Word to PDF — frequently asked questions

Will the fonts and layout survive?

Layout, images and formatting carry into the PDF, rendered page by page so long documents stay consistent. The output keeps its selectable text.

Do hyperlinks and images survive?

Images, text and basic layout carry over page by page. Elaborate layouts — multi-column text boxes, exotic fonts — are approximated: give the result a quick read before sending it out.

Is Word to PDF free?

Yes — Word to PDF is free right here in your browser, with no watermark and no sign-up. Every tool on the site works the same way.

Do I need an account to use Word to PDF?

No. Accounts are optional — they keep your credits, API keys and settings together. The tools work signed-out.

What happens to my file?

Every upload is stored under an unguessable id and deleted automatically after 2 hours. Nothing is listed, shared or emailed anywhere.

Can I run Word to PDF from the API?

Yes — every tool has a REST endpoint. An API call for this tool costs 10 credits per file; browser use stays free. See the Plans & pricing page for plans and the API page for the endpoint list.
