Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Bohdan, the maker of WordCanvas.
A while back I needed to put a real Word editor inside a web app - open a .docx, edit it, export it back, ideally with collaboration. Every option pushed me into the same corner: the commercial editors (Syncfusion, OnlyOffice, DevExpress) are great but bill per seat and usually need a server running before they'll even render a page. And a contenteditable div falls apart the moment you hit page breaks, real DOCX export, or print-accurate PDF.
So I built the thing I wanted:
- Canvas-rendered, paginates exactly like Word (no contenteditable)
- Real DOCX + PDF import/export, fully in the browser
- MIT-licensed, zero runtime dependencies, no server required to render
- Optional live collaboration, track changes & comments
- Same engine runs headless on Node, so a server-generated PDF is pixel-identical to what's on screen
You drop it in with one import and a <div>.
It's also on npm:
The whole thing (editor + examples) is live and open-source — try breaking it, open a weird .docx, export a PDF. I'd genuinely love feedback on where it falls short.
