Share a Word document as a PDF

A .docx file opens differently depending on the app, font availability, and OS of whoever opens it. A PDF looks the same everywhere. DocZap's Word to PDF tool converts your document into a PDF that's ready to send, print, or archive without worrying about how it'll render on the other end.

The one DocZap tool that isn't client-side

Every other tool on this site runs entirely in your browser. This one doesn't, because properly laying out a Word document into a PDF requires a real document engine. Your file is sent to a small, dedicated conversion service, converted, and sent back; both the source file and the converted output are deleted immediately afterward, and nothing about the conversion is logged. See the Privacy Policy for the exact details.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this tool 100% client-side like DocZap's other tools?+

No — this is one of the few DocZap tools that isn't. Turning a .docx file into a properly paginated, correctly formatted PDF requires a real document engine, not JavaScript in a browser tab. Your file is sent to a small conversion service DocZap runs, converted, and returned; the source file and the converted output are both deleted immediately afterward, and nothing about the conversion is logged.

Will the PDF look exactly like the Word document?+

Yes, for the vast majority of documents — fonts, spacing, images, headers/footers, and page breaks are preserved. Very unusual formatting (uncommon fonts not available on the conversion server, embedded objects from other apps) can occasionally render slightly differently.

Is there a file size limit?+

Yes, files up to 15MB are supported, which comfortably covers the vast majority of documents.

Does this work with .doc files, or only .docx?+

Only the modern .docx format is supported. If you have an older .doc file, resave it as .docx in Word or LibreOffice first.
