About the formats
About DOCX
DOCX is the modern Word format: a ZIP archive of XML describing the text, styles and images of a document. It is normally used for letters, reports, essays and any document still being written. How a DOCX looks depends on the fonts and Word version on the machine opening it, so the same file can reflow elsewhere.
About PDF
PDF fixes a document's layout so it looks the same wherever it is opened, which is why it is the usual format for anything final. It is normally used for contracts, invoices, reports, forms and anything meant to be printed or archived. A PDF is designed to be read rather than edited, so changing the text after the fact is awkward.
What to expect
- Fonts are substituted with metric-compatible equivalents, so line breaks match closely but glyphs are not identical.
What happens to your file
Your file is uploaded to FilesMagic's own conversion servers over an encrypted connection, converted there, and deleted as soon as the download has been sent. We do not keep copies, and we do not log file names or file contents.
Questions
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
Yes. Converting this format needs software that cannot run in a browser, so the file is uploaded to FilesMagic's own servers, converted, and deleted once your download has been sent.
Does converting DOCX to PDF reduce quality?
Neither format discards detail, so the image data survives the conversion intact. Only the file size changes.
How big a file can I convert?
Files can be up to 25 MB. That is generous for this format - if a file is larger than that it is usually because of embedded images, and compressing those before converting normally brings it well under the limit.
