Open GlassPad — Start WritingWhy use GlassPad?
Private & Local
Your documents never leave your device. Auto-save uses browser local storage — nothing is uploaded to a server. Perfect for sensitive notes and drafts.
Export PDF & Word
Download your finished document as a PDF for sharing or printing, or as a Microsoft Word (.docx) file for further editing in Office or Google Docs.
Import Word, Markdown & Text
Open isn’t limited to GlassPad HTML anymore — import .docx, Markdown, or plain text and keep editing locally.
GlassCompress handoff
Send a document image to GlassCompress, shrink it privately, then insert the compressed result back into your draft.
Rich Text Formatting
Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, headings, block quotes, fonts, colors, highlights, alignment, bullet lists, and numbered lists — everything you expect from a word processor.
Tables & Images
Insert tables with multiple styles (bordered, striped, glass, and more). Add, crop, resize, and rotate images. Create collages and floating text boxes.
Page Setup & Print
Choose A3, A4, A5, Letter, Legal, Tabloid, Executive, B5, custom, or auto-fit pages in portrait or landscape. Set margins, backgrounds, watermarks, repeating headers and footers, or hide on-screen page guides.
Find & Replace
Search your document with case sensitivity and whole-word matching. Replace one occurrence or all at once with inline highlighting.
Version History
Save snapshots of your work and page setup, restore previous versions, and undo structural edits such as tables, images, shapes, and spacing changes.
Reusable Format Painter
Copy text and paragraph formatting once, paste it onto another selection, or lock the painter to apply the same style repeatedly until you turn it off.
Side-by-Side References
Open images or multi-page PDFs in a large resizable panel beside your document. Navigate PDF pages, zoom, and scroll independently while writing.
Dark Mode & Full Screen
Switch to dark mode for comfortable night editing. Enter full-screen mode for a distraction-free writing experience.
