How to Convert Word to PDF (Free)
A resume that needs to look identical on every device, a report that shouldn't be edited after you send it, a contract you want to lock into its final form — here's how to turn a Word document into a PDF without installing Office.
Steps
- Upload your Word file at Stelluna's Word to PDF — a .docx file, up to 20MB.
- Click "Convert to PDF". Starts the conversion.
- Text and formatting are read. Headings, bold/italic, lists, and tables are picked up.
- A PDF is built right in your browser. Nothing is uploaded anywhere — conversion happens locally.
- Download your PDF. Your Word document, now a PDF.

Open Word to PDFWill images and exact page layout carry over?
Not currently — this tool converts text, headings, formatting, lists, and tables, but images in the document aren't included, and content is reflowed into a standard page layout rather than matching Word's exact positioning. For a text-heavy document (letters, reports, resumes without embedded images), that's rarely noticeable; for a heavily designed flyer, it will be.
