Word to PDF — free, no watermark, no sign-up
Turn a .docx into a PDF with the layout intact. It all runs in your browser — the file is never uploaded. Free, unlimited, no watermark. One caveat: the text in the resulting PDF cannot be selected or searched (see below).

Common questions
- Do I need to sign up?
- No. Converting and downloading need no account. Signing in is only for saving the result to the cloud and continuing on another device.
- Is the result watermarked?
- No. Nothing is watermarked and there is no limit on how many times you convert.
- Is my file uploaded to your servers?
- No. The whole conversion happens in your browser. Open DevTools (F12) and watch the Network tab to check — it also works with the network switched off.
- How big a file can I convert?
- Up to 50 MB per file. That is not a marketing gate — it is where a browser stops coping. Past it, a phone will have the tab killed by the OS, silently.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes, with the same features as on a computer. Very large files will simply take longer.
- Will you start charging later?
- It is free and unlimited today. We avoid absolute promises nobody can back, and there is no hidden sign-up wall or usage cap either.
- Why can I not select the text in the PDF?
- There is no CJK font we can embed in the browser: using the PDF text API turns Chinese into boxes, and shipping a Chinese font costs every visitor several megabytes. So we render the layout to an image and place that in the PDF. It is the only approach that keeps every script rendering correctly — the cost is non-selectable text.
- Does it handle the old .doc format?
- No, only .docx. The legacy .doc format is binary and has no reliable browser parser. Save as .docx in Word or WPS first.
- Is it slow for long documents?
- Yes — the whole document is rasterised first, so memory use grows with length. Files over the limit are stopped before we start, with a message, rather than crashing the page.
