Here you can convert an old .doc right away, with no need to re-save it in a newer format.
The moatool converter never uploads your document. A real office engine runs inside your browser to build the PDF, so even sensitive files stay on your device and there is no size limit.

Does my file go to a server?
No. A real office engine runs inside your browser to make the PDF, so contracts and HR files stay on your device.
