Import a DOCX file, make edits, and export a high-fidelity PDF or DOCX file without touching the backend. The frame below is the live React DOCX editor component — load a sample file and watch the react DOCX library power a full-featured, JavaScript word processor for React.
React DOCX editor demo
Try the Document Authoring experience. The embedded editor lets you integrate a DOCX editor in a React app with full page fidelity. Edit a sample document or drop in your own DOCX to see what this JavaScript word processor for React can do.
WebAssembly loads in seconds, runs fully offline, and handles megabyte‑scale documents. Your data never leaves the browser — compliance stays simple.
The page‑based canvas renders DOCX exactly and exports PDF/DOCX files that mirror the screen. Stakeholders sign off on what they actually see.
Readable JSON, type‑safe APIs, and granular commands speed up automation and custom UIs. Faster builds cut the total cost of ownership.
Shortcuts, global undo/redo, and smooth scrolling feel native, even on huge files. Instantly familiar — users keep typing, not hunting for buttons.
Drop the component into any React tree; props and callbacks fit naturally into your state management.
Load, modify, or generate documents as plain JSON, and then render them instantly in the editor.
Clear guides, runnable examples, and a clone-ready GitHub repository get you productive in minutes.

No. All rendering and processing stay in the user’s browser, unless you explicitly upload the file elsewhere.

Yes. Use DocJSON to generate or modify documents programmatically, and then load them directly into the editor for review or export.
Yes. Importing or exporting DOCX requires the DOCX Support feature in your Document Authoring license.
