Convert Word documents to PDF directly from URLs
Append ?url= followed by a .docx file address and the converter opens with that file already loaded — no upload step. Files are fetched server-side, so browser CORS rules don't apply.
How to use
Single Word file
The page loads, the server fetches the .docx, and the converter opens with the file ready to convert.

Multiple Word files
Repeat the ?url= parameter for as many files as you need. Each one becomes its own PDF, or all of them one combined PDF if you toggle that option.

Server-side fetch · No CORS restrictions · Same converter, instant load
Why pass URLs instead of uploading?
Skip the upload step
When you already have a URL — from your CDN, a SharePoint link, or a public bucket — there's no reason to download the file just to upload it again. Pass the URL and start converting.
No CORS restrictions
Files are fetched server-side, so it doesn't matter whether the host sets Access-Control-Allow-Origin. URLs that fail in client-only tools work fine here.
Batch convert from a list of URLs
List as many ?url= parameters as you need — the converter receives them all at once, ready to convert into individual PDFs or one combined PDF.
Shareable and linkable
The URL is the entire session — share it with a teammate and they land on the same converter, with the same files loaded, ready to convert.
Same converter, different entry point
You get the full workspace: drag-and-drop reordering, page size selection, combine toggle, and per-file status. The only difference is how the files got there.
Fits into automated workflows
Generate the by-url link from a script, a Slack bot, or a CMS button — anywhere you already have a list of .docx URLs. The converter becomes a one-click step in a longer pipeline.
Build the URL
Start with /pdf/word-to-pdf/by-url, append ?url= and the full Word file address. Repeat the parameter for each file. URL-encode addresses with their own query strings.
The files load automatically
Open the URL in any browser. The page fetches each file server-side and opens the converter with everything ready.
Convert and download
Pick page size, toggle combine if you want, hit Convert to PDF, and download the result — same flow as the regular tool.
- Word files are never stored — fetched and forwarded in a single request.
- URLs and file content are not logged, inspected, or retained.
- No sign-up needed — construct the URL and go.
