Everything you need to write

A full-featured text editor that runs entirely in your browser.

Unlike plain text editors, Online WordPad supports rich formatting: bold, italic, font families, font sizes, text color, and highlight color. You can insert tables, images, and page breaks. Documents export as Word (.docx), HTML, or plain text (.txt).

Rich Text Editing

Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, font families, sizes, text and highlight colors. Everything you expect from a text editor.

Tables

Insert tables with a visual grid picker. Add/remove rows and columns, resize cells, full keyboard navigation.

Images

Paste or upload images. Resize, crop, rotate, flip and align them within the document.

Page Breaks

Insert real page breaks that work on screen and in print. Pages render as A4 paper.

Export

Save as Word (.docx), HTML, or plain text (.txt). Your document, your format.

Print

Print with exact margins. Set 0.5 cm to 2 cm page margins and get exactly that on paper.

Undo / Redo

Full history with unlimited undo and redo steps. Keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y.

Emoji

Insert emoji anywhere in your document with a searchable emoji picker.

Command Menu

Type / anywhere in the document to open a command menu. Insert headings, lists, tables, images, and more without touching the toolbar.
