All essentials

Drop a Word template with {{fields}} in it. Nothing is uploaded.

Free tool

Template Filler

Drop a .docx containing {{fields}}. The fields are detected and shown as a form, or a CSV fills one document per row. Download one .docx or a ZIP of them.

Good to know

  • Fields split across formatting runs in Word are still found.
  • Fields with no value and CSV columns with no field are reported, not silently left blank.
  • Only .docx is read. Save older .doc files as .docx first.

Your files stay on your machine

This tool runs entirely inside your browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent to a server — close the tab and every trace is gone.

How big a file can it take?

There is no upload, so there is no upload limit — but the work happens in this tab, which means your browser’s memory is the budget. Nothing here will refuse a file for being large; a big enough one simply gets slow and, eventually, reloads the tab. The figures below are rules of thumb on a desktop browser, not enforced caps. On a phone or tablet, expect a good deal less.

  • Each output is a full copy of the template, so template size times row count is what binds: comfortable to about 500 documents from a typical template.
  • All the documents are held in memory until the ZIP is built.

Password-protected PDFs are declined whatever their size — unlock the file first. If a run does die on a long document, splitting it into volumes and working through them one at a time is the reliable way round it.
