How to convert DOCX to PDF
Turning a Word document into a PDF locks its layout so it looks the same on every computer and phone, which is what most job applications, schools and offices ask for.
- Drop your DOCX file into the box above, or add it from a link.
- PDF is already selected. Use the settings button next to it to change size, quality or other options.
- Select Convert, then download your PDF file.
To do this from your own code, call the FileForge API with "output_format": "pdf".
Good to know
- Fonts the document uses are embedded in the PDF when available; unusual fonts may be replaced by similar ones.
- Hyperlinks, headings and images are kept.
- Track changes and comments aren't shown unless they're accepted in the document first.
About the formats
.docx
DOCX is the Microsoft Word format since Word 2007. It's editable and opens in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages.
PDF is the standard for sharing documents that must look the same everywhere. Layout, fonts and images are fixed, which is great for reading and printing but makes PDFs hard to edit.
Questions
Why does my PDF look slightly different from Word?
The conversion uses LibreOffice. Very complex layouts or fonts that aren't installed can shift slightly; standard documents convert faithfully.
Can I convert several Word files at once?
Yes. Add them together and download the PDFs in one ZIP.
Are my documents private?
Your files are uploaded over HTTPS to a private link only you have. Originals and results are deleted automatically after 24 hours, or straight away when you remove them.
