Open, edit and save an Office file

1. Choose an existing file or start a blank one

Open the editor using the link below. The public website does not read files; selection happens inside the separate workspace at app.editdocfree.com. A copy is read by your browser, so keep the original on your device.

• Drag a supported file onto the drop area, or choose Choose local files.
• To create a file, choose Word document, Excel spreadsheet or PowerPoint presentation.
• Each input must be 100 MB or smaller. Files below this limit may still exceed a device’s available memory.

2. Wait for the workspace, then make your changes

The first visit downloads the editing engine and fonts, so it can be slower than later visits. Wait until the file is open and the editing tools appear. If an import fails, keep your original, check its extension and try a smaller non-sensitive example. Do not rename a file extension to convert its contents.

Check the output format

Legacy DOC, XLS and PPT inputs are converted to DOCX, XLSX and PPTX respectively. CSV remains CSV. Downloading creates a new local file; check its name and extension in your browser downloads.

Choose Save to device in the toolbar above the document, or use Ctrl+S on Windows and Command+S on macOS. Wait for the browser download to finish. Depending on browser settings, the file may go directly to Downloads or a save dialog may appear.

Finish with a downloaded file

The recent-files list is not continuous autosave. Copies update when you open or export. If a language change or document switch asks about unsaved work, choose Save and continue to download and preserve the current snapshot. Check the exported copy before closing the tab.

• Find the downloaded file and confirm its name and extension.
• Reopen that downloaded copy and check the latest change.
• Keep a separate backup before closing the tab or clearing site data.
