Frequently Asked Questions

View Full FAQ
What Word formats are supported?

We support Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx), OpenDocument Text (.odt), and Rich Text Format (.rtf) files. All formats will be converted to high-quality PDFs.

Will formatting be preserved?

We preserve formatting, images, tables, and layout as faithfully as possible. Documents that use uncommon fonts may see minor font substitutions — embedding fonts in your Word file gives the closest match.

Will the layout stay the same?

The PDF closely matches your document's layout, margins, headers, footers, and page breaks. Very complex layouts or uncommon fonts may shift slightly.

What are the file size limits?

You can convert Word documents up to 50MB in size. There's no limit on the number of pages, but larger files may take longer to process.

Is my document secure?

Yes. Your files are processed securely and never stored — Files are deleted from our servers within 1 hour — most immediately after processing. We never read or share your documents.

Is this really free?

Yes, completely free! No sign-up, no credit card, no hidden fees. Convert as many Word documents to PDF as you need.

How to convert Word to PDF online

Upload your Word document by clicking the select button or dragging it onto the upload area, click "Convert to PDF", and download the result. Conversion takes seconds for typical documents. No account or email is required, and there is no watermark.

Which file formats are supported?

Microsoft Word .doc and .docx, OpenDocument .odt, and Rich Text Format .rtf. All of them convert to a standard PDF that opens anywhere. Files can be up to 50MB.

Is the Word to PDF converter really free?

Yes. No watermark on the PDF, no page limits, no conversion quota that pushes you to a paid plan, and no sign-up. The technical limits are 50MB per file and about 10 conversions per 15 minutes.

Is it safe to upload my document?

Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, document contents are never read, stored, or shared, and files are deleted from our servers within one hour, most immediately after processing. No account is needed. We use Google Analytics for aggregate, anonymous usage measurement only.

Why does my PDF look slightly different from the Word file?

Almost always fonts. If your document uses a font that is not available on the conversion server, a similar font is substituted, which can shift line breaks and page breaks. Using widely available fonts, or checking the PDF before sharing it, avoids surprises.

Are hyperlinks, tables of contents, and page numbers kept?

Yes for the common cases: hyperlinks remain clickable, page numbers and headers and footers are rendered, and a generated table of contents converts as it appeared when the file was last saved. Dynamic fields are rendered at their last-updated values.

Does it work with Arabic Word documents?

Yes. The LibreOffice engine has mature right-to-left support, so Arabic text direction, alignment, and letter joining convert correctly. The main caveat is fonts: if your Arabic font is not available on the server, a substitute is used, which can slightly change the look.

Can I convert a password-protected Word document?

No. A password-protected Word file cannot be opened by the converter. Remove the password in Word first (File > Info > Protect Document), convert it here, and then, if you want protection back, use the BlendPDF protect tool to encrypt the PDF with AES-256.

How do I password-protect the PDF I create?

Convert your document first, then run the result through the BlendPDF protect tool, which applies real AES-256 encryption with a password you choose. Together the two tools take under a minute.

Can I edit the PDF afterward, or convert it back to Word?

PDFs are not meant for heavy editing, so keep your original Word file as the master copy. If you no longer have it, the BlendPDF PDF to Word tool converts the PDF back to an editable DOCX, faithfully for typical documents though not always identically.

Why use this instead of Word's built-in Save as PDF?

If you have desktop Word, its built-in PDF export is excellent and you should feel free to use it. BlendPDF is for everyone else: no Word license, working on a phone or a locked-down computer, converting .odt or .rtf files, or needing a quick conversion without opening an editor.

What should I check before and after converting?

Before: accept or reject tracked changes and delete stray comments, since the PDF renders the document as it would print. After: skim the PDF for font substitutions or shifted page breaks. If something fails, check the file opens in a word processor and is under 50MB.
