What is WordCraft

WordCraft is an open-source word processor from the ArtCraft team. It follows a document-centered workflow for writing, formatting and reviewing text, with native and browser builds from the same Rust codebase.

Source code is published under MIT or Apache-2.0. The app and its bundled assets have their own notices; this independent site keeps the upstream web build unchanged.

How to use WordCraft online

  1. Start a document

    Create a new document or open a supported local file in the browser editor.

  2. Write and format

    Add a heading, body text and any required formatting before testing a more complicated layout.

  3. Download your work

    Save the editable document and reopen the downloaded file to confirm its content and layout.

Run WordCraft in a browser tab .

Make room for the work

Write with structure

Organize a document with headings and paragraph formatting so its structure remains understandable beyond a single page.

Check page layout

Work with text and page settings, then inspect how the layout behaves with your actual fonts and document content.

Keep a portable copy

Save frequently and test the formats available in the release. Verify the result in the app where the document will be read or printed.

What you can and cannot do yet

Use the features above as a starting point. Keep these limits in view:

  • Complex Word documents, macros, fields and external integrations need individual compatibility testing.
  • Font substitution can change line breaks and pagination across operating systems.
  • The site does not keep a cloud document history or backup.

FAQ

A few things to know before you start.

Is this the Wordcraft AI writing project?

No. This page describes the ArtCraft team's open-source word processor, not similarly named writing or AI products.

Can I move my entire Word workflow here?

Start with representative copies and check layout, fonts, tables and the features your documents require. A familiar interface does not establish complete Word compatibility.

Where is my document saved?

Use the editor's Save or Export action to download a local file. This website does not provide account-based cloud storage.
