    What is kept from your Word document

    Headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, lists, tables, pictures, headers, footers and page numbers are laid out as in Word. Hindi, Greek, Cyrillic and Central European letters are embedded so they display correctly.

    What looks slightly different

    Fonts are replaced by standard PDF fonts (Helvetica, Times or Courier), so a few lines can break in a different place. Charts, SmartArt, footnotes, multi-column layouts and text wrapped around pictures are simplified or left out. If your document relies on them, use "Save as PDF" in Word or LibreOffice instead.

    Only have a .doc file?

    Word to PDF reads the modern .docx format. Open an old .doc file in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice, save it as .docx, then convert it here.

    After converting

    Word to PDF: questions and answers

    Will it look exactly like in Word?

    Very close. Styles, lists, tables, pictures, headers and footers are laid out as in Word. Fonts are replaced by standard PDF fonts (Helvetica, Times or Courier), so some lines may break slightly differently.

    Does it work with .doc files?

    Not directly. Open the file in Word or LibreOffice, save it as .docx, then convert.

    What isn't supported yet?

    Charts, SmartArt, footnotes, multi-column layouts and text wrapped around pictures are simplified or left out.

    Does it work with Hindi and other languages?

    Yes. Hindi, Greek, Cyrillic and Central European letters are embedded with the Noto Sans font, so they show correctly in the PDF. Chinese, Japanese and Korean text can't be shown correctly yet.

    Can I convert Word to PDF on my phone?

    Yes. Choose the .docx file from your phone's files, cloud drive or email download, and download the PDF from your browser.

    Is my Word document uploaded?

    No. The document is converted inside your browser, so it never leaves your device.
