Can I convert DOC files (old Word format)?

Yes. Both the modern DOCX format and the legacy DOC format are supported. The conversion engine handles both seamlessly.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes, the maximum file size is 50MB. Most Word documents are well under this limit. Very large files with many images may take up to 30 seconds to convert.

Are my files stored on your server?

No. Files are processed in a temporary directory and deleted immediately after conversion — typically within seconds. We do not store, read, or analyze your documents.

Why convert Word to PDF?

PDFs look the same on every device, cannot be accidentally edited, and are universally accepted for sharing documents. They are ideal for contracts, resumes, reports, and any document that needs to look professional.

Can I convert password-protected Word files?

Currently, password-protected documents are not supported. Remove the password protection first, then upload for conversion.

What about complex layouts with columns and text boxes?

LibreOffice handles most complex layouts well, including multi-column layouts, text boxes, and embedded objects. Very complex designs may have minor differences.

How long does conversion take?

Most documents convert in 2-10 seconds. Larger or more complex documents may take up to 30 seconds. The progress bar shows real-time status.
