How to convert an Office document to PDF, step by step
This tool rebuilds the layout of your Word, Excel and PowerPoint files inside a PDF with real text, instead of photographing your pages.
Drop your Word, Excel or PowerPoint files
Drag one or several .docx, .xlsx or .pptx files onto the drop area, or click to browse for them. You can convert several documents at once.
Remove anything you don’t want converted
Each added file appears in a list with its size; clicking the trash icon removes it before conversion, or “Remove all” clears the list.
Start the conversion
Click “Convert to PDF”. VellumPDF rebuilds the layout from the document’s actual content: headings, bold text, lists, tables and images are carried over, with selectable and searchable text in the result.
Download the resulting PDF or PDFs
A single file downloads directly; several files converted together are delivered in a ZIP archive, with a button to fetch each one separately.
Check the list of what wasn’t carried over
If some layout elements couldn’t be rebuilt — a column, a chart, a floating text box — they’re listed under the result, so you know exactly what to check.
The old .doc, .xls and .ppt formats aren’t supported: open the file in Word, Excel or PowerPoint, save it as .docx, .xlsx or .pptx, then convert again. The original fonts aren’t embedded, which can slightly shift text spacing.
Frequently asked questions
Is my Word or Excel document sent to a server?
No. The file is opened and converted by your browser, on your device: not a single byte of the document is sent, and nothing is stored. A contract, a payslip or a class list therefore never leaves the machine. Only fonts may be downloaded, if the document needs them: Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic or Hebrew from VellumPDF, Chinese, Japanese or Korean from GitHub, announced before the conversion.
How faithful is the result to the original document?
The layout is rebuilt from what the file actually contains; it is not photographed. A letter, a report, an invoice, a spreadsheet or a plain deck come out very close to the original: headings, bold and italic, lists, tables, images, alignment, page breaks, headers and footers are all carried over. An elaborate design — columns, floating text boxes, charts — will shift: every element that is left out is listed after the conversion, so you know exactly what is missing.
Do the old .doc, .xls and .ppt files work?
No. Those three extensions denote an old binary format, very different from today’s files. Open the document in Word, Excel, PowerPoint or LibreOffice, save it as .docx, .xlsx or .pptx, then run the conversion again.
Does the PDF keep the document’s fonts and accents?
Accents and the everyday characters of French, German and Italian are preserved as they are. The original fonts, however, are not embedded: the PDF uses a standard font, which keeps the file small, so text spacing may shift slightly. Other alphabets get an open font (Noto, IBM Plex for Arabic), loaded only when they are present: Greek, Cyrillic, Central European letters, Arabic and Hebrew (right to left), Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
How does the conversion work technically?
A .docx, .xlsx or .pptx file is a ZIP archive full of XML (the OOXML format). VellumPDF opens that archive, reads the structure written in the document — paragraphs, styles, cells, slides — then draws the PDF page by page. The result holds real text, selectable and searchable, rather than a picture of the pages: the file stays small and its content stays copyable.
