How to Convert Word to PDF on iPhone, Mac & Windows (Free)

July 6, 2026

Need to send a résumé, hand in an assignment, or share a contract? Turning a Word document into a PDF locks your formatting so it looks the same on every device — and it’s the format almost everyone expects. Here’s how to do it free on any device, with no watermark.

The fastest way (any device)

If you just want it done, use a browser — there’s nothing to install:

Open PDFComet’s Word to PDF converter.
Drop in your .docx (or .doc) file.
Download your PDF. Your file is deleted automatically within 20 minutes.

It works the same in Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android, or any browser on Mac and Windows.

On iPhone & iPad

Your options depend on which apps you have:

Microsoft Word app: open the document, tap the ••• menu → Export → PDF.
Apple Pages: open the .docx in Pages (it converts automatically), then tap ••• → Export → PDF.
No Office apps? Just open PDFComet in Safari and convert it there.

On Mac

Microsoft Word: File → Save As (or Export) → choose PDF.
Pages: File → Export To → PDF.
Any app: File → Print → PDF ▾ → Save as PDF — the built-in macOS trick that works from almost anywhere.

On Windows

Microsoft Word: File → Save As → pick PDF from the file-type list, or File → Export → Create PDF/XPS.
No Word installed? Open the document in your browser with PDFComet, or use Print → Microsoft Print to PDF from any app that can open it.

Keep your formatting intact

To make sure the PDF matches your document:

Use fonts that are installed on your device, or embed them in Word before exporting.
Check page breaks and margins in Print Preview first.
If you convert online, a server-side renderer like PDFComet keeps fonts, tables, images and clickable links in place — what you see in Word is what you get.

Which method should you use?

If Word or Pages is already open, their built-in export is one click away. If you’re on a borrowed computer, a phone without Office, or you just want the quickest path, a free browser converter is easiest — no install, no account, no watermark.
