Edit Word documents in your browser.

Kea is a free .docx editor that runs entirely on your own machine. Open a document, change it, save it back or export a PDF. Your files never leave your device.

Open Editor No sign up. No upload. Nothing to install.

Private by design

Documents are opened, edited and written back by code running in your browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server, because there is no server to send it to.

Works offline

After the first visit the editor is cached on your device. Turn off the network, reload, and it still opens your files.

Export to PDF

The paginated view is the print view, so a PDF comes out matching the page size the document itself declares.

Privacy

All document processing happens locally in your browser. Kea has no accounts, no uploads, no analytics beacons and no document storage. When you open a file, the bytes are read from your disk into the page and stay there. When you save, they are written back to your disk.

The only network requests the app makes are for its own files, and only until they are cached. On Chromium based browsers Kea can write straight back to the file you opened; on other browsers it falls back to opening an uploaded copy and downloading the result, which is still handled entirely inside the browser.

The site is served as static files, so the host records ordinary web server access logs (IP address, time, requested file). Those logs never contain your documents.
