Arthize lets photographers and studios convert Word to PDF in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Converting Word to PDF embeds the fonts and locks the layout, so spacing, headings and page breaks look identical on every device.

## Why photographers convert Word to PDF

A photographer combines a gallery of images into one PDF proof, watermarks the previews, and compresses the file so the client can open it on their phone.

**Built for proof sheets.** Whether it's proof sheets, galleries, contracts, Arthize's word to pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Client shoots and unreleased galleries are confidential; private processing protects them.

## What matters when you convert Word to PDF

Embedding fonts is what keeps a converted PDF from reflowing on other devices.

A PDF is the safe format for sending a finished document because it can't be accidentally edited.

Converting Word to PDF preserves page breaks exactly as designed.
