Yes. MyPDF converts both .docx (modern) and .doc (legacy) formats to PDF.

Are my documents kept private?

All files are encrypted during transfer and automatically deleted from our servers after 15 minutes.

Can I convert multiple Word files at once?

Yes, upload multiple files for batch conversion. Each file becomes a separate PDF.
