ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors

A familiar face for your documents.

An open-source desktop editor for documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, with a focus on Microsoft file formats.

Why it matters

Adds another open-source office choice, particularly for people exchanging DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files.

The honest heads-up

This recommendation is for Desktop Editors. Cloud and server editions have separate plans and limits. Test complex files and macros; compatibility is not identical to Microsoft Office.

Your first small step

Install Desktop Editors and test your usual document workflow.
