Mail merge without Word or Microsoft Office

Last updated: June 2026

Veidne lets you run a mail merge without Microsoft Word or Office. It works in any modern browser, so you can upload a Word template and an Excel spreadsheet, generate one personalized document per row, and download the results without installing or buying anything. Your files stay on your device.

What it is: a mail merge that needs no Word or Office install.

Who it is for: people who do not have Word or Office, or do not want to use it, but still need personalized documents from a spreadsheet.

Free: yes, funded by donations.

Private: nothing is uploaded. The merge runs in your browser.

How it works

  1. Upload a Word (.docx) template. You can create one in any free editor, such as Google Docs or LibreOffice, and save it as .docx.
  2. Click the words you want to personalize to turn them into fields.
  3. Upload your Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet, one row per document.
  4. Generate and download. Open the results in any editor you like, or export them to PDF.

Optional PDF export: if you prefer PDFs, Veidne can convert the documents. That step uses a server in the EU that converts and deletes them right away, without storing or sharing.
