Macs with Microsoft Word installed can export directly to PDF from within Word itself. Without Word installed, though, you need another way to get from .docx to PDF.
Pages (Apple's word processor) can open some .docx files, but formatting doesn't always translate perfectly, and it requires importing the file into Pages first just to export it again. A browser-based converter skips that round-trip.
The converted PDF's text is not selectable or searchable, since the page is rendered as an image rather than reconstructed as live text — it looks and prints correctly, but "find in PDF" won't work on it.

No — the output is a rendered image of each page, similar to a scanned document.
