Direct Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about local editing and optional cloud.

Do I need an account?

No. Open a .xlsx free without signing in and save on this device. Sign in and pick a cloud plan on Pricing only when the same file must follow you across devices.

Is my file uploaded to your servers?

Not by default. Editing runs in your browser. Cloud storage is opt-in for signed-in plans when you want the same workbook on another device.

What happens if I close the tab?

Files saved on this device stay until you delete them. Signed-in cloud workbooks are written back by save and autosave. Crash recovery copies can stay for 7 days — see the history page.

Is this a full Excel replacement?

No. It is built for opening attachments, everyday formulas, and format-preserving edits without installing Office. For VBA, heavy Power Query, or live co-editing, use Excel or Google Sheets.

Which formats can I edit?

Excel (.xlsx) is the product. The same editor also opens Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), PDF and CSV.

How much does it cost?

Editing and saving on this device is free forever. Optional cloud storage is $5/year for 1 GB or $10/year for 10 GB — see Pricing.
