Docxtemplater is a JavaScript library that generates Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), Excel (.xlsx) and OpenDocument (.odt) documents from templates filled with structured data such as JSON. Core features include text replacement, loops, and conditions, while optional modules add capabilities like image insertion, HTML content, charts, tables, Excel templating, footnotes, search/replace text. It runs in Node.js and in the browser, making it easy to embed document generation into any application. Docxtemplater is designed for developers to integrate document generation into applications, while allowing non-programmers (e.g. business users using Word/Office) to design and edit the templates.

Why use Docxtemplater?

Template-based approach

Docxtemplater relies on a template-based approach: anyone who knows how to use Word can modify the look of the generated documents.

You can let your own customers edit the Word template!

Reports, contracts and documents

With Docxtemplater, you write a document template using Word or PowerPoint and fill it with tags such as {user}. You can call Docxtemplater using Node.js or in the browser with Javascript. The engine takes your JSON data and generates a document with all fields replaced by their values.

Support < 48h

Every paid license includes email support within 48 hours to help resolve any issues.

For the ENTERPRISE Plan, the response time is 24 hours.

Open-source users receive active support on the GitHub issue tracker .

Easy to install and maintain

In a few minutes you can install docxtemplater on npm, create your first template and generate some DOCX files from Javascript objects or JSON.

Open-source Core

Docxtemplater has an open-source core with all commonly needed features.

For more advanced features, we sell 19 paid modules that you can purchase individually or in a pack of 4 (PRO Plan), or all modules (ENTERPRISE Plan)

Runs on Node.js and major browsers

Docxtemplater is tested with all active Node.js versions 12 through 24, and in all common browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE9+).

Paid feature

Images

Add images using the simple syntax:

{%image}

The image can be loaded from base64, from the filesystem or from an http request.

Paid feature

Tables

With Docxtemplater, you can generate tables from HTML, from a simple loop, from a loop that creates multiple columns. You can also style a table cell dynamically

Conditions

Show or hide a section dynamically in your template

{#isAdmin}
You're the admin
{/}

Loops

Repeat a section dynamically in your template

{#users}
{name}
{/}
Paid feature

HTML

Add HTML with

{~html}

This allows you to use the input from your WYSIWYG editor and put it into your report.

Or to generate a complex table.

Paid feature

Subtemplates

You can manage multiple docx documents and then include multiple documents in your final document.

Usage is like this:

Title
{:include subdoc}
Other
Paid feature

Docker image

With the ENTERPRISE plan, we provide a docker image. It allows you to use Docxtemplater from other languages such as Python, Java, Go, C#, C++, Ruby, PHP, Node.js (we've built an SDK for each language)

Highly customisable

Docxtemplater is highly customizable:

  • Define data filters to process data using your business logic. For example : {user.name | upper } or {#companies | where:'revenue > 1000'}

Docx, Pptx, Xlsx, Odt

Docxtemplater works with the 3 major office document formats :

  • Docx : Microsoft Word
  • Pptx : Microsoft PowerPoint
  • Xlsx : Microsoft Excel
  • Odt : Libre Office Writer

The open-source core supports only DOCX and PPTX; for XLSX support, you need the XLSX Module.

Full Documentation

Docxtemplater has extensive documentation to get started (in Node.js or the browser), and configure the generation.

For questions about our paid modules, see our commercial FAQ and our technical FAQ.

Very robust

For each feature, we write a full suite of tests with real Word documents to ensure that the generated documents are correct. Our current mutation testing score measured by Stryker Mutator is at 90%, which is very high and allows us to develop features without fearing of breaking existing use cases.

Paid feature

Charts

Add charts using the simple syntax:

{$myChart}

Insert a chart to define your style, and put a tag to bind the data to your chart.

Paid feature

Error Detection

Use the error location module to get a commented document highlighting all errors in your template, making it much easier to fix issues in your template for your end-users and for long documents.

Paid feature

Programmatically edit document

Use the meta module to programmatically search("Text"), replaceAll("Pattern", "Replacement"), mark document as readonly, add watermarks or programmatically retrieve, edit and create comments.

Paid feature

Modify style of part of document based on a condition

With the styling module, you can modify the background-color of a cell based on a condition, modify the font-size, color of a paragraph, the style of a shape.

Without Docxtemplater we wouldn't have been able to ensure data consistency which is what our clients expect. Any time we had an issue, the support team was always present to respond quickly.

Paulo Castagnari CTO - Azume

One of our core features is business proposal generation. Previously, we managed this by using the browser's native print function to save an HTML template as a PDF file, but with a very limited degree of customization.

Now, with Docxtemplater, we can offer our customers much more customized business proposals. All this at an affordable price and with unlimited document generation (unlike many other SDKs out there, which are extremely expensive and have highly restrictive monthly request limits).

If you are looking for a file templating solution with easy implementation, good support, and fair prices, look no further. 100% recommend Docxtemplater.

Docxtemplater has been a spectacular library to use for generating documents from custom templates. It contains a wide array of features, including styling with HTML, images, and merging multiple documents together, all of which we use extensively. Edgar has been quick to respond to any concerns or use cases that we wanted to support, and we appreciate all the work that he has done for this library. We greatly advocate the use of his library, for it is an awesome library backed by an awesome developer!

