How to use it
Drop a Word .docx file here, check the preview, and save it as PDF, HTML, or plain text. Your document stays on your device.
Drop your .docx onto the box above. You’ll see a preview of what was read, then pick PDF, HTML, or plain text and download.
Headings, lists, tables, bold, italics, and links all come across. Plain text is the quickest way to grab the words; HTML is great for pasting onto a website.
About the PDF: it keeps your content and structure, but not Word’s exact page layout — page breaks, margins, headers and footers, and images will differ. If the look matters, like a designed CV, use Word’s own “Save as PDF”.
If anything couldn’t be converted exactly, it’s listed so you can check before you send it.
FAQ
Will the PDF look exactly like my Word document?
No. The words and structure match, but page breaks, margins, headers, footers, and images won’t. For an exact copy, use Word’s “Save as PDF”.
Can it open old .doc files?
No. Save the file as .docx in Word or Google Docs first.
What about password-protected documents?
They can’t be opened without the password.
Are tracked changes and comments included?
No. You get the current text, without comments.
Can anyone else see my document?
No. It’s converted on your device and never sent anywhere.
How it worksFor the curious
A .docx is a zip archive holding the document XML, its style definitions, and a numbering part for lists. It is read with mammoth and mapped to semantic structure, then written out as HTML, plain text, or a PDF typeset with pdf-lib.
Rebuilding Word’s page layout would mean reimplementing Word’s layout engine, so columns, text boxes, headers and footers, and embedded images are not reproduced. Tracked changes resolve to the current text and comments are dropped. Unmapped custom styles are listed.
Legacy .doc files are binary OLE compound files unrelated to .docx; they are detected and explained. Encrypted documents cannot be read without their password.
