Generate and customize docx, pptx or xlsx from
inside your application with a simple {tag} syntax
Trusted and used by 50,000+ developers
With docxtemplater, you write a document template using Word or Powerpoint and filling it with tags such as `{user}`. The templating engine will take your input data as JSON and generate a document with all fields replaced by their values
See docs for the list of all modules.
In a few minutes you can install docxtemplater, create your first template and generate some docx from javascript objects or JSON. Creating or modifying a template will not require you to ask a developer to do it.
docxtemplater is tested with all active Node.js versions 10 up to version 16, and in modern browsers (Chrome,Firefox,Safari,IE9+).
There also is a docker service.
docxtemplater has extensive documentation to get started, and configure the generation.. For questions about our paid modules, see our commercial FAQ and our technical FAQ for more information.
docxtemplater is open for extension with its module system. You can also define a custom parser to process the tags the way you want.
docxtemplater has automated tests that are run regularly and at each git push, covering a huge amount of possible inputs and verifying that the output is correct.
You don't need technical skills to edit a Word template, so it is ideal for your clients to customize their template.
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 usecases.

First thanks for this lib. Using docx as a template is an awesome smart thing to do, great you made this stuff!
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 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 [or Edgar] has provided awesome support - answering our questions, fixing problems and continuously improving the product's capabilities. We couldn't ask for a better partner!
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 a awesome library backed by an awesome developer!
Thanks for your time and effort, I really appreciate it :)
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 experience I have ever made!
Once again: This is an awesome module!
We do not provide a free trial period, but we do have two week 100% money back guarantee. We also provide a live demo site which has multiple modules enabled, for example, you have a demo specific for the HTML module. On the demo site, you can also upload your own templates, which makes it quite good to see if it would work well for your usecase. If something is missing on the demo site, we can show it to you on a video call a time that works for both of us (contact us per email).
Docxtemplater is an open-source project, which has basic features for templating. All paid features come in forms of modules, for example the HTML module allows to insert formatted text with bold, italic, links. All modules can be bought separately for a yearly fee. There are also two plans, the PRO plan and the ENTREPRISE plan that gives you access to a set of modules.
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.

Bugfixes are also included in the support plan. For new features, it depends whether the feature makes sense for other customers and if the time required to implement it is not too long.
To have faster answers, please include the used modules, the template document, the generated document, or the expected output, your JSON data, and code relevant to the generation.
The modules are installed via npm, you will receive a secret, unique url with wich you can do so you will do : npm install --save <secret-url>
The compiled files for browser usage are also bundled inside the package.
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 to use libreoffice headless for a free tool or PDFTron for a paid alternative.
