Word naar PDF

Zet .docx-documenten om naar een opgemaakte PDF — koppen, lijsten, tabellen en afbeeldingen. Volledig in je browser.

Tool laden…

A .docx file is a zip of XML that describes structure — this is a heading, this is a bulleted list, this cell belongs to that table. This tool reads that structure and typesets it onto A4 pages: headings keep their level and weight, lists keep their markers and indents, tables keep their columns, and embedded images are placed inline at print resolution.

What it does not do is imitate Microsoft Word's layout engine line for line. Your paragraphs will break in slightly different places, and a document built out of text boxes, newspaper columns or an elaborate header will come out simpler than it went in. For letters, CVs, reports and theses — the documents people actually need as PDFs — that difference is invisible. For a poster laid out by hand in Word, it is not.

How it works

  1. Drop in a .docx file, or pick it from your file manager.
  2. Check the preview: it is a real PDF rendered page by page, not an approximation of one.
  3. Page through it to confirm tables and images landed where you expect.
  4. Download the PDF.

What people use it for

  • Sending a CV as a PDF so the recipient sees the same document you wrote, whatever fonts they have installed.
  • Turning a contract drafted in Word into a fixed file before signing or archiving it.
  • Producing a PDF on a locked-down machine with no Office licence and no permission to install anything.

Frequently asked questions

Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The file is opened by JavaScript and WebAssembly running inside your own browser tab. It is never uploaded, there is no server-side processing and nothing is stored — closing the tab discards everything.
Will the PDF look exactly like it does in Word?
Close, but not identical. The text, headings, lists, tables and images all come across; line and page breaks are recalculated, so a paragraph may end one line earlier or later. Text boxes, multi-column layouts, and complex headers and footers are simplified. If a pixel-perfect copy matters, print to PDF from Word itself.
Are my fonts embedded?
The PDF is typeset with the fonts this site ships, not with the exact font your Word document referenced. That is why the result renders identically everywhere instead of falling back to whatever the reader happens to have — but it does mean a document set in a licensed corporate typeface will not keep it.
Can I convert an old .doc file?
No. The binary .doc format from Word 97-2003 is a different container entirely. Open it in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs and save as .docx first, then convert that.
What happens to tracked changes and comments?
Tracked changes are rendered in their accepted state and comments are dropped, which is normally what you want when producing a final PDF. If you need the markup visible, accept or reject the changes in Word first and turn the comments into ordinary text.
