How to use Word to PDF
- Select a .docx file.
- Check the preview and pick portrait or landscape.
- Click “Convert to PDF” — or use “Print to PDF” for selectable text.
Two ways to create the PDF
Convert to PDF renders the document into PDF pages directly. Print to PDF opens your browser’s print dialog, where “Save as PDF” produces a PDF with selectable text using your system fonts.
Headings, paragraphs, bold/italic, lists, tables and embedded images are supported. Exact fonts, headers/footers, text boxes and page breaks from Word are approximated, so long, highly formatted documents may differ slightly from Word’s own export.
Old .doc files
The legacy binary .doc format is not supported. Open it in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs and save as .docx first.
🔒 Your files never leave your device
bopdf processes your documents locally with JavaScript (pdf-lib and Mozilla pdf.js) inside your browser tab. Your PDF is never uploaded, stored or seen by us — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool keeps working. When you close the tab, everything is gone.
Frequently asked questions
Is Word to PDF free?
Yes, free with no watermark.
Will it look exactly like in Word?
Close, but not identical for complex layouts. For a perfect copy use Word’s own “Save as PDF”.
Can I convert on my phone?
Yes, it works in mobile browsers too.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens in your browser on your own device. Files are never sent over the internet, which makes bopdf suitable for confidential documents.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed limit, but very large files (hundreds of MB) depend on your device memory. On phones, files up to about 100 MB usually work well.
