What is Polaris Office?

Polaris Office is a cross-platform office suite that brings word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, PDF viewing, and cloud storage into a single workspace across Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and the web. It is designed to be compatible with Microsoft Office formats such as DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, as well as PDF, TXT, and the Korean HWP format, making it a practical choice for users who work with mixed document ecosystems. With over 100 million users globally and a long-standing presence in app stores, Polaris Office serves individuals, small businesses, and enterprises that need a lightweight but capable alternative to heavier desktop suites.

Originally developed by Korea-based Infraware (now Polaris Office Corp.), Polaris Office started as a mobile-first document viewer and editor built for Android and iOS. Over time it evolved into a full, freemium office suite with dedicated desktop apps, a browser-based web office, and its own cloud service, My Polaris Drive. Recent releases added AI-powered assistance and multi-device subscription plans, turning Polaris Office from a simple document app into a broader productivity platform.
