When you're done editing a document, PDF is usually the best format for sharing it. Unlike Word files, PDFs look exactly the same on every device, every operating system, and every screen. There are no surprises with missing fonts, broken layouts, or content that shifts around. What you designed is what the recipient sees.
PDFzipp converts Word documents to PDF instantly, right in your browser. The conversion is free, requires no signup, and keeps your files completely private — nothing is uploaded to any server.
How It Works
Open the PDFzipp Word to PDF converter and upload your document. The tool accepts both .docx (modern Word format) and .doc (older format) files. Within seconds, your PDF is ready to download.
The conversion preserves everything: fonts, spacing, images, tables, headers, footers, and page layout. Your document will look exactly as you designed it, locked in a format that displays consistently everywhere.
When to Use PDF
PDF is the right choice whenever you're sharing a finished document. Contracts, proposals, reports, resumes, invoices — anything where you want to control exactly how it appears should go out as a PDF. It's also the professional standard. When someone receives a PDF, they know it's a final version meant for reading, not editing.
PDFs are also better for printing. What you see on screen is what comes out of the printer, with no surprises about margins or page breaks. And for archiving, PDF is the format that will still be readable decades from now.
Keep your documents in Word format while you're still working on them. Word's editing tools, comments, and track changes make collaboration easy. Convert to PDF only when the document is ready to share or archive.
Privacy
PDFzipp processes your conversion entirely in your browser. Your Word document is never uploaded anywhere. This matters for confidential documents — contracts, financials, personal information — where you don't want your files passing through third-party servers.
What's Next
After converting, you might want to combine your PDF with others, compress it for easier emailing, or extract specific pages to share. If you need to make changes later, you can always convert back to Word.
