.docx file.This is the distinction that decides whether the PDF is any good, and it is where a lot of browser-based converters quietly fail.
The easy way to build a PDF from a document is to render it in a hidden browser frame, screenshot it, and paste the picture onto a page. It looks approximately right and it is fast to implement. It also produces a file that cannot be searched, cannot be copied from, cannot be read by a screen reader, and is several times larger than it needs to be — because a page of text stored as an image is enormous compared with a page of text stored as text.
That is not what happens here. The document's structure is read directly and emitted as real text drawn into the PDF. The output is a genuine vector document: selectable, searchable, copyable, accessible, and small. Ctrl+F finds words in it. A screen reader reads it aloud. Text stays perfectly sharp at any zoom, because glyphs are drawn as outlines rather than pixels.
It also means the PDF works with the rest of the toolkit — PDF to Text extracts from it, Edit PDF can click into its words, and Compress PDF has almost nothing to do because there is no bloat to remove.
The converter walks the document's structure and rebuilds it as page content:
The output is a clean, readable, correctly structured document. Where a page carries elaborate print styling — text boxes anchored to precise coordinates, wrapped text flowing around irregular shapes, multi-column magazine layouts — the conversion produces a clear linear document rather than a pixel-exact facsimile, and inline emphasis within a sentence is rendered at paragraph level. For a contract, report, letter, CV, invoice or assignment, which is what nearly everyone is converting, that is precisely the result you want: something that reads correctly, searches correctly, and prints correctly anywhere.
When a specific layout has to be reproduced exactly — a designed brochure, a template with fixed positioning — the reliable route is your word processor's own Save as PDF or Print to PDF, which uses the same layout engine that drew the document on screen. Bring the result back here for merging, compressing, signing or protecting.
.docx reflows depending on the reader's fonts, version and page setup. A PDF does not — what you send is what they see..docx can hold tracked changes, comments and author names. Converting leaves the visible document. Check the properties afterwards with Edit Metadata to finish the job.Converting is usually one step in a sequence. Merge PDF joins the result to other documents — a covering letter plus a CV plus certificates as one file. Sign PDF adds a signature without printing anything. Add Page Numbers stamps a correct sequence over an assembled bundle. Protect PDF encrypts it with AES-256 before it goes out. And Edit Metadata sets a sensible title and author, since converted files often inherit the account name of whoever created the original.
Coming the other way, PDF to Word rebuilds an editable .docx from a PDF, with headings mapped to Word styles, real tables and paragraph reflow.
The PDF uses standard fonts that every reader already has, which keeps the file small and guarantees it opens correctly on any device. Sizes, headings and the document's visual hierarchy are preserved. When an exact corporate typeface is essential, your word processor's own Save as PDF embeds it — bring that file back here for any further work.
Yes. The output contains real text drawn into the page, not an image of the page, so it is fully searchable, selectable, copyable and readable by screen readers — and the file stays small for the same reason.
Yes — in Google Docs choose File → Download → Microsoft Word (.docx) and drop that here. The same applies to Pages, LibreOffice Writer and WPS: export or save as .docx first.
Converting produces a static PDF, so macros do not carry across — which is the safe outcome, since a PDF should not be running code. For a document protected with an opening password, remove that in Word first, then convert.
The tool reads the modern .docx format. Open an older .doc in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs and save it as .docx — a few seconds, and it also gets you a file that current software handles properly.
The conversion takes the document's content, so editorial mark-up is not carried into the PDF. Accept or reject tracked changes in Word before converting if the final wording matters, and check the document properties afterwards with Edit Metadata.
No fixed limit. Because the output is real text rather than page images, even long documents convert quickly and produce compact files. Very large documents with many embedded images take longer, since each image is decoded and placed.
No. The .docx is read and the PDF written entirely inside this browser tab, then handed to your downloads. Contracts, CVs and letters stay on your machine — disconnect from the network first and the conversion still runs.
Privacy: Conversion runs in your browser using mammoth.js + jsPDF, emitting real selectable text rather than a picture of the page. Your document never leaves your device — confidential drafts stay on your machine.
