How to convert Word to PDF online

Converting a Word document to PDF is the standard way to share a file that looks the same on every device. PDFRift converts your .docx files to PDF entirely in the browser — no need to install Word, use a printer driver, or upload your file to a cloud service.

Step-by-step

  1. Upload your .docx file using the dropzone above.
  2. Click "Convert to PDF" and the tool will parse the document and render it as a PDF.
  3. Download the resulting PDF — it is ready to share, print, or archive.

Why convert Word to PDF locally?

Word documents often contain tracked changes, comments, and metadata that reveal more than you intend. Converting to PDF in the browser using mammoth.js and pdf-lib means the conversion happens on your device. No server ever sees the document, its metadata, or its revision history — making this the safest option for sensitive business and personal documents.

Common use cases

Sending CVs and cover letters

Convert your resume to PDF before submitting a job application to ensure consistent formatting across all devices.

Sharing official documents

Legal letters, proposals, and invoices should be shared as PDFs to prevent accidental editing by the recipient.

Archiving records

PDF is the standard format for long-term document archival. Convert Word files before storing them in your records system.

Tips for Word-to-PDF conversion

  • The converter works best with text-heavy documents — CVs, letters, reports, and memos.
  • Complex features like charts, SmartArt, and macros will be simplified during conversion.
  • Review the PDF after conversion to check that headings, bold text, and paragraph spacing look correct.

Frequently asked questions

Does the converter support .doc files?

Currently only .docx (the modern Word format) is supported. If you have a .doc file, open it in Word or Google Docs and re-save as .docx first.

Will headers and footers be preserved?

Basic headers and footers are carried over. Complex header layouts with images or multiple sections may be simplified.
