Free & open source

Yes, you read that right. ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors is completely free – which means you’ll be getting access to a professional-grade office software without any financial constraints. What’s more, due to our editors being entirely open source, you’ll benefit from the transparency, community collaboration, and innovation that comes along with it.

Need to make quick edits to your essay on-the-go? Make use of the free apps for iOS and Android

Digital library at hand

Sure, research for your assignments looks way cooler with a dozen of books spread around your desk – but it’s also wildly impractical. With ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors, you are able to read EPUB, FB2 and PDFs, and search through all the digital e-books directly within your office solution.

ONLYOFFICE DocSpace: Bring your group projects to the next level

Work together with your co-eds, teachers and professors to create, share and team up in your pursuit of knowledge!

Teamwork has never been easier

By creating virtual rooms, you get to control who gets to view, collaborate on and share any project files within your room. And you will never miss important files again by keeping all docs related to your project neatly stored within rooms.

Fit to any scenario

Collect responses for your projects and fill out assignments in Form filling rooms, prepare group presentations in Collaboration rooms, write essays and let your educators review them in Custom rooms. Allow group mates and teachers to view contents without registration in Public rooms. Discuss group projects in Meeting rooms.

Stress-free co-editing

Efficiently work together with built-in communication tools such as chat and comments to discuss project details, share ideas, and provide feedback to your group members without switching between different platforms.

Why ONLYOFFICE?

We get it – there are tons of office solutions out there. Why should you start using ONLYOFFICE and not another software? Because ONLYOFFICE and students – that’s just a perfect match. For various reasons, only few of which we’d love to tell you about: 

It’s free

No need to save on food or drinks just to be able to work on your assignment with a potent office suite. We’ve got your back – for students, ONLYOFFICE is completely free.

It’s compatible with MS Office files (and almost all other office file formats)

Don’t worry about your co-eds or your professors using other office solutions and only seeing incomprehensible word salad once they open your files. ONLYOFFICE is completely compatible with MS Office files (e.g. DOCX, XLSX, PPTS etc.) and most other file formats, really.

It’s highly customizable with our built-in plugin marketplace

Make your ONLYOFFICE setup entirely your own with tons of plugins that extend the functionality – whether it’s supercharging your document work by using our official ChatGPT plugin directly in the editors, making research easier a ton with bibliography plugins for Mendeley or Zotero or speeding up writing & proofreading with LanguageTool & OCR.

It’s built with collaboration in mind

We simply love working in teams. And we assume you do, too. That’s why ONLYOFFICE offers tons of features that make collaborating with others as simple and seamless as possible. 

Success stories that show you how it’s done

We could go on and on about how well ONLYOFFICE and education go together. But we’d rather show you – by demonstrating stories of success by other users.
