DOCX, DOCM, DOTX, DOC, DOT, ODT, OTT, RTF, Word 2003 XML and documents saved by Word as web pages – up to 25 MB. The real format is detected from the file itself, so links without a file extension work too.
Turn Word documents that live online – in Google Docs, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, Box or on any website – into PDF files without downloading them first. Paste the link and our server fetches the document, converts it with a full office engine, and sends you the PDF. Fonts, tables, images, headers and footers are kept. Free, with no watermark and no sign-up.
Share a fixed PDF version of a Google Doc instead of an editable document. Set the document to "Anyone with the link can view", copy the link and paste it here – no need to open the File › Download menu.
Create a PDF of a OneDrive or SharePoint document for approvals, clients or archives. Use a sharing link that allows anyone with the link to view; links limited to people in your organization cannot be opened from outside.
Received a Dropbox or Box link to a Word file? Paste it here to get a PDF you can read on any device, even without Word installed.
Forms, templates, reports and guides are often published as Word files. Paste the file link – or the address of the page that links to it – and get a PDF that is easy to read, print or archive.
Online documents can be edited, moved or deleted. Converting the link to PDF saves a snapshot of the document exactly as it is today, in a format that stays readable for years.
Instead of sending a link that may need a sign-in or a particular app, attach a PDF that anyone can open. Convert the document link once and send the PDF to clients, teachers or colleagues.
How the converter handles your link and your document.
Sharing and viewer links from Google Docs, Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, Box and GitHub are converted to download links automatically. If a link opens a web page, the tool looks for a Word file linked on that page.
Documents are converted with a full office engine (LibreOffice), which keeps fonts, styles, headings, lists, tables, images, headers, footers, page numbers, margins and page breaks. If a document uses a font that is not available on the server, a similar font is used.
The file type is read from the document itself, not from the link, so links without an extension work. Supported: DOCX, DOCM, DOTX, DOC, DOT, ODT, OTT, RTF, Word 2003 XML and Word web pages.
If something goes wrong you see exactly why: the document is private, the link opens a web page, the file is not a Word document, it is larger than 25 MB, or the website did not respond.
Our server downloads the document from the link, converts it to PDF and deletes both files as soon as the PDF is sent to you. Nothing is kept or shared.
Paste the link to your document and click Convert. Our server downloads the document from the link, converts it to PDF with LibreOffice and sends the PDF back to your browser, where you can preview and download it. Both files are deleted from the server right away.
Google Docs and Google Drive links, OneDrive (1drv.ms and onedrive.live.com), SharePoint and OneDrive for Business sharing links, Dropbox and Box shared links, GitHub file links, Office and Google online viewer links, direct links to Word files on any website, and web pages that link to a Word file.
Yes. Paste the normal link of the document (it can end in /edit). Make sure sharing is set to "Anyone with the link can view". The document is exported as Word and converted to PDF.
Yes, in almost all cases. Fonts, styles, tables, images, headers, footers, page numbers and page breaks are kept. If the document uses a font that is not installed on our server, a similar font is used, which can slightly change line breaks.
Yes. Our server downloads the document from the link only to convert it, and deletes the document and the PDF immediately after sending you the result. Nothing is stored or shared.
The tool can only open documents that are shared publicly. If you see "This document is private", change the sharing setting to "Anyone with the link can view" and try again, or download the file and use our Word to PDF tool instead.
Yes, if the link is an "Anyone with the link" sharing link. Many organizations only allow links for people inside the company; those links require a sign-in and cannot be opened by the tool.
Documents up to 25 MB can be converted. For larger files, download the document and compress its images first, or split it into parts.
Yes. Paste the Dropbox or OneDrive sharing link as it is – the tool switches it to the download version automatically. The link must allow anyone with the link to view the file.
The link leads to a web page instead of a file, and no Word file was found on that page. Copy the direct download link of the file, or the sharing link from Google Docs, OneDrive or Dropbox. Links to apps that need a sign-in, such as iCloud Drive, cannot be opened.
You get a clear message explaining the problem – for example that nothing was found at the link, the website could not be reached, or the file is not a Word document. Check the link and its sharing settings and try again.
Any modern browser on a computer, tablet or phone – Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and others. The conversion runs on our server, so it works the same on slow devices.
The tool converts one link at a time. Click "Convert another link" after each download to convert the next document.
Yes, it is free, with no watermark and no sign-up. To keep the service fast for everyone, each visitor can run up to 15 conversions every 10 minutes, and each document can be up to 25 MB.
You can compress the PDF, protect it with a password, merge it with other PDFs, sign it, add page numbers or a watermark, or convert it back to Word – all with free DonePDF tools.
