Questions

Is it free? Do I need an account?+

It's free and there's nothing to sign up for. The app opens the same tools as this website in their own window, so it does everything the site does.

Am I downloading an installer? Is it safe?+

There's no program file to download. Your browser simply opens this site as an app window, so nothing gets installed on your computer. Files are still processed only inside your browser and never sent to a server.

How do I update it?+

You don't have to. When the site changes, the app opens with the new version the next time you launch it.

Which files can I open with a double click?+

PDF, HWP, HWPX, Ichitaro (.jtd) and DocuWorks (.xdw, .xbd), on Windows or Mac computers where you installed the app with Chrome or Edge. The first time, your browser asks whether EZPZ File may open the file. On Windows, right-click the file, pick EZPZ File under "Open with", and set it as the default app if you want double-clicks to go straight to it.

Does it really work offline?+

The editors you saved and any tool you have opened before work without a connection. Tools you have never used and the articles need internet.

How do I remove it?+

In Chrome or Edge, open the menu at the top right of the app window and choose "Uninstall EZPZ File". If you added it from Safari on a Mac, delete it from the Applications folder in Finder. On a phone, press and hold the icon and remove it.
