    Drag the .docx from Finder onto this page, or click Choose file.

  2. 2

    Layers renders the pages on its server, so your Mac doesn’t need Word or Pages.

  3. 3

    Fix anything in the editor if needed, then the PDF lands in your Downloads folder.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Microsoft Word on my Mac?

No. The conversion runs in Layers, in Safari, Chrome or Firefox. Word, Pages and LibreOffice are not needed.

Why not just use Print → Save as PDF?

That only works if a program on your Mac can open the .docx correctly. Layers lays the pages out itself and lets you correct the text before the PDF is made.

Will my file be deleted?

Yes. With the default option it is deleted after 2 hours; if you turn it off, it is deleted after 24 hours.

Is the transfer encrypted?

Yes. The browser sends your file over HTTPS. We do not put uploaded files in search indexes.

What does the free PDF contain?

The free PDF includes a small “Made with Layers” line. A clean PDF is available on the Layers Pro plan.
