Everything you need to convert Word to PDF

Professional-grade conversion with 24 powerful features — all running in your browser.

Document Fidelity

Every paragraph, heading, table, and image from your Word document is rendered with precise layout, fonts, and formatting preserved in the PDF.

Editable Text to PDF Text

All text content from your .docx file becomes real, searchable, selectable PDF text — not images. Copy, search, and highlight in the output.

Heading Preservation

Word heading styles (H1, H2, H3) are preserved as PDF bookmarks. Navigate your converted document with a built-in outline.

Table Conversion

Word tables are rendered as precise PDF tables with borders, cell shading, and column widths maintained exactly as designed.

Image Embedding

Images, charts, and graphics from your Word document are embedded in the PDF at their original resolution and position.

Font Embedding

Fonts used in your Word document are embedded in the PDF so it looks identical on any device, even without the fonts installed.

Page Size Selection

Choose A4, US Letter, Legal, A3, or A5 page size for the output PDF. Match your region or printing requirements.

Portrait & Landscape

Force portrait or landscape orientation, or let the tool auto-detect from your Word document layout.

Custom Margins

Set precise margins in inches, centimeters, or millimeters. Use presets like Narrow, Normal, or Wide, or define your own.

Quality Control

Choose between standard, high, and ultra-high rendering. Balance file size against visual quality for your use case.

Batch Conversion

Upload multiple .docx files and convert them all to PDF in one session. Each document gets its own PDF file.

Custom Filename

Name your output PDF exactly what you want before downloading. No auto-generated or generic filenames.

Hyperlink Preservation

Clickable links in your Word document are preserved as functional hyperlinks in the PDF. Internal and external links both work.

List Rendering

Bulleted and numbered lists from Word are rendered with proper indentation and list markers in the PDF output.

Headers & Footers

Word headers and footers — including page numbers, dates, and document titles — are preserved in the PDF on every page.

Metadata Transfer

Title, author, subject, and keywords from your Word document carry over to the PDF document properties automatically.

File Optimization

Optional compression reduces PDF file size by downsampling images and subsetting fonts. Balance quality against size.

Live Preview

See a rendered preview of your PDF before downloading. Verify formatting, page breaks, and layout before committing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does Word to PDF conversion work?

PDFly reads your .docx file using the browser built-in file API, extracts text, images, tables, and formatting, then generates a PDF using pdf-lib. Text becomes real PDF text, images are embedded at full resolution, and formatting is preserved. Everything happens in your browser.

Will the PDF look exactly like my Word document?

The conversion preserves content and structure closely — paragraphs, headings, tables, lists, and images are maintained. Minor differences may occur with complex layouts or non-standard fonts, but the output is a faithful representation of your document.

Are fonts embedded in the PDF?

Yes. Fonts used in your Word document are embedded in the PDF so it renders identically on any device, even if the recipient does not have those fonts installed. This ensures consistent appearance across all viewers.

Can I convert multiple Word files at once?

Yes. Upload multiple .docx files and convert them all in one session. Each document is converted individually and you can download each PDF separately or all together.

Is my document uploaded to a server?

No. Word to PDF runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your document is read locally, processed locally, and the PDF is generated on your device. Zero network transfers occur during conversion.

Are there any limits?

No. Convert Word documents of any size, any page count, as many times as you want. No file size caps, no daily limits, no page restrictions. Completely free with no watermarks.
