Word to PDF Converter

Convert DOC and DOCX files to PDF directly in your browser, including documents with Chinese and Arabic text. Your files stay on your device. First use requires a large engine download, which your browser caches for future conversions. Check the downloaded PDF before sharing, as some formatting may differ from Word.

Your files stay with you

The first conversion downloads a LibreOffice WebAssembly engine to your browser (about 240 MB plus language fonts—one-time setup that can take a while). After that it is cached. Your Word file is not uploaded to ConversionTab servers—only you download the PDF when you choose.

How to convert Word to PDF

  1. Choose Word file

    Select a .doc or .docx file up to 40 MB.

  2. Convert

    Select Convert to PDF. First use prepares the engine (one-time download); then conversion runs on your device.

  3. Download PDF

    Download the PDF, open it to verify layout, then clear to convert another file.

What converts well?

Best with everyday Word files: letters, résumés, reports, tables, and documents with Chinese, Arabic, or other Unicode scripts. Page breaks and LibreOffice-compatible layout are preserved as closely as the engine allows.

Floating images, text boxes, and some header/footer or page-number fields can still differ from Word. Need sample input? Try Word sample files. Going the other way? Use PDF to Word.

Complex floating images, some headers/footers, and exotic Word features can still differ. Always open the PDF and check before sharing.

No. Your Word document is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded to ConversionTab servers. The converted PDF downloads to your device.
