About this Word to PDF converter

PDF is what you send when the layout has to survive the journey. A Word document opened on a machine without your fonts reflows — page breaks move, tables split awkwardly, and the CV you spent an hour aligning arrives looking careless. A PDF renders identically everywhere.

This converter reads your .docx with mammoth.js, which extracts the document’s semantic structure — headings, paragraphs, lists, bold and italic runs, tables — and then lays that content out into a PDF with jsPDF. You can set output quality, page orientation and margin width before converting.

Both libraries run as JavaScript in this page. CVs, contracts and cover letters are converted on your own machine rather than uploaded to a conversion service.

How to convert Word to PDF

  1. Add your document. Drop in a .docx file. Several can be queued and converted in one run.
  2. Set the options. Quality affects how images inside the document are rendered; orientation and margins control the page layout.
  3. Convert. Each document is parsed and laid out in turn, with progress shown for longer files.
  4. Download and check. Open the PDF and confirm the layout before sending it, particularly if the original used complex formatting.

What converts well, and what does not

A limitation worth knowing about

jsPDF ships with the standard PDF base fonts, which cover Latin scripts well but have limited support for Korean, Japanese, Chinese and other non-Latin writing systems. A document written in those languages may not render correctly through this converter.

If that affects you, there is a reliable alternative that costs nothing: open the document in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs and use its own Export as PDF or Print to PDF function. That path uses the fonts installed on your system and handles any script correctly. This converter is best suited to Latin-script documents where the convenience of not opening an office application is the point.

Frequently asked questions

Does the PDF look exactly like my Word document?

Close for straightforward documents — paragraphs, headings, lists, bold and italic all carry over. Complex layouts, headers and footers, and precisely positioned elements are simplified. Check the result before sending anything that matters.

Does it support .doc as well as .docx?

The parser is built for the modern .docx format. Legacy binary .doc files are a different format entirely and may not convert. Open and re-save as .docx first.

Will Korean, Japanese or Chinese text convert correctly?

Support is limited, because the PDF base fonts used here do not cover those scripts fully. For documents in non-Latin scripts, exporting to PDF directly from Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs gives a much better result.

Are images in my document included?

Yes. Embedded images are carried into the PDF and rendered at the quality level you select.

Can I convert several documents at once?

Yes. Add multiple files and each is converted in turn to its own PDF.

Is my document uploaded?

No. Both mammoth.js and jsPDF run inside your browser, so the file never leaves your machine.
