Processing...

Note: This tool extracts raw text from your .docx file and creates a clean PDF with basic formatting (11pt Helvetica, Letter size). Images, tables, fonts, colours, and complex layout from the original document are not preserved. For exact layout preservation, use Microsoft Word Save as PDF.

No text content could be extracted from this document. The file may be an older .doc format, password-protected, or contain only images.

How to Use Word to PDF

Upload a .docx or .doc file and the tool extracts the text content, then creates a clean PDF with the text formatted in a readable layout. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — your document is never uploaded. Note: complex formatting, images, and tables are not preserved; this extracts text into a clean PDF.

About Word to PDF

Word to PDF converts a Microsoft Word document (.docx or the older .doc format) into a clean, readable PDF. It is useful when someone sends you a .docx file and you need it as a PDF for sharing, printing, or archiving — or when you need a quick PDF from a draft document without opening Word. The tool uses mammoth.js, a JavaScript library that extracts raw text from Word documents, to read the content of your .docx file. The extracted text is then flowed into a new PDF document using pdf-lib, with each paragraph rendered in a standard 11-point Helvetica font, word-wrapped to fit the page margins. Pages are generated automatically as the text flows — the tool calculates line breaks based on available width and creates new pages as needed. Because mammoth.js extracts raw text (not styled or formatted content), the output PDF contains plain, readable text without the fonts, colours, images, tables, headers, footers, or complex layout of the original Word document. This is a practical trade-off: the tool gives you a clean, printable, shareable PDF of your document text instantly and privately, without any upload to a server. For a pixel-perfect reproduction of a Word document, you would use Microsoft Word Save as PDF or a server-side converter — both options that this platform does not offer for privacy reasons. If your document contains only formatted text and no images or complex tables, the result will be a perfectly readable PDF that captures all the written content. For documents where images and layout are critical, consider using Microsoft Word export directly, or use a dedicated desktop PDF printer.

Details & Tips

The conversion pipeline: (1) File is validated as .docx or .doc extension and read into ArrayBuffer. (2) mammoth.js extractRawText() parses the OOXML (or legacy .doc) structure and returns raw text content. (3) pdf-lib creates a new PDFDocument. (4) The Helvetica standard font is embedded. (5) Text is flowed into pages: each line of extracted text is word-wrapped to fit within page margins (612 - 2*50 = 512 points of usable width at 11pt font). (6) When the y-position reaches the bottom margin, a new page is added. (7) The document is serialised via save() with object streams enabled. (8) The resulting ArrayBuffer is packaged as a Blob and triggered as a download. The output PDF uses the standard Helvetica font (one of the 14 guaranteed PDF fonts), so it renders identically on all devices without font embedding. Page size is US Letter (612×792 points).

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my Word documents uploaded to your server?
No. The text extraction and PDF creation happen entirely in your browser. Your .docx file never leaves your device.
Will the output PDF look exactly like my Word document?
No. The tool extracts raw text from your Word document and flows it into a clean PDF with basic formatting. Images, tables, fonts, colours, headers, footers, and complex layout are not preserved. If you need exact layout preservation, use Microsoft Word Save as PDF.
What versions of Word documents are supported?
.docx (Word 2007 and later) is fully supported. The older .doc format (Word 97-2003) may work partially — mammoth.js has limited support for legacy formats. For best results, save your document as .docx before uploading.
Does the PDF keep my images and tables?
No. Images, tables, charts, and other non-text elements are not extracted by this client-side tool. The output PDF contains only the text content.
Can I convert a password-protected Word document?
No. Password-protected .docx files cannot be read by browser-based tools. Remove the protection first in Word.
What font is used in the output PDF?
Helvetica, one of the 14 standard PDF fonts guaranteed to render on any device without font embedding. The text is set at 11 points with 1.5x line spacing for readability.
What page size is the output PDF?
US Letter (8.5 × 11 inches, 612 × 792 points) with 50-point margins on all sides. Pages are generated automatically as the text flows.
Is the tool free?
Yes, completely free. No registration, no account, no usage limits.
What is the maximum file size?
The site-wide maximum (default 50 MB) applies. Very large .docx files with thousands of pages may be slow to process.
Can I use this on mobile?
Yes, the tool works on modern mobile browsers. You can select a .docx file from your phone storage and get a PDF.
Does the PDF preserve the original language and characters?
Yes. The tool uses UTF-8 encoding and the Helvetica font supports all Latin-alphabet languages plus many extended characters. Cyrillic, Arabic, CJK, and other non-Latin scripts should render correctly on modern PDF readers.
