# Word to PDF online

> Convert DOC or DOCX to PDF locally using the source document’s layout.

Create a stable PDF copy of a Word document before sharing, printing, or archiving it without sending the DOC or DOCX to SunPDF.

The local Office runtime opens the document in the browser and exports a PDF from the layout calculated on your device. The result contains the rendered pages in their current order. The Word source remains unchanged and can be used again.

## Limits to know

Missing fonts, macros, dynamic fields, and complex Office objects can differ from Microsoft Word. Perfect fidelity is not guaranteed.

## When to use this tool

Use the PDF to freeze a letter, contract, or report when recipients need consistent pages and should not edit the source.

## How to check the result

Compare page count, headers, tables, images, and breaks. Open the PDF in a second reader before official use.

## Local processing and privacy

Document processing happens in your browser. SunPDF does not upload your PDF to a server for editing. Closing or refreshing the tab ends the current session.

## Try the example

Fictional file created by SunPDF with no personal data.

Convert the fictional DOCX to PDF. Its heading, list, and small table should appear in the result.
