Supported formats · DOCX

Open Word (.docx) documents right in your browser, with no Word or Office install required. On a Mac, Chromebook, iPad, or Windows PC, view them with formatting like headings, tables, and lists preserved, without installing software or signing up. Files are processed inside your browser and never uploaded, so even sensitive documents like contracts or resumes stay on your device.

How to use it

  1. 1Drag in or select the .docx file you want to open.
  2. 2Scroll and zoom to read the document, rendered with its formatting.
  3. 3If you need to, click the body text to edit it with formatting preserved, then save as .docx.
  4. 4Use the 'Print · Save as PDF' button to export a PDF or print directly.

When it comes in handy

It helps when you're on a Mac without Word and need to check a contract draft a client sent and fix a few typos.

It is also handy for opening a .docx resume on an iPad to polish the wording.

And when the other person doesn't have Word, you can turn the document into a PDF to send it.

You don't need Word installed

Even on a Mac, Chromebook, or iPad without Word or an office suite, you can open .docx documents with just a browser. No install and no sign-in required.

The document is opened inside your browser and never sent to a server, so work files or documents with personal information stay private.

If you have an old .doc file

This viewer supports the modern .docx standard. For very old .doc (legacy binary) files, open them once in Word or Google Docs, choose 'Save as .docx', and then open that here.

Turning it into a PDF to share

Open the document, click 'Print · Save as PDF', and in the print dialog choose 'Save as PDF' as the destination. The shortcut is Cmd+P on Mac and Ctrl+P on Windows.

The resulting PDF opens anywhere, even for people who don't have Word installed, which makes sharing documents easy.

What may look a little different

Most documents display with their headings, tables, and lists intact, but very complex layouts, special fonts, or some advanced formatting can look slightly different from Word. It works well for reading, editing text, and sharing as a PDF.
