How to edit a DOCX file online

  1. Open a document or start fresh

    Choose a DOCX or DOC file, drag it into the editor, or start with a blank document or an editable template. Files stay in your browser.

  2. Edit text, images and formatting

    Update your text, apply headings and lists, insert an image, or adjust alignment. Review the document before exporting.

  3. Download as DOCX or PDF

    Choose DOCX to keep an editable document or PDF to share a fixed-page copy. Save the download to your device, then send it using your usual email or messaging app.

Edit Word documents without Microsoft Word

Use familiar formatting controls to make a quick correction or finish a longer draft. Your downloaded DOCX stays editable in compatible word processors, and PDF is available when you need a fixed-page copy.

Frequently asked questions

How can I edit a DOCX file for free?

Choose your DOCX file, edit it in the browser and download your updated document. Text editing is unlimited, and there is no account or subscription.

What is the difference between DOC and DOCX?

DOC is an older binary Word format. DOCX stores document content and related files in an XML-based package. WordOnline opens both and exports DOCX or PDF.

Can I edit a PDF as a Word document?

Yes. Convert the PDF to Word first, then edit the resulting document. PDF uses a fixed-page layout, so review the converted text and formatting before downloading or sharing.

Are my documents uploaded?

No. Document content is processed in your browser’s memory and is not uploaded to our servers. Download your result before closing or clearing your workspace. Recent files store only local file information, so reopening requires selecting the original file again.
