ONLYOFFICE Docs

ONLYOFFICE Docs, the open-source, self-hosted alternative to WPS Office

Edit, share, and collaborate on documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDFs with no ads, no closed platform, and full control over your data.

ONLYOFFICE Docs

Why teams look for a WPS Office alternative

For businesses, governments, and developers who want to avoid ads and keep full control of their infrastructure, those trade-offs matter.

  • Closed-source, proprietary software: there's no way to inspect the code

  • No self-hosting or on-premise option - cloud and desktop only, on Kingsoft's terms

  • The free tier shows ads; an ad-free experience requires a paid plan

  • PDF editing and OCR tools are locked behind a paid tier

  • AI features are Kingsoft's own built-in assistant, with no publicly documented way to bring your own AI provider or local model

What you get with ONLYOFFICE

  • Highest Microsoft Office compatibility

    Built around Office Open XML, so DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files keep their formatting.

  • Real-time, granular collaboration

    Character- and paragraph-level co-editing, comments, and version history, built for teams.

  • A full PDF editor, included free

    Fillable forms, e-signing, and OCR come with the free version - no separate paid plan required.

  • Full control of your data

    Host ONLYOFFICE on your own server or private cloud, instead of a single vendor's infrastructure.

  • Open-source code you can inspect

    Every line of ONLYOFFICE Docs' source code is on GitHub. Audit it, extend it, or self-host it.

  • AI on your terms

    Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Gemini, or fully local models via Ollama and LM Studio - instead of one fixed, built-in assistant.

  • No ads, ever

    ONLYOFFICE's free version doesn't show ads to fund itself.

  • Work with your tools

    50+ ready-made connectors, including SharePoint, Odoo, Nextcloud, ownCloud, Confluence, and more.
