Early preview: Documents, Presentations and Spreadsheets all work today.
Each app is built for the job, and they all share the same way of working: your files, your device, no detours through anyone's server.
Write on real pages, open DOCX, DOC, ODT, PDF and LaTeX, and save as DOCX, ODT, Markdown, HTML or PDF.
Formulas, sorting and filters for real data: open and save XLSX, ODS and CSV.
Slides with a calm editor and a full-screen presenter. Open and save PPTX and ODP, in an early preview.
Most online editors keep your documents on their servers. Scissor Office does the work in your browser. The engine that reads and writes files is written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly, and it runs inside your tab. Documents are kept in this browser's storage on your device, and the page's security policy lets it talk only to this site, and to Google only when you choose to use your own Google Drive.
No account, no cloud copy, no one reading along. See how it works and how to check it yourself.
Open standards first. Everything you make can be opened elsewhere, and you can leave at any time.
DOCX, ODT, XLSX, ODS, PPTX and ODP files written by Scissor Office open in common office apps. A few things are not kept yet when opening a file, such as tables in documents and tracked changes, and charts in a file are kept but cannot be edited yet.
The work happens in your tab and documents stay on your device, so there is nothing for us to see, keep or lose.
A Rust engine compiled to WebAssembly opens and saves files in milliseconds, with no round trip to a server.
ODF and OOXML are both ISO standards. No sign-up, no ads, no lock-in: export everything, any time.
We build in the open order below and ship each piece when it is ready. No dates promised, no features faked.
Write with headings, lists, quotes, links and pictures, start from templates on A4 or US Letter, keep drafts on this device, open DOCX, Word 97–2003 DOC, ODT, PDF, LaTeX, Markdown, text and Google Docs, and save to DOCX, ODT, HTML, Markdown, text, PDF or your Google Drive.
Slides with a calm editor and a full-screen presenter: open PPTX, PowerPoint 97–2003 PPT and ODP, save PPTX and ODP, print to PDF. Tables and charts in a file are kept, not edited yet.
Turn office files from one format into another in the browser: word-processing, spreadsheet and presentation files, between the common vendor formats and the open ones.
A grid for real data: formulas with over 300 functions, sorting, filters, frozen panes and number formats, with XLSX, ODS and CSV in and out. Charts from your data, saved in XLSX and ODS.
The same private, in-browser approach for other kinds of files.
Open the app and start a document. It is free, it works offline after the first visit, and your words are not uploaded to our servers.
Scissor Office is a free office suite that runs entirely in your web browser. Its first app, Documents, lets you write and format text, keep drafts on your device and save them as DOCX, ODT, HTML, Markdown, plain text or PDF. Presentations and Spreadsheets are available as early previews.
Not to our servers. Files are read and written by an engine that runs inside your browser tab, and your documents are kept in your browser's storage on your device. They reach Google only if you choose to open from or save to your own Google Drive. The page's security policy lets it contact only this site, and Google's sign-in and Drive services when you use them.
Documents opens .docx files, the format Microsoft Word saves by default, as well as OpenDocument text (.odt), PDF, LaTeX (a .tex file or a .zip project), Markdown and plain text, and Google Docs files from your Drive. It keeps text, headings, lists, links, pictures, bold, italic, underline, alignment and the paper size. From a PDF it rebuilds the text, headings and lists, which works best for documents made from text rather than scans. Tables, comments and tracked changes are not kept yet. Word 97–2003 .doc files open too.
Yes. Documents opens Word 97–2003 .doc and .dot files with their text, headings, bold and italic, lists, links, pictures, page size and right-to-left paragraphs; tables come in as lines with tab-separated cells for now. Presentations opens PowerPoint 97–2003 .ppt, .pps and .pot files with their slides, text, shapes, pictures, speaker notes, hidden slides and transitions, and saves them as PPTX or ODP. Spreadsheets opens Excel 97–2003 .xls files with their values, formulas, formatting, column widths, row heights, merged cells, frozen panes and links, and saves them as XLSX or ODS; charts, pictures and comments in them are not read yet. All three are read in your browser; the file is not uploaded.
In this browser on this device (IndexedDB storage). They stay when you close the tab, but clearing your browser's site data deletes them, and they do not sync to other devices. Save a copy with Export to keep one safe.
Yes, if you want it to. Open from Google Drive and Save to Google Drive go straight between your browser and your own Drive. Scissor Office asks only for access to the files you open or save with it, never the rest of your Drive, and we never receive your Google account or your files.
Yes. After your first visit the app is kept by your browser, so you can open it and write without a connection. You can also install it as an app from your browser.
Yes. No sign-up, no ads and no paid tier. Scissor Office is part of Scissor, a family of private, in-browser tools.
No. Scissor Office is an independent project with its own design and code. It opens and saves common file formats so you can work with people who use other software.
Yes. Documents rebuilds a PDF's text into an editable document: paragraphs, headings, lists, bold and italic, pictures and the page sizes, including PDFs whose pages have different sizes. It works best for PDFs made from text; for scans, Scissor PDF can run text recognition first.
Yes, a .tex file or a .zip of a LaTeX project. Scissor Office reads the main file, pastes in the files it includes, and keeps sections, lists, emphasis, links and the project's pictures. Math is kept as its LaTeX source.
Yes. Each paragraph takes its direction from its text, so Arabic, Persian, Hebrew and Urdu read right to left without any setting, and you can set a paragraph's direction by hand. The direction is saved in DOCX, ODT and HTML.
Yes. Start a new section from any paragraph and give it its own paper size, orientation and margins, for example a landscape page for a wide table. Sections are saved in DOCX and ODT.
