Trio Office

Trio Office is a free alternative to the MS Office suite of the famous home and business productivity apps such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.



Built from the ground up to provide users with all levels of experience with the usable productivity apps that feature all commonly needed tools for text, spreadsheet, and presentation slide editing, this application represents one of the best apps users can get on their Windows 10/11 PC.

One of the core functionalities of this suite of apps is complete compatibility file formats that other large office suites can manage, including MS Office, Google Docs apps, Open Office, and many of its derivatives (such as LibreOffice and others). As a bonus, Trio office is also fully compatible with PDF viewing and exporting!

Trio Office: DOCX & XLSX Editor is a 3rd party software that is not associated with, endorsed by, or affiliated with Microsoft.

Anyone who has ever worked with MS Office apps will immediately feel at home when first time starting Trio Office apps. Its editor apps for text documents, spreadsheets, and slides all feature the standard layout of tools and services, with intuitive tool placement, shortcuts, and workflow techniques that can instantly enable anyone to quickly start working on their daily office work.

UI is translated to over 20 international languages. The suite is suitable not only for brief home or schoolwork, but also for extensive work office tasks that include daily management of hundreds of files, collaboration with co-workers, and sharing or importing data with clients and customers.

One of the biggest strengths of Trio Office Products is its ease of installation. Since the suite is only available on Windows 10 or Windows 11 via its Windows Store, users need to only visit its official store page and click on the large “Get” button.



This will install the entire suite and prepare the PC for all kinds of office productivity work.

The compatibility of the app with other commonly used formats is extensive and impressive, covering over 20 types of text documents, over 20 types of spreadsheet formats, over 10 types of presentation file formats, and a wide variety of graphic files, formula files, and more.

The only negative points of the Trio Office may be found in its large installation size (with download archive clocking at over 850 MB) and the fact that some of its core functionalities are locked away behind the premium subscription.

One such premium feature is in fact printing, which is a tool that many users see as incredibly important and commonly used in their daily office document workflow. It can be used for FREE by all Windows 11/Windows 10 users.
