How this Word/Excel to PDF converter works
Your file is read and converted to formatted HTML directly in your browser — Word documents using a layout engine that reproduces headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, and images, and Excel files as a styled table per sheet. That preview is then handed to your browser's built-in print function, where choosing "Save as PDF" produces a genuine PDF with selectable, searchable text — the same quality you'd get printing any web page to PDF.
Tips
- Complex Word layouts (multi-column sections, text boxes, certain styles) may render slightly differently than in Word itself, since the browser is doing the layout.
- For Excel files, each sheet appears on its own page in the preview and PDF. Very wide sheets may be cut off — consider using Letter or A4 landscape printing settings in the print dialog if needed.
- Choosing "Save as PDF" (not a physical printer) is what creates the PDF file.
Will the PDF text be selectable and searchable?
Yes — because the PDF is generated by your browser's print engine from real HTML text, the resulting PDF contains selectable, searchable text rather than an image of the page.
Do you store or see my document?
No. The file is read and converted entirely in your browser. It is never uploaded anywhere.
What if my document has complex formatting?
Most everyday documents — letters, reports, resumes, simple spreadsheets — convert cleanly. Highly complex layouts (heavy use of text boxes, columns, or unusual styles) may not be pixel-perfect, since the browser re-lays-out the content as HTML rather than copying the original page layout exactly.
