Opener offers in-browser viewers for PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel and CSV files, plus a QR-code generator.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-13 issue.

For: People who need to inspect office files without desktop software
Worth noticing: Its request-flow diagram contrasts loading the viewer with opening a local file, and labels the upload step as zero requests.

Field notes

The homepage pairs the file drop area with individual viewer links and describes functions such as page jumping, slide flipping and searchable sheets. For QR codes, users can choose a content type, colours and style, damage tolerance, and one of three output sizes. The site says the codes are static and will work without it; its privacy explanation likewise describes local file opening, a claim not independently verified here.
