What is free in TutuDocs? — All of it, and no account needed
The online spreadsheet, document and slide editors plus 31 templates are all usable without an account — unlimited, and nothing is watermarked. Below, line by line: what needs a sign-in and whether there are any limits. Vague free is not free.

Needs a sign-in
- Save to the cloud and continue on another device
- Version history and draft recovery
- Share links
- Generating an embed key
Limits — none that we set
- No file-size cap: whether it converts is up to your device, we do not pre-empt it
- No page cap on PDFs, and no cap on how many files at once
- If you do hit a wall we name the cause, offer a way forward and give an event ID — not just “failed”
Honest caveats
- No real-time multi-user collaboration
- Scans need a one-off download of the text-recognition engine (about 6 MB); recognition itself still runs on your device
- While signed out, work lives in your browser only; clearing browser data loses it
- Complex documents may lose some formatting on a round trip to and from Office
FAQ
- Why not promise “free forever”?
- Because nobody can back that claim. What we can say: it is free today, unlimited, with no hidden sign-up wall — and the editors run in your browser, so that part costs us nothing at the margin and we have no reason to ration it.
- What is the difference between free and paid?
- There is no paid tier today. Cloud saving and version history need servers and are open to signed-in users at no charge.
- Could features move behind a paywall later?
- Nothing already shipped gets taken back. If a paid tier ever happens it would sit on the server side — more storage, team features — not lock away what already runs in your browser.
- How is this sustainable?
- The editing and conversion run in your browser, so serving cost is close to zero: a hundred thousand simultaneous users do not change our bill. That is exactly why we can leave it open.
