About this tool

Word (DOCX) to PDF — convert documents, free and private

Convert a Word .docx document to a PDF that anyone can open, with your text and basic formatting kept intact. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so no document contents are sent to PaperFit.

How to convert Word to PDF

  1. Drop your .docx file into the box above, or click to choose one.
  2. Pick a page size, margins, and font if you want — or keep the defaults.
  3. Click Convert to build the PDF locally in your browser.
  4. Download the finished PDF. No document contents are sent to PaperFit.

What it does

  • Keeps your headings, paragraphs, lists, and basic styling
  • Choose page size (A4, Letter, and more), margins, and font
  • Any scripts or macros inside the document are stripped, never run
  • No watermark, no sign-up, no document contents sent to PaperFit

Common uses

  • Sending a CV or cover letter as a PDF so the layout stays put
  • Sharing a contract or report that the reader can't accidentally edit
  • Submitting a .docx to a portal that only accepts PDF files

Is it private?

Yes. Unlike most "Word to PDF online" converters, PaperFit processes your document on your device, and no document contents are sent to PaperFit — the whole conversion happens on your own device in the browser. That matters for a .docx, which can carry tracked changes, comments, hidden metadata, or even macros: with PaperFit none of that is sent to PaperFit, and any embedded scripts are stripped out rather than executed. A confidential offer letter, contract, or résumé stays entirely with you.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs in your browser, so no document contents are sent to PaperFit and there is nothing for us to see or store.

Will my formatting be preserved?

Text, headings, paragraphs, lists, and basic styling carry over well. Very complex layouts, custom fonts, or precise spacing from Word may shift slightly, so check the result before sending.

Is there a file size limit?

You can convert .docx files up to 50 MB. Because everything runs locally, very large files depend on your device's available memory.

Does it support old .doc files?

No. This tool handles the modern .docx format. Open an older .doc in Word or Google Docs and save it as .docx first.

Are macros or embedded scripts a risk?

No. PaperFit strips out any scripts or macros and never runs them, so an untrusted .docx can't execute code while you convert it.

Is it free and does it work on mobile?

Yes. Converting is free with no account and no watermark, and it runs in modern mobile browsers too, though large files are limited by phone memory.
