Word to PDF
Upload a Word document and receive a tracked, shareable PDF link in seconds—no manual conversion needed.
EveryPage accepts Word documents (.docx) and converts them to PDF in flight, storing the result as a fully-featured PDF so every tracking, sharing, and reader interaction feature works identically to a native upload. You get a shareable link immediately—no desktop software required.
How Word conversion works
When you upload a .docx file, EveryPage checks that it carries the Zip container signature every OOXML document has, streams it to a LibreOffice conversion service, and stores the resulting PDF. From that point on, the document behaves exactly like any other PDF: you can share it with a tracked link, watermark it, add hotspots, capture lead data, or enable commenting, depending on your plan.
Conversion is available to all EveryPage users on every plan, including the free tier. Your document is converted once, during the upload request, and the share link is returned in the upload response.
File size and format requirements
Your Word document must be a .docx file (the modern OOXML Word format, standard since Microsoft Office 2007). Legacy .doc files (pre-2007 binary format) are not accepted—save your document as .docx and upload again. PowerPoint is the exception to this rule: legacy .ppt files are accepted. See PowerPoint to PDF.
Two separate caps apply:
- The source cap: 25MB. This is the limit on the
.docxyou upload, and it is the same on every plan. - Your plan's per-file upload cap. This applies to the whole upload request and to the converted PDF that gets stored. On the free plan it is 20MB, so a free-plan Word upload is effectively limited to 20MB—the plan cap is reached before the 25MB source cap. See plans and limits for your tier's figure.
If your document exceeds whichever cap applies to you, export it as a PDF from Word and upload the PDF directly instead.
Conversion fidelity
LibreOffice handles the conversion, so complex layouts, embedded graphics, embedded fonts, tracked changes, and other advanced Word features may render differently in the resulting PDF than they appear in Microsoft Word. The document is readable and usable, but visual fidelity is not guaranteed pixel-for-pixel.
Before sharing a document publicly, download the PDF and check that it looks correct. If the conversion does not meet your needs, export the document as a PDF from Word and upload that instead—you have direct control over how Word renders it.
Availability
Conversion depends on the document conversion service being reachable. When it is not configured, uploads are PDF-only and the upload screen does not advertise Word or PowerPoint support—a .docx is rejected with "Only PDF files are allowed". When it is configured but temporarily unreachable or overloaded, the upload fails with "Document conversion is temporarily unavailable"; your document is fine and the same upload will work once the service recovers.
GET /api/upload/options reports the current state as convertEnabled, along with the source caps for Word (docxMaxBytes) and PowerPoint (pptMaxBytes).
Next steps
Once your document is converted and stored, you can:
- Share the tracked link with readers and monitor who opened it.
- Set a custom viewer mode (Flipbook, Magazine, or another style).
- Add password protection or an email gate.
- Enable a watermark with the reader's email.
- Add interactive hotspots (Pro).
