Browser-based DOCX viewer & editor.
docxviewer is a free, browser-based Word document viewer and editor for people who need to open, edit, review, and save DOCX files without installing software or creating an account.
What docxviewer does
docxviewer opens, displays, edits, reviews, and saves Microsoft Word DOCX documents entirely in your browser. It is designed for students, professionals, and occasional Word users who need a quick local document workflow. Choose a file from your device, work with its text, formatting, tables, images, comments, and tracked changes, then save it directly or download an edited copy. The site has no document server: document contents and filenames stay in your browser and on your device.

How the local document workflow works

- View, edit, or review: change modes without reloading the document.
- Save locally: write to a file when the browser supports it, or download an edited .docx copy.
