PDF is the safest way to send a document: it opens the same way on every device. If you have a Word file (.docx) and need a PDF, this guide shows how to do it for free, without uploading the file.
This converter focuses on the text of your document. Fonts, images, tables and the exact layout are not preserved, so it works best for text-based documents like letters, notes and simple reports. If your document depends on a precise design, use the Export or Save as PDF option in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs instead.
The tool reads the modern .docx format. If you have an older .doc file, open it in Word and save it as .docx first.
The file is converted in your browser. It is not sent to any server.
You wrote a cover letter in Word. Open Word to PDF, choose the .docx file, tap Convert to PDF and download converted.pdf. You can now attach it to an email or merge it with your CV using Merge PDF. Because PDF looks the same on every device, the recipient will see the text as you intended.
This converter extracts the text of the document and builds a clean PDF. It works well for letters, notes, simple reports and drafts. If your document contains complex tables, special fonts, images or a strict design, use the "Save as PDF" or "Export as PDF" function in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs instead. It keeps the original layout exactly.
If you need to edit a PDF again, use PDF to Word. If you are writing a CV, read our guides to the French CV, German CV and Italian CV. All tools run in your browser, so your documents stay private.
Use a standard font such as Arial, Calibri or Times New Roman, a size of 10-12 pt and clear headings. Keep margins around 2 cm. Put your contact details at the top of letters and add the date. For official documents, save a copy of the original Word file so that you can edit and convert it again when necessary.
Give the PDF a descriptive name, such as Cover_Letter_Maria_Rossi.pdf. When you email it, mention the attachment in the message and check that the file opens before you send. For long documents, add a short summary in the email so that the reader knows what to expect. Check the file size too: most email services accept 20-25 MB, and many portals accept far less.
Letters and contracts often contain personal data. Converting in the browser means your text is never uploaded, so you stay in control of who sees your documents.
