DOCX viewer

Open a Word file (.docx) and read it in your browser, without Word. The document is laid out as white pages with its own fonts, sizes and margins, with a page count and zoom. Nothing is uploaded: the file is read on your device.

How to open a DOCX file without Word

  1. 1Drop a .docx file onto the page, or click to choose it
  2. 2Scroll through the pages and use the zoom to read comfortably
  3. 3Save a PDF copy if you want to keep or send it
  4. The document as pages, with its page and word count.

What you get

  • No Word needed.Open a .docx on a phone, a Chromebook or a computer without Office.
  • Looks like a document.Pages with the file's fonts, sizes, colours and margins, not just a text dump.
  • Nothing is uploaded.Your file is read by your browser, so contracts and letters stay with you.

What you can do

  • Read a Word document as pages, with a bar that shows the file name, the page you are on and the total.
  • See the number of pages and words at the top.
  • Zoom from 50% to 150%, or choose Fit width to fill the space you have.
  • Save the document as a PDF with the button "Save as PDF".
  • Open other text documents the same way: OpenDocument (.odt), Markdown, HTML, plain text and PDF files.

Good to know

  • This is a viewer only. You cannot edit or change the document here.
  • Fonts that are not on your device are replaced by free fonts of the same width, such as Calibri, Cambria, Arial, Times and Courier look-alikes. Line breaks can differ a little from Word.
  • Pictures, headers and footers do not come across yet. Text, headings, lists, tables, bold and italic do.
  • One file at a time. The older .doc format is not supported, so save it as .docx in Word first.

Questions

How can I open a DOCX file without Word?

Drop it onto this page. It is shown as pages in your browser, so you do not need Word, Office or any app.

Is my Word file uploaded?

No. The file is read and drawn by your browser on your own device. It is never sent to us or anyone else.

Will the document look exactly like it does in Word?

Close, but not always identical. Fonts, sizes, colours and spacing are kept, but pictures, headers and footers are not shown, and look-alike fonts replace missing ones.

Can I turn the document into a PDF?

Yes. Use "Save as PDF" in the bar above the pages.
