Word to PDF
Turn Word documents into PDFs that look the same on almost any screen.
Send a CV, a letter or a report as a PDF and it looks the way you made it on almost any phone, computer or printer. DOC, ODT and RTF files work too.
Almost any file
Images, vector art, video, audio, documents, spreadsheets, slides, ebooks and archives: more than 400 conversions. Before anything runs, Filebender says what a conversion will lose and estimates the size of video, audio and many pictures; other files show their size once converted. It compresses PDFs, pictures and videos to the size you choose.
No ads, no watermarks
With a free account: 20 files a day, 2 of them videos, each up to 500 MB. No plan has ads, and nothing is stamped on your files. A pass is one payment that never renews, and one you haven't used can be refunded in full.
Private by default
Files are deleted an hour after converting, or at once when you ask, and photo location is removed unless you choose to keep it. Photos converted to JPG, PNG or WebP are done on your device when your browser can, so they never leave it. They still need your account and count towards your plan.
How to convert Word to PDF
- Create a free account with Google or your email address, or sign in.
- Choose your files: drop them on the box, pick them from your computer, open them from Google Drive, or paste a link.
- Pick the format each file should become. The gear button has size, quality and other settings.
- Press “Convert”, then download each file, or all of them in one ZIP.
What the PDF keeps
The layout, headings, lists, tables, pictures, headers and footers stay where they were, and links stay clickable. If the document still has tracked changes, accept or reject them first, so the PDF shows the finished text.
Fonts
The fonts are embedded, so the PDF looks the same wherever it's opened. A font the server doesn't have, such as one you bought, is swapped for a close match, which can move line and page breaks slightly.
Settings that matter
The page size can stay as the document sets it, or become A4 or Letter, with each page scaled to fit. To send by email, lower the pictures inside to Email (72 DPI) or give a size in MB to get under; the Email preset aims for 10 MB.

Questions
Why did my text move to another page?
Usually a font was swapped for a close match with slightly different letter widths. Common fonts, or fonts embedded in the document, usually keep the breaks where you put them.
Can I convert several documents at once?
Yes. Each becomes its own PDF and counts as one file. To join them into one PDF afterwards, use Merge PDF.
Does it work with old DOC files?
Yes, and with ODT and RTF too. Very old files may lose some formatting; if one is refused as damaged, open it and save it again in a word processor, then convert that copy.
Can I add a password to the PDF?
Not on Filebender. The PDF opens for anyone who has it, so share it the way you would the document itself.
Is Filebender free?
Yes, with a free account: 20 files every day (up to 2 of them videos), each up to 500 MB, with no watermark and no ads. Make the account with Google or your email address. Files converted on your device count the same way as the rest. If you need more, a Day, Week or Month Pass is one payment that never renews; see the Pricing page.
What happens to my files?
It depends on the file. Pictures your browser can convert itself, and everything you do with the PDF tools, from merging and splitting PDFs to putting photos into one, are handled on your device and never leave it, unless you choose to send a file to Filebender's servers. They still need your account: Filebender receives only their type and size, to count them against your plan like any other file. Everything else is converted on Filebender's servers on Google Cloud and deleted an hour after the conversion finishes, or straight away when you press “Delete files now”. Nobody looks at your files, and they're never used for anything else.
