Word to PDF Online Free — PrivaTools

TL;DR: Upload a .docx and download it as a PDF that looks the same on every device.

Convert Word to PDF online for free — upload .docx documents and convert them to high-quality PDFs preserving headings, bold, italic text, images, and paragraph formatting.

Like the rest of the 179-tool PrivaTools suite, Word to PDF is MIT-licensed and self-hostable. The public demo deletes your file as soon as the response leaves the server — verifiable in the open-source codebase on GitHub.

How to Word to PDF with PrivaTools

  1. Upload the Word document — Select a .doc or .docx file up to 500 MB.
  2. Conversion runs automatically — LibreOffice converts the document server-side, preserving formatting, images, headers, footers, and table-of-contents links.
  3. Download the PDF — Click Convert and save the result. Hyperlinks and bookmarks from the original document are preserved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is formatting preserved during conversion?

Yes. LibreOffice preserves fonts, styles, tables, images, headers, footers, and table-of-contents links. Minor differences may occur with uncommon fonts.

Are .doc (legacy) files supported?

Yes. Both the older .doc format and the modern .docx format are supported.

What about tracked changes and comments?

Tracked changes and comments visible in the document will appear in the PDF. Accept or reject changes in Word first if you want a clean output.
