What Word to PDF does

Converts a Word document into a PDF, preserving headings, paragraphs and images. Converting a Word document to PDF is one of the most common file conversions, needed whenever a document must be shared in a format that displays identically everywhere and can't be easily edited. Headings, paragraphs, basic styling, and images convert well; very complex layouts or unusual font choices may shift slightly compared to the original.

Frequently asked questions

Will my formatting be preserved?

Headings, paragraphs, basic styling and images convert well. Very complex layouts or unusual fonts may shift slightly.

Does this work with .doc files too?

Yes, both .doc and .docx are supported.

Are embedded images preserved?

Yes — images within the Word document are carried over into the PDF output along with headings and paragraph text.

Does this work with tables in my Word document?

Basic tables generally convert reasonably well; very complex or heavily-styled tables may shift slightly compared to the original.

Can I convert DOC to PDF for free, not just DOCX?

This tool is built around the modern .docx format; for an older .doc file, saving it as .docx first in Word will give the most reliable result.

Is there a free DOCX to PDF converter online?

Yes — this DOCX to PDF converter is free; it lets you convert DOC to PDF free, save Word as PDF, and works as a simple doc to PDF online tool with no installation.
