How to convert Word to PDF with Paperwing
- Open Paperwing, open All tools and choose Create a PDF, then Word to PDF.
- Add your Word documents.
- The first time, Paperwing downloads its document engine once (about 75 MB) and checks it against a SHA-256 hash. After that, it works offline.
- Convert. Each PDF opens in a new tab.
- Press Ctrl+S to save.
What you can do
- Convert DOCX, DOC and ODT to PDF

- Convert 30+ other formats, including images, ebooks, email and Markdown
- Merge the results into one PDF with Merge PDF
Why do it on your computer
The conversion uses LibreOffice’s engine running on your computer, so your documents aren’t sent to an online converter.
Paperwing is a free, open-source desktop app for Windows and macOS with more than 100 PDF tools. It works offline, there’s no account, and every tool is free. Download it or browse all the tools.
Questions
Do I need to install LibreOffice?
No. Paperwing fetches the engine itself the first time you convert an Office file, verifies it, and keeps it for next time.
Does it keep my fonts?
Fonts installed on your computer are used when available. If a document uses a font you don’t have, a similar one takes its place.
