LovelyPDF converts your .docx file to PDF entirely in the browser using mammoth.js to parse the document and the browser's built-in print engine to generate the PDF. No Microsoft Office, no LibreOffice, no server, no account. Your Word file is read locally and never transmitted anywhere.
Headings, paragraphs, bullet lists, numbered lists, bold/italic/underline, basic tables, and hyperlinks all convert reliably. Custom fonts embedded in the .docx file may not render in the browser (the browser substitutes a similar font). Complex layouts — multi-column sections, floating text boxes, and precise image placement — may not position exactly as in Word.
For documents where exact pixel-level layout fidelity matters (like designed certificates or letterheads), the best approach is to open in Microsoft Word or LibreOffice and use their native Save as PDF function.
Does my Word file get uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your .docx file is never sent anywhere — no upload, no account, no server processing.
My file is .doc, not .docx — will this work?
Only .docx (Office Open XML format) is supported. If you have a .doc file, open it in Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Writer, or Google Docs and save it as .docx first, then convert here.
My resume has a custom font — will it show correctly in the PDF?
If the font is not a standard web font, the browser will substitute the closest available font. For resume PDFs where typography matters, convert using Word's built-in Export to PDF feature.
Can I convert a Word file with a company letterhead or logo?
Yes. Inline images and logos embedded in the .docx convert correctly. Floating images (positioned independently of text flow) may shift slightly.
Conversion runs entirely in your browser using mammoth.js and the browser's built-in print engine — your .docx file never leaves your device. Resumes, cover letters, contracts, and business proposals that you convert here are never transmitted to any server or stored in any cloud service. The document is read locally, rendered in memory, and downloaded directly.
No account or subscription is required. The full conversion — including tables, lists, inline images, and hyperlinks — is available without registration. There is no watermark on the output PDF and no limit on how many documents you can convert per session.
The tool works on any device with a modern browser — no Microsoft Word, no LibreOffice, and no additional software installation needed. Convert a resume on your phone before sending a job application, or convert a report on a computer that does not have Office installed. The resulting PDF opens in any standard PDF reader on any platform.
No — conversion runs entirely in your browser using mammoth.js and the browser's built-in PDF renderer. Your .docx file is read from your local storage, processed in memory, and the PDF is written directly to your downloads folder. No upload occurs at any stage and no copy of your document exists anywhere outside your device.
Headings, paragraphs, bullet lists, numbered lists, bold/italic/underline, basic tables, and inline images all convert reliably. Complex layouts — floating text boxes, multi-column sections, and precise image positioning — may not match Word's layout exactly because the browser's rendering engine uses different layout rules than Word's print engine. For pixel-level fidelity on designed documents, use Word's native File → Save as PDF or Export to PDF function.
Only .docx — Office Open XML format — is supported. If you have a .doc file (older binary format), open it in Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Writer, or Google Docs and save it as .docx first. The .docx format has been the default Word format since Office 2007, so most modern documents will already be in the correct format.
If the font is not a standard web font available in the browser, the browser will substitute the closest available font. For resumes and documents where typography is critical, convert using Word's built-in Export to PDF — that uses the actual embedded fonts in the .docx and produces an exact match. For standard fonts like Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman, the browser substitution is close enough for most purposes.
