Frequently asked questions

Can it open old .doc files?

Only the modern .docx format is supported. Open a .doc in Word or LibreOffice and use "Save as .docx" first.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The file is read and processed by your own browser. Nothing is sent to us or to any third party, and the file is gone when you close the tab.

Will the document look exactly like in Word?

View mode is very close for most documents. Uncommon features such as text boxes with advanced wrapping or embedded fonts may differ slightly.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

It is free to use and there is no sign-up. The site is supported by ads shown on the information pages, never inside your document.
