Convert Word to a fixed, shareable PDF

Is the Word to PDF tool private?

Yes. Your file is uploaded over encrypted HTTPS, processed, handed back, and then deleted — the upload goes the moment the Word to PDF operation finishes and the result the instant you download it, with an hourly sweeper as a backstop. Unlike closed tools that just claim they don't keep your files, Forge Files's code is fully open source, so you can verify exactly how the Word to PDF tool handles your data — or self-host it. No account, no watermark, no upsell. See our privacy details for the full picture.
