Word to PDF
Drop a .docx file and download a PDF. Everything runs locally — your document never leaves your device.
How it works
- Drop a .docx file into the upload area.
- The converter loads on first use (about 7.8 MB, cached afterwards). Bundled fonts (Liberation Sans, Serif, Mono and Carlito) substitute for Calibri, Arial, Times and Courier with matching metrics.
- Click 'Convert to PDF'. The engine parses document.xml, _rels, and embedded media, then emits a Type0+Identity-H PDF with subsetted fonts.
- Download the PDF — open it in any viewer.
- Everything runs locally. Your .docx never leaves your browser.
Frequently asked questions
What's supported?
Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic text; bold, italic, strikethrough; per-run font sizes; tables with borders; bullet and numbered lists (decimal, letter, roman); inline JPEG and PNG images.
What about Arabic, Chinese, or Hebrew?
Not in v1 — those need CJK or RTL-aware text shaping which our bundled fonts don't cover. Coming in a later release.
Are Calibri/Arial preserved?
They're substituted with metric-compatible alternatives (Carlito and Liberation Sans). Line breaks and column widths stay identical — visual difference is minimal at normal reading sizes.
What about equations, charts, headers, footers, footnotes?
Equations, embedded charts, and Word field codes (date, page number) aren't supported yet. Headers/footers are on the roadmap.
How does the output size compare?
Output PDFs are usually smaller than the input .docx because we subset fonts (embed only used glyphs) and pass JPEGs through verbatim.
