Works on

• Ubuntu / Debian desktops
• Fedora / RHEL with a modern browser
• ChromeOS Linux (Crostini) with caveats on file paths

Workflow

2. Open .docx from Downloads
3. Export DOCX or PDF

Built on open-source docx-editor — see About for context.

FAQ

Do I need Wine for Word? No. EditDocx is browser-native.

Offline? You need network to load the app once; editing then runs locally. See offline browser editing.
