Frequently asked questions

Is my document uploaded anywhere?

No — unlike most online converters, the .docx file is read and converted entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded, which matters for contracts, invoices and anything confidential.

Does it keep my formatting?

Yes. It reads the Word file itself rather than a simplified web version of it, so the PDF keeps your page size and margins, headings, bold, italic and underline, type sizes and colours, centred and right-aligned text, indents, bullet and numbered lists, tables with their column widths and shading, and your images.

Can I select and search the text in the PDF?

Yes. The text is written into the PDF as text, not as a picture of your document, so you can select it, search it, copy from it and it stays sharp at any zoom or print size. That also keeps the file small — usually tens of kilobytes rather than several megabytes.

Where do the page breaks fall?

Between lines, never through them. A long table carries its header row onto the next page, and a manual page break in your Word document is honoured.

Which fonts does the PDF use?

PDF readers are guaranteed to have a serif, a sans-serif and a monospace face, so each of your fonts is matched to the closest of the three at the same size and weight. The layout, spacing and line breaks follow your document; the letterforms may differ slightly from your exact typeface.

Does it work with old .doc files?

Only .docx (Word 2007 and newer). For an old .doc, open it in Word or Google Docs and save as .docx first.

Need the other direction?

Yes — use our PDF to Word converter to turn a PDF back into an editable .docx, also entirely in your browser.
