Word to PDF, with a check before it leaves your hands.
A PDF freezes the page exactly as the recipient will see it: including anything you forgot was there. We scan the document first and let you decide what goes out.
We converted one source document into every major output format and measured the file that came out. The source was a 37.4 KB DOCX with headings, bold and italic text, a table, numbered and bulleted lists, and one embedded image.
Sizes are from one representative document converted with Pandoc and LibreOffice. Your own files will differ, especially with more images, but the relative ordering holds.
A PDF has no paragraphs. It stores “draw these glyphs at x, y in this font”, often one word or one line at a time, and a scanned page stores only a picture. Drop any PDF to see which kind you have and what its page instructions look like.
A Word file just names its fonts and hopes the next computer has them. A PDF can carry the fonts inside it, so the page looks the same everywhere. We embed only the characters you actually used, which usually adds 20-60 KB.
The PDF keeps whatever page size Word used. The US and Canada print on Letter; almost everywhere else uses A4. Print one on the other and the printer either shrinks the page or cuts off an edge.
They all open in any PDF reader. The difference is the rules the file promises to follow, and who checks them.
A fresh PDF is often step one of getting a document signed, sent or filed.

Your DOCX to PDF file is sent over an encrypted connection to our servers, converted, and returned to you. Files are processed only to perform the conversion and are not stored or retained afterward, so they are removed automatically once your download is ready.
Most DOCX to PDF conversions finish in under a minute. Expect a longer wait for a bigger file. It runs on your own device either way, with no account step in front of it.
It depends on the pair. Lossless gives you the same thing back, byte for byte. Lossy makes the file smaller and costs you something, though whether you can actually see or hear it is another question.
