Edit DOCX in the Browser (Mostly Offline)
"Offline" and "browser editor" sound contradictory. Here is the honest split for EditDocx:
Needs network once
Loading editdocx.net the first time (HTML, JS, fonts). After that, document processing is local.
Local while editing
- Parse
.docxin memory - Auto-save to localStorage / IndexedDB
- Export DOCX or PDF bytes to download
0 server uploads for document content.
Not fully offline-first
If you close the tab before the app loads, or clear cache mid-session, you need network again. EditDocx is not a PWA with full offline install today.

Can I edit on a plane after loading the page? Often yes for the current session — but do not rely on it for critical work without testing your browser cache behavior.
