How it works

Three beats, that's it

  1. You double-click

    A .docx that landed in your inbox, an old .xls gathering dust. You open it the way you always do.

  2. Popdoc takes over

    The file heads into your Google Drive and turns into a native Google document.

  3. It opens

    The document shows up in your browser, ready to edit. Popdoc bows out.

Features

What Popdoc does for you

Automatic conversion

Word becomes Docs, Excel becomes Sheets, PowerPoint becomes Slides. No fiddling.

No duplicates

Reopening a file you already imported? Popdoc offers "Open existing" or "Import a copy."

Light and unobtrusive

5.9 MB. A small floating progress window, then the app closes once the queue is done.

Your everyday formats

.docx, .xlsx, .pptx, .doc, .xls, .ppt, .odt, .rtf, .csv. The classics are covered.

All in the browser

The document opens right in Google Docs. You pick up where you already work.

Privacy

What happens on your Mac stays on your Mac

Free doesn't mean you pay with your data. Here's exactly what Popdoc sees, touches and keeps: almost nothing.

100% free, no ads

No third-party server
Popdoc talks straight to the Google Drive API from your Mac. Nothing passes through our servers, because there aren't any.
No tracking, no personal data
No personal data is required or collected. Your Google sign-in stays between you and Google.
Strictly limited access
With the drive.file scope, Popdoc can only touch the files it creates. Your tokens stay stored locally on your Mac.

The why

Why it's free

My whole life, I've used free tools that helped me out and never asked for anything back. 7-Zip to unzip things, FileZilla to move files around, Notepad++ to hack on a bit of text.

Nobody ever billed me for those moments. They were just there, free, ready to lend a hand. To me, that's the original spirit of the internet: useful things, given freely, no strings and no hidden agenda.

I learned to code partly thanks to tools like those. Popdoc is my way of giving back a little of what I got.

It's small, it's simple, and it's free for good. My modest brick in the wall.
