Genom keeps office documents inside the browser

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A TypeScript document renderer that opens Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files locally, without uploading or converting them on a server.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-27 issue.

Field notes

The browser viewer and extraction API are presented as two outputs of one parse, allowing displayed content and indexed content to remain aligned. The site covers modern and legacy office formats, including .doc and .xls, and describes a lazy-loading approach that fetches only the parser needed for a recognized file. Its stated target is content completeness rather than pixel-identical Word reproduction, with browser line breaking identified as a deliberate limitation.
