Frequently asked questions
All answers, in full:
How do I convert Word to PDF without installing anything?
Choose the .docx file, pick the output type and press Convert to PDF. The pages are laid out in your browser and the PDF downloads. Nothing is uploaded.
Which output should I choose: automatic PDF or text PDF?
Automatic PDF draws every page as a picture and can shrink it under a KB limit, which is what job and admission portals want. Its text cannot be selected or searched. Text PDF via Print opens your phone or PC print dialog; choose "Save as PDF" there to get a normal PDF with selectable text and the best quality.
Will the PDF look exactly like my Word document?
For ordinary documents (CV, application, letter, assignment with headings, lists, tables and pictures) the pages match closely, including headers and footers. Complex layouts with text boxes, columns, SmartArt or unusual fonts can shift. Fonts that are not installed on your device are replaced by similar ones.
Can I convert an old .doc file?
Not here: the browser can only read the modern .docx format. Open the .doc in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs, use Save as → .docx, then convert it.
How do I get the PDF under 200 KB for PPSC, NTS or FPSC?
Choose Automatic PDF and the Under 200 KB preset. The tool lowers the picture quality step by step until the file fits and shows the final size. For a text PDF, run the result through Compress PDF.
Does it keep Urdu text?
Yes, Urdu paragraphs are rendered right-to-left as in Word, using the Urdu font installed on your device. If the document uses a Nastaliq font that your phone does not have, a different Urdu font is used and line lengths may change.
Is my document uploaded?
No. The page loads open-source libraries (docx-preview, html2canvas and pdf-lib) from educativz.com and runs them in your browser. Your file never leaves your device and we keep no copy.
