My file is .doc, not .docx — what do I do?

Open it in Word or LibreOffice and use Save As → .docx first. The legacy binary format can't be parsed reliably in a browser.

Will images and tables survive?

The output focuses on clean text: headings, lists and paragraphs. Embedded images, complex tables and custom fonts are simplified.

Why convert instead of just printing to PDF from Word?

That works if you have Word installed. This tool is for when you don't — a phone, a Chromebook, a borrowed computer — or when you don't want to upload the file to an online converter.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Every operation runs inside your browser tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Nothing is transmitted to MyToolyard or any third party, and nothing is stored after you close the tab.

Is there a file size or page limit?

There is no artificial limit — the practical ceiling is your device's memory. Files up to roughly 100MB are comfortable on a modern laptop; very large scanned documents are best processed in smaller batches.

Does it work on a phone or tablet?

Yes. The interface is fully responsive and touch-friendly. Very large documents will be slower on mobile because processing uses the device's own CPU and memory.

Word to PDF — Overview

About this tool

What is Word to PDF?

Word to PDF converts .docx documents into clean, universally readable PDFs — the format that looks identical on every device and can't be accidentally edited. Headings, bullet lists and paragraphs are detected from the Word file and re-typeset onto standard Letter pages with tidy margins.

There is also a paste mode for text and Markdown-style notes: lines starting with #, ## or ### become headings, dashes become bullet points, and everything else becomes a paragraph. It is the fastest way to turn rough notes into a presentable PDF.

Conversion happens entirely in your browser using a JavaScript PDF engine. Nothing is uploaded, so confidential drafts, CVs and legal documents stay on your machine from start to finish.
