Convert
Word to PDF
Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OpenDocument, rendered by a real office engine so tables, columns and page breaks land where they should. The one tool here that sends your file to a server, and it says exactly what happens to it.
This is the one tool here that uploads your file. Word layout can only be rendered by a real office engine, so your document is sent to a virtual machine that is created for your conversion and destroyed the moment it finishes. It is never saved to a disk, never put in storage, and never passed to another company.

Questions
Is my document uploaded?
Yes, and this is the only Ziyarex tool where that is true. Word layout can only be rendered properly by a real office engine, and that is a 400 MB desktop application which cannot run in a browser tab. Every other tool here does its work on your own machine, and their pages say so.
Where does my file actually go?
Into a virtual machine created for your conversion and destroyed when it finishes. The document is written into that machine's memory, converted, and returned to you in the same response. It is never written to a disk on our side, never placed in cloud storage, and never sent to another company's conversion service. By the time your PDF arrives, the machine that held your file no longer exists.
How long do you keep it?
We do not keep it. There is nothing to delete later because nothing is stored in the first place: the whole path is your browser, one temporary machine, and back. We also do not keep the PDF that comes out.
Will the layout survive?
This is LibreOffice doing the rendering, which is the same engine most conversion services use, so tables, columns, headers, footers and page breaks come out where they should. The usual exception is fonts: a document set in a typeface the machine does not have gets a substitute, and substituted fonts change where lines break.
What can it convert?
Word (.docx, .doc), Excel (.xlsx, .xls), PowerPoint (.pptx, .ppt), OpenDocument (.odt, .ods, .odp), rich text, plain text and CSV. All of them to PDF.
Why is there a daily limit?
Because this one genuinely costs money to run — a machine is started for every conversion — and an unlimited public converter is something people script against. 10 a day per visitor is far more than anyone converting their own documents needs, and there is no account and no payment involved.
Can it convert a PDF back to Word?
Not yet. It is possible, but the results on anything with real layout are poor enough that shipping it would be selling you a disappointment. If that changes it will get its own page.
This tool uploads your file, and it is the only one here that does. It is converted inside a machine created for that one job and destroyed straight after, with nothing written to a disk and nothing passed to another company. If that is not a trade you want to make, the PDF editor and the compressor never send anything anywhere.
