Private by design
Your files are opened and processed by your browser on this device. They are never uploaded to openWorkstand or anyone else, so the Online Notepad is safe for contracts, IDs, photos and work documents, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded. How local processing works
Good to know
- Very large files are limited by your device’s memory; on a phone, split huge files into smaller parts first.
When to use the Online Notepad
- Jot down a phone number or an idea quickly.
- Keep a temporary to-do list.
- Draft a message before sending it.
Troubleshooting
The file does not open
Check that it is one of the supported formats above and opens in another app. Damaged files and password-protected PDFs cannot be read until they are repaired or unlocked.
It is slow or stops on a very large file
Everything runs on your device, so speed depends on its memory. Close other tabs, use a computer rather than a phone, or split the file into smaller parts first.
The download did not start
Look for your browser’s download bar or icon. Some browsers ask once before a site may download files; allow it and click the button again.