Dwight Kelly President at Apago Inc

We needed a comprehensive templating engine for Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint that allowed us to modify existing documents. Our requirements included updating styles for any element and replacing images & text placeholders. After testing all available commercial and open-source libraries we selected Docxtemplater. The Docxtemplater team has provided awesome support - answering our questions, fixing problems and continuously improving the product's capabilities. We couldn't ask for a better partner!

Ben Cook Head of Platforms at Climate Friendly

Docxtemplater has been incredible for us. We had a complex set of requirements for a new product, including conditional formatting, image insertion, and charts. After researching various options, we discovered Docxtemplater, and it has been the perfect choice. It was easy to integrate and works perfectly. The documentation is great, and the online demos are really useful in checking behaviour. I've used Aspose for over a decade with similar use cases, and this is way easier. The feature set is so rich it's solved problems we didn't know we had.

The Docxtemplater module helped our company a lot - it works well, even with a complex setup. I would personally like to thank the author, Edgar Hipp, for quick responses and fixes if they were needed. Edgar generally responded to our emails within a working day and fixed most bugs within 2 working days.

We've been working with Docxtemplater to automate Word document generation for our client projects. The ease of creating templates in a simple no-fuss tool has saved us significant time and complexity. The support team is outstanding. Docxtemplater is an invaluable tool, and we're extremely satisfied with both the product and the excellent support.

We have been using Docxtemplater to generate Word documents for quite a while and it has been a joy to use. Besides this awesome library, the support by the Docxtemplater team is one of the best, replying to our question within the hour and even including a fix!

Anonymous Senior Frontend Developer - at 22-year old company

From a technology perspective the software is nice and lightweight, as it just needs to be brought in as a nodejs dependency. Most of the other solutions we looked at required loading a whole application stack including base operating system, open office, plus bloated Java libraries, which I wasn't keen on.

Andrew Dravucz Senior Product Developer - Athennian

My team and I primarily work on building and maintaining document generation in Athennian. Thanks to all of Docxtemplater's tools available, we are able to have document syntax that's easy to use for both internal and external users. Support has been very responsive and has been able to implement fixes within a day or two of bugs being reported. Would highly recommend Docxtemplater for generating documents from templates!

Docxtemplater and especially the HTML module have helped us meet needs that other tools could not by providing a versatile and powerful solution for generating dynamic and customizable documents directly from templates, streamlining our document creation process and providing a seamless integration into our existing systems and workflows.

I can highly recommend Docxtemplater as a library for generating documents from custom templates. It is easily extendible, very fast and easy to use. Edgar has been extremely helpful and always available to get the most of the library. One of the best support experiences I have ever had!

Frequently asked questions

Is there a way to test the software or have a free trial ?

Yes. You can test all features on our live interactive demo, where you can experiment with paid modules (like HTML or Images) and upload your own templates.

While we do not offer a downloadable trial version, we provide a 14-day, 100% money-back guarantee so you can try Docxtemplater risk-free in your own environment. If you need a deep dive, you can either send us your questions by email or schedule a video call

What is the difference between plans and modules?

Docxtemplater has an open-source core that includes all standard text, loop, and conditional templating features. Advanced capabilities are split into separate paid modules (for example, the HTML module for rich text insertion, or the Image module).

You can acquire these features in two ways:

  • Individual Modules: Buy exactly what you need separately for a yearly fee.
  • Bundled Plans: Choose a plan (PRO, ENTERPRISE, or PREMIUM) to get access to 4 modules (PRO License) or all 19 modules (ENTERPRISE or PREMIUM) at a better rate.

Does the license allow me to use the software in a SaaS product ?

Yes, the license model is suitable for Software as a Service businesses. As long as you are the entity running Docxtemplater software, you can use the standard licenses.

If you need to redistribute the software by installing it on your customers' servers, this will need a specific "APPLIANCE" license. The standard license does not allow you to redistribute the software. The Appliance license plan is 6500€ per year for PRO and 15000€ per year for ENTERPRISE version. It allows you to distribute the modules contained in the PRO or ENTERPRISE module as part of your application. You are not allowed to resell the modules as is.

What kind of support will I receive?

You will get direct email support included with any Plan or Module purchase. We typically respond within 24 business hours to answer your questions and help with implementation. Bug fixes are fully covered under your plan. If you request a new feature, we evaluate it based on its utility to the broader user base and the development effort required.

To help us resolve your issue faster, please include your template, JSON data, relevant code, the modules you are using, and the expected or generated output when you contact support.

How will I get access to the modules ?

The modules are installed via npm, you'll have to run : npm install --save <secret-url> That url will be unique for your account.

The compiled files for browser usage are also bundled inside the package.

Can I convert the generated document to a PDF file ?

It is not possible to convert docx to PDF with Docxtemplater, because Docxtemplater is a templating engine and doesn’t know how to render a given document. We recommend using libreoffice headless for a free tool or PDFTron for a paid alternative.
