WordPad is one of the most familiar text editors on Windows — lightweight, fast, and straightforward. If you are looking for a way to use WordPad online, directly in your browser, this page is for you.

What is Online WordPad?

Online WordPad is a free, browser-based word processor that works like the classic Windows WordPad application — but without needing to install anything. It runs entirely in your browser on any device: Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, or iPad.

You can open the editor, start typing, format your text, and export your document — all without creating an account or downloading software.

What Can You Do With WordPad Online?

WordPad Online gives you all the features you expect from a word processor:

• Rich text formatting — bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, font families, font sizes, text color, and highlight color
• Tables — insert tables with a visual grid picker, add or remove rows and columns, resize cells
• Images — paste or upload images and resize them inline
• Page breaks — insert real page breaks that work in print
• Export — download your document as Word (.docx), HTML, or plain text (.txt)
• Print — print with configurable page margins (0.5 cm to 2 cm)
• Command menu — type / anywhere to insert headings, lists, tables, and more
• Auto-save — your document is automatically saved in your browser

How to Use WordPad Online

1. Click Start Writing to open the editor instantly
2. Type your document and format it using the toolbar or the / command menu
3. Use File → Export to download as .docx, .html, or .txt
4. Use File → Print or press Ctrl+P to print

No sign-up. No download. No waiting.

Is It Really Free?

Yes — completely free. No ads, no paywalls, no premium tiers. Online WordPad is an independent open-source project.

Does It Work Offline?

Once the page has loaded, editing works completely offline. Your document is saved automatically to your browser's local storage, so it persists across page refreshes.

Who Is It For?

Online WordPad is ideal for:

• Students writing notes or reports on shared or school computers
• Users on Windows 11 where WordPad has been removed
• Anyone who needs a quick document editor without installing Microsoft Word
• People working on Chromebooks or Mac without a Windows license
