How to convert DOCX to PDF on Windows

  1. 1

    Select your DOCX files

    In File Explorer or on the desktop, select one DOCX file or as many as you like.

  2. 2

    Hold Ctrl and drag

    Hold Ctrl (or the key you set in Filee) and drag the files. A donut of formats opens at the cursor. Prefer menus? Right-click and choose Convert with Filee.

  3. 3

    Drop on PDF

    Release the files over PDF. A progress ring counts up, and each PDF file is saved next to its original.

What Filee does for DOCX → PDF

No Microsoft Word or LibreOffice needed: Filee reads the DOCX itself and lays out the pages with headers, footers, tables and pictures. Drop several documents on the merge preset to combine them into one PDF.

  • Built in: works right after installing Filee, with nothing else to download.
  • Text that needs shaping (Arabic, Hebrew, Indic scripts, Thai and others) is the exception: DOCX, TXT, Markdown, HTML, XLSX, PPTX and HWPX files with it go to PDF and images through the optional LibreOffice engine. Without LibreOffice, that file fails with a message naming the script instead of becoming a broken PDF.
  • Batch: one file or hundreds, converted in parallel; a failure never stops the rest.
  • Private: files are converted on your PC and never uploaded, even without internet.
  • Saved next to the original, or in a folder and with a file name pattern you choose.

About DOCX and PDF

DOCX

Word document

DOCX is the Microsoft Word format since Word 2007 (Office Open XML). It is the most common format for editable documents such as reports, letters and forms.

Extensions: .docx

All documents formats

PDF

PDF document

PDF is the standard for sharing documents that must look the same everywhere. Fonts, layout and images are fixed, and it opens on any device. That also makes PDFs hard to edit.

Extensions: .pdf
