Word to PDF converts .docx, .doc, .odt and .rtf documents into PDF files using LibreOffice, the free office suite, running inside this browser tab. It lays out the pages itself, so headers, footers, page numbers, tables, lists and page breaks carry over. Your documents are never uploaded: the only download is the converter, once, and your browser keeps it for next time.

How to use it

  1. Drag and drop, or click to add one or more Word documents.
  2. Click Convert. The first time, the converter downloads (77 MB); after that it starts in about a second.
  3. A single document downloads as a PDF straight away. With several, download each one, or all of them together as a .zip.

Frequently asked questions

Is my document uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs on LibreOffice, compiled to WebAssembly and running inside this browser tab. Your document is never sent anywhere, and nothing is kept after you close the tab.

Why does it download something the first time?

The converter is a full copy of LibreOffice, the free office suite. Your browser downloads it once (about 77 MB) and keeps it, so later conversions start straight away. The download is the program, not your file - your file stays on your device.

Will the PDF look the same as in Word?

Usually very close: LibreOffice lays out the page itself, so headers, footers, page numbers, tables, lists and page breaks carry over. Fonts are the main difference. Microsoft fonts such as Calibri and Cambria can't be bundled, so LibreOffice uses look-alike fonts with the same letter widths (Carlito and Caladea), which keeps line and page breaks in the same places. Unusual fonts are replaced with a similar one.

Which file types does it convert?

Word documents (.docx and older .doc), OpenDocument text (.odt) and Rich Text (.rtf). You can add several at once; each becomes its own PDF.

Does it work with password-protected documents?

No - a document that needs a password to open can't be read. Remove the password in Word first (File, Info, Protect Document), then convert it.

Does it work on a phone?

It needs a fairly recent browser and a few hundred MB of free memory, because a whole office suite runs in the tab. It works on computers in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. On phones it depends on the device; if it fails there, a computer will do it.

What about Chinese, Japanese or Korean text?

The converter includes fonts for Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic and Hebrew text. Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters may come out as empty boxes, because those fonts are too large to include.
