One page, any document
The unified converter handles both formats. DOCX rendering is still a browser-side approximation of Word layout.
Add PDFs or DOCX
Mix both types in one queue. Each file is detected by its extension, then rendered with the matching engine.
Pick format and resolution
PNG is lossless, JPG is smaller. Use merge when one long image per file is easier to share than a folder of pages.
Download the results
Results keep their source file name. Download images one by one or pack everything into a ZIP.

Questions
How does the converter know which file type I dropped?
It checks the file extension. Files ending in .pdf are rendered with the PDF engine; files ending in .docx are laid out and rasterized by the DOCX engine. Other extensions are rejected with a message.
What does merging pages do?
Merge stacks all pages of one source file into a single image. Vertical puts pages one below another; horizontal puts them side by side. With trim whitespace on, each page is cropped to its content plus a small padding before stacking, which removes the empty band at the bottom of A4 pages.
How many files can I convert at once?
You can queue as many files as you like; each one may be up to 200 MB. Multiple files produce multiple outputs, and merged mode produces one image per source file.
Are my documents uploaded?
No by default. Parsing, rendering and image encoding all happen in your browser. Precise mode is opt-in: when you turn it on for a DOCX, that file is uploaded to CloudConvert and the page images are downloaded back; this site keeps no copy.
Why is my DOCX different from the Word version?
The browser-side engine follows the DOCX structure, not Word's layout engine. Fonts installed on your device, page breaks and floating objects can therefore differ. Simple text documents convert best.
