Package Offers Collaborative Editing, Extended Support, and AI for Automated Tasks
Launched in May 2025, ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.0 stands out as a free productivity suite developed in HTML5. According to Ascensio System SIA, the developer, the goal is to provide comprehensive features for users seeking an efficient, intuitive, and collaborative alternative.
This version combines document editors, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDFs in a redesigned environment. Thus, it facilitates work in different formats.
Clear Interface and Practical Features for Workflow
With the update, the interface received enhancements focused on user experience. According to the official statement from Ascensio System SIA, the editors have a clean design, prioritizing clarity and speed.
Editing texts, creating spreadsheets, and assembling presentations has become more intuitive. Moreover, the team incorporated the Diagram Viewer for web, desktop, and mobile devices.
This allows users to open diagram files, such as Visio (.vsdx), without resorting to third-party software. This optimizes daily processes.
Extended Support for Popular Formats and Binary Files
Another strong point of version 9.0 is compatibility with multiple formats. Since May 2025, users of ONLYOFFICE Docs have support for Markdown files (.md) and OpenDocument Graphics (.odg).
For those working with Excel, there are new features. Binary files (.xlsb) can be edited directly, without the need for prior conversions. These enhancements eliminate barriers when handling different types of files.
Thus, they ensure more fluidity.

Artificial Intelligence Automates Spreadsheets and Optimizes Reports
An important differentiator of ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.0 is the application of artificial intelligence. Through this technology, users can automate repetitive tasks in spreadsheets. This makes data analysis much more efficient.
Thus, daily reports require less time. Furthermore, as disclosed by Ascensio System SIA, this feature helps reduce manual errors. This boosts team productivity.
Collaborative, Cross-Platform, and Customizable PDF Editing
Another improvement implemented in May 2025 is real-time collaborative PDF editing. The functionality allows opening, editing, rearranging pages, and sharing changes with colleagues without complications.
Additionally, ONLYOFFICE Docs is available for desktop, web, Android, and iOS. Users can also open Markdown files, apply filters to spreadsheets, and perform text recognition in images.
To complement, the light or dark mode has been maintained, catering to those who value visual comfort. All this reinforces the platform’s commitment to providing an open-source, free solution without limitations for individual use.
ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.0 can be installed on computers, smartphones, or used online, always at no cost to the regular user.
