Is my document uploaded anywhere?

No. Your files never leave your device The .docx is unzipped, laid out and written to PDF entirely inside your browser tab. That matters more here than for most file types, because the documents people convert are contracts, offer letters, medical forms and CVs — the exact things you should not be emailing to an unknown server.

Will my formatting survive the conversion?

Headings, bold and italic, alignment, indents and line spacing, bulleted and numbered lists including nesting, tables with merged cells and repeating header rows, inline images, page breaks, margins, and headers and footers all carry across. Page numbers are recalculated for the new pagination rather than copied, so a footer reading “Page 3 of 12” is correct in the PDF instead of showing whatever Word last cached.

What does it not carry over?

Equations become plain text, multi-column sections convert as a single column, floating images and text boxes are placed inline where they were anchored, and footnotes are collected at the end rather than at the foot of each page. Every one of these is reported after the conversion — the tool tells you what changed instead of handing back a file that looks complete and is not.

Do you support .doc as well as .docx?

Only .docx. The older .doc is a completely different binary format, not a zipped XML package, and converting it accurately in a browser is not something anyone does well. If you upload one, the tool says so and tells you to re-save it as .docx first, rather than producing a broken file.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The conversion runs on your device, so the limit is your phone's memory rather than an upload size cap. Long documents take a few seconds; the tool loads only the code it needs when you pick a file, so the page itself stays light.

Will the text still be selectable and searchable?

Yes. The PDF contains real text with embedded fonts, not a picture of your document. You can select, copy, search and use a screen reader on it, and headings become PDF bookmarks so a long report is navigable.

What about languages other than English?

Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and emoji are all supported. The matching font is fetched only when your document actually contains that script, so an English document never downloads a 10 MB Chinese font.

Every other converter uploads your contract

The standard way to build this is to send the file to a server, run LibreOffice on it, and send a PDF back. It is a reasonable engineering decision and a poor privacy one — because of what people convert. Word documents are offer letters, settlement agreements, medical forms, tenancy contracts and CVs.

Handing one of those to a free website means trusting an unknown company with a document you would not email to a stranger, and most of them are quiet about how long the file is kept. This converter reads the .docx, lays it out and writes the PDF inside your own browser tab. There is no upload to trust, because there is no upload.

Formatting that actually survives

A conversion is only useful if the document still looks like the document. Headings keep their weight and become PDF bookmarks so a long report is navigable. Tables keep merged cells, shading and repeating header rows across page breaks. Numbered lists keep their real numbering — including the fact that Word counts a, b, … z, aa, bb rather than aa, ab, ac, which is where most converters start printing the wrong letters past twenty-six items.

Page-number fields are recalculated rather than copied. A footer that says “Page 3 of 12” is a stored value in the .docx, stale the moment the document is re-paginated; here it is computed once the PDF's real page count is known.

And it tells you what changed

Some things cannot be carried across faithfully. Equations become plain text. Multi-column sections become a single column. Text boxes and floating images land inline where they were anchored, because losing their position is better than losing their contents. Footnotes are gathered at the end of the document.

Every one of these is listed after the conversion. A converter that silently drops an equation gives you a file that looks finished and is not — which you discover after sending it. Being told is the whole point.

After converting

Need the PDF smaller for an upload limit? Use Compress PDF, which shrinks images without turning your text into pictures. Need to combine it with other documents, or add a watermark? Organize PDF merges, reorders, rotates and numbers pages. Need to remove a name or a figure before sharing it? Redact PDF deletes the text from the file rather than covering it with a box.
