What is the Word to PDF Converter?

A Word to PDF converter takes a .docx file and turns it into a PDF you can download — useful whenever a document needs to look the same everywhere it's opened, instead of shifting around depending on which word processor and fonts the reader has installed.

This one runs the whole conversion inside your browser: mammoth.js reads the .docx file and turns it into HTML, and html2pdf.js then renders that HTML into a PDF — your file is never uploaded anywhere. Use it when you need to submit a resume or report as a PDF instead of an editable Word file, archive a finished document, or send something that will render identically on any device.

How to use it

Click the drop zone or drag a .docx file onto it.
Wait a moment while the document is converted and a live preview appears on the page.
Check the preview — this is exactly what will be exported, since the PDF is generated directly from it.
Give the output file a name.
Click "Download PDF" to save it.

How it works, and why it's private

mammoth.js reads the .docx file's underlying XML and converts it into clean HTML, entirely inside your browser — no part of the document is ever sent to a server. html2pdf.js (built on html2canvas and jsPDF) then takes that rendered HTML and turns it into a PDF, page by page, again without anything leaving your device. Close the tab and everything is gone, because nothing was ever uploaded in the first place.

Headings, bold and italic text, bullet and numbered lists, tables, and images all come through well, since mammoth converts them into their native HTML equivalents and the preview renders them with ordinary browser styling.

A few things worth knowing: because this is an HTML-based conversion rather than a pixel-perfect Word rendering engine, complex multi-column layouts, some custom fonts, and unusual manual spacing may shift slightly between the original document and the PDF. And only the modern .docx format is supported — the older binary .doc format uses a completely different file structure that mammoth can't read directly, so a .doc file needs to be re-saved as .docx first (Word and Google Docs can both do this with "Save As").

Example

A simple resume section, before and after:

Word document: an "Experience" heading, bold job titles, and a bulleted list of responsibilities

→ mammoth converts it to: <h2>Experience</h2>, <strong>job titles</strong>, and a <ul><li> list

→ html2pdf renders that HTML into a PDF with the same heading, bold text, and bullets intact

Frequently asked questions

Is my Word document uploaded to a server?

No — the entire conversion happens locally in your browser using mammoth.js and html2pdf.js. Your file is never sent anywhere.

Why doesn't this support the old .doc format?

The older binary .doc format (from Word 97-2003) uses a completely different internal structure than .docx, and the library this tool relies on only reads .docx. Re-save the file as .docx in Word or Google Docs ("Save As" → Word Document) and upload it again.

What formatting is preserved, and what might change?

Headings, bold/italic text, bullet and numbered lists, tables, and images are preserved well. Complex multi-column layouts, some custom fonts, and precise manual spacing can shift slightly, since the conversion goes through HTML rather than rendering the original Word layout pixel-for-pixel.

Do images and tables survive the conversion?

Yes — images are embedded directly into the preview and the resulting PDF, and tables keep their rows, columns, and cell content.

Is there a file size limit?

There's no hard limit, since nothing is uploaded — the only ceiling is your own browser's available memory. Very large or complex documents simply take longer to convert and export, and the progress indicator will show while that's happening.
