About Word Viewer
Open a Word document in your browser when you don't have Microsoft Word. DOCX files are laid out page by page with their fonts, headings, tables, pictures, headers and footers, right on your device – nothing is uploaded. Older .doc, .odt and .rtf files are converted once on our server so they can be shown. Print the document, download it, convert it to PDF, or open it in our free Word editor to make changes.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes – free with no sign-up, no ads in the viewer, no watermark and no limit on how many files you open.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The file is opened and shown on your device and never leaves it. Only formats a browser can't read (old .doc/.ppt/.xls, Pages, Keynote, DjVu, XPS, MOBI) are converted once on our server over HTTPS and deleted right away – the page tells you when that happens.
Will it look the same as in Word?
Very close: text, styles, tables, pictures, headers and footers are shown. Rare features such as SmartArt, charts and equations may look simpler – the downloaded file is unchanged.
Can I edit the document?
Yes. Click Edit to open it in our free Word editor and save a real .docx, or convert it to PDF.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It works in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, iPhone and Android. On Android you can also install the free Kitbly app and pick it in “Open with”.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It works in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac.
