Headings, bold and italic text, bulleted and numbered lists, tables and embedded images all carry over. The document is rebuilt from its underlying markup rather than screenshotted.
Set A4, Letter, Legal or A5, choose portrait or landscape, pick your margins, body size, font and line spacing, and add page numbers before exporting.
Contracts, CVs, invoices and medical letters are exactly the files you should not upload to an unknown server. Everything here is processed by your own browser.

FAQ
DOCX, the format Microsoft Word has used since 2007 and the one Google Docs and LibreOffice export by default. The older binary DOC format is not supported; open it in Word or LibreOffice and save it as DOCX first.
Yes. Documents containing Arabic, Hebrew or other right-to-left scripts are automatically detected and rendered with a mode that lets the browser draw the letters natively, so joined letters and right-to-left order come out correctly, not as separate or reordered characters. Latin-only documents use a faster rendering path. If a specific browser cannot complete this for an Arabic document, you will see a clear message rather than a broken or empty file - Google Chrome tends to be the most reliable choice.
Structure is preserved: headings, bold, italic, underline, bulleted and numbered lists, tables, links and embedded images all come through. What is not carried over are Word-specific layout features such as text boxes, columns, floating shapes, footnotes and section breaks, because those are properties of the Office Open XML layout engine rather than of the content itself. For a standard document, letter, CV or report, the result matches closely.
Because the document is rebuilt rather than photographed, the page setup becomes yours to decide. This is genuinely useful: a CV written on US Letter can be exported to A4 for a European employer, and a cramped document can be given wider margins without editing the original.
The PDF is produced by rendering the laid-out pages, so text is embedded as part of the page image rather than as a separate text layer. It looks and prints identically at any zoom level, but it is not selectable. If you need selectable text, use Word's own built-in export instead.
A PDF locks the layout in place. A .docx file gets reflowed by whichever program opens it, so fonts can be substituted and page breaks move. When you convert Word to PDF, the page looks identical on every device, and the file can no longer be casually edited.
Every page is rendered individually at the quality you selected, using your own processor. A two-page letter converts in seconds; a hundred-page report at maximum quality can take a few minutes and use significant memory.
Not in a single pass, because each document needs its own page setup. Converting them one after another is quick, since there is no upload step between them.
It rebuilds the document from its underlying markup. A DOCX file is a zipped XML package, so headings stay headings, lists stay lists, and tables keep their rows and columns. Bold, italic, hyperlinks and embedded images all survive the conversion.
Export to A4, US Letter, Legal or A5, switch between portrait and landscape, choose narrow, normal or wide margins, set the body text size and line spacing, pick a document font, and add automatic page numbers. The output matches exactly what you set, since the layout is rebuilt rather than copied from Word.
No, and it is worth knowing before you convert. The PDF is produced by rendering laid-out pages, so it looks and prints identically at any zoom, but the text is not selectable or searchable. If you need a searchable text layer, use Word's own export function instead.
No. Word documents are usually contracts, CVs, invoices or reports, which is exactly why nothing is transmitted at any stage. The DOCX file is unzipped, parsed and rendered entirely inside your browser.
