GetFormatted

Word, Excel and PowerPoint to PDF

Convert a Word, Excel or PowerPoint document to PDF. This one tool uploads your file to our converter, which does not keep it.

How it works

  1. Sign in. It is free.
  2. Add your Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF or text file.
  3. Press Upload and convert.
  4. Download the PDF.

This tool uploads your file

Every other tool on this site keeps your files on your device. This one cannot: laying out a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file needs a full office engine, which runs on our converter. Your document is sent over an encrypted connection, converted, returned as a PDF and not kept. Nothing about its contents is logged.

If a document is sensitive, you may prefer to export it to PDF from the program that made it, then use Password protect a PDF or Redact a PDF, which stay on your device.

What to expect

  • Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF and plain text files up to 4 MB.
  • The layout is produced by LibreOffice. A document with unusual fonts, macros or very complex formatting can look different from how Microsoft Office shows it.
  • Password-protected documents cannot be converted. Remove the password first.
  • The free plan converts 3 documents a day, and GetFormatted Pro converts up to 100 a day.

Good to know

  • Your document is uploaded to our converter to be laid out, and is not stored. This is the one tool that does this.
  • Layout is produced by LibreOffice, so a document that relies on unusual fonts, macros or very complex formatting can look different from how Microsoft Office shows it.
  • Documents up to 4 MB. Password-protected documents cannot be converted: remove the password first.
  • A signed-in account is needed. The free plan converts 3 documents a day and GetFormatted Pro converts up to 100.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free to convert Word to PDF here?
Yes. A free account converts 3 documents a day, and GetFormatted Pro converts up to 100 a day.
Is my document uploaded?
Yes, for this tool only. It is sent to our converter, turned into a PDF and returned. It is not stored. Every other tool keeps your files on your device.
Why do I have to sign in?
Because converting runs on a server we pay for, an account stops it being abused and lets us count your daily conversions.
Will it look exactly like it does in Word?
Usually close, but not always. The layout comes from LibreOffice, so documents with unusual fonts or complex formatting can differ.
Can it convert a password-protected document?
No. Remove the password in the program that made it, then convert.
How big can the document be?
Up to 4 MB.
