What is the Word to PDF Converter?
A Word to PDF converter turns a .docx document into a PDF that looks the same on every device and can’t be accidentally edited. AnyShift lays out your headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, links, bullet lists, tables and images as real, selectable PDF text with automatic page breaks, using an embedded font that supports accented, Greek and Cyrillic characters.
Choose US Letter or A4, portrait or landscape and your margins. Nothing is uploaded.
How to convert Word to PDF
- Drop your .docx file (Markdown, .txt and .html also work).
- Choose page size (US Letter or A4), orientation and margins.
- Wait a moment while pages are laid out.

Frequently asked questions
Can I convert .doc (Word 97–2003) files?
The browser can’t read the old binary .doc format. Open it in Word or Google Docs, save as .docx, then convert.
Will links still work in the PDF?
Yes. Hyperlinks become clickable links in the PDF and are underlined in blue.
Is the PDF text selectable and searchable?
Yes. Text is written as real PDF text with an embedded font, so it can be selected, searched and read by screen readers and ATS systems.
Why does my PDF look slightly different from Word?
Word uses its own layout engine and fonts such as Calibri. AnyShift keeps the structure and formatting but uses Liberation Sans, so line breaks can shift slightly.
