MB each, 120 MB in total). Each becomes its own PDF; to combine them into one file, send the results straight to Merge PDF without downloading them first.

Is the converted PDF editable?

A PDF keeps your layout fixed, so it isn't edited like a Word file. To change the text later, open the PDF in Editly, or turn it back into a Word document with PDF to Word.

Can I convert Word to PDF/A?

Not at the moment: the converter produces a standard PDF, which suits printing, email and most upload forms. If a portal specifically demands PDF/A for archiving, use a tool that offers that format.

Do tracked changes and comments show up in the PDF?

They can, so accept or reject all tracked changes and delete the comments in Word before converting. Your PDF then shows only the final text.

Why does my PDF have an extra blank page?

Usually because the Word document ends with an empty paragraph or a page break after the last line. Delete it and convert again, or remove the blank page afterwards with Delete Pages.

Do documents in Arabic, Chinese or Hindi convert correctly?

Yes. Our server has fonts for Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Devanagari and many other scripts, so the text keeps its own letters and reading direction in the PDF.

What's the file size limit?

Without an account you can convert one document of up to 80 MB. With a free account you can convert 3 at once, 80 MB each and 120 MB in total.

How do I make the PDF smaller?

Documents with many photos can produce large PDFs. After converting, shrink the result with Compress PDF, which can be done straight from the download screen.

Can I protect or sign the PDF after converting?

Yes. Send the PDF straight to Protect PDF to add a password, or to Sign PDF to sign it, without downloading and uploading it again.

Are my documents kept private?

Yes. Files are sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection, converted on our server and deleted automatically within one hour. They aren't shared with anyone or used to train AI.
