# Word to PDF Converter — DOCX Without Uploading

> Convert a Word .docx file to PDF entirely in your browser — headings, lists and tables intact.

To convert Word to PDF without uploading, drop a .docx file in. The document is a ZIP of XML underneath, so its paragraphs, heading styles, lists and tables are read directly in your browser and typeset into a PDF. Every other online converter uploads your document to a server; this one does not, which matters for contracts and HR files.

## FAQ

### Will the PDF look exactly like my Word document?

No, and it is worth being clear about that. This reads the document's structure and typesets it cleanly — headings, lists, tables and paragraphs in the order they appear. Exact fonts, columns, floating images, headers and footers are not reproduced. For a pixel-faithful copy, Word's own Save as PDF is the right tool; this exists for when you cannot or would rather not upload the file.

### Why can I not convert a .doc file?

The old .doc format is a binary Microsoft compound document with no browser-readable structure. .docx has been the default since Word 2007 and is a ZIP of XML, which is why it can be read here. Open the .doc in Word or LibreOffice and save it as .docx first.

### What happens to images in the document?

They are not carried across in this version — the text structure is. Images live in word/media/ inside the file, and the ZIP extractor will pull them out at full resolution if you need them.
