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 card-v2, we write a full suite of tests with real Word documents to ensure that the generated documents are correct. Our current mutation testing score is at 92%, which is very high.

First thanks for this lib. Using docx as a template is an awesome smart thing to do, great you made this stuff!
Once again: This is an awesome module!
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.
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!
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.

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.
