What it does
  • Your existing files stay intact

    Parts of a file the editors do not yet understand — pivot caches, themes, custom styles — are preserved byte for byte and written back on save. Opening a document in IronIngot does not quietly strip what it cannot display.

  • The PDF matches the screen

    Export draws from the same display list the editor renders, so the exported document is what you were looking at, not a second implementation that drifts.

  • Recalculation in the right order

    The spreadsheet works out which cells depend on which and recalculates along that graph, so a chain of formulas settles correctly in one pass.

  • Copy and paste works with Excel

    Data copied out lands in Excel as data, and data copied in from Excel arrives as cells rather than a block of text.

  • PivotTables that recompute, not a frozen block

    A PivotTable is stored as a definition rather than pasted values, so it reruns against the live cells and its fields and aggregate can be changed afterwards. Fields are chosen from four dropdowns rather than dragged into a field list. The limit worth knowing before you depend on it — a file saved here opens in Excel with the right numbers as ordinary cells, not as a pivot object Excel can re-pivot. Pivots that arrived in an Excel file are preserved as they were.

  • One engine, two faces

    The desktop applications and the browser version share the same core, so a file behaves the same in both rather than the web version being a limited preview.

  • It exists to remove a per-seat fee

    IronIngot was built so IronDrive could stop paying a per-user licence to a third party for in-browser editing. That cost saving is the whole reason it is worth writing.

In useCaptured from the running software
The IronIngot spreadsheet with a quarterly budget workbook open, departments down the rows and July, August and September across the columns. Cell E2 is selected and the formula bar reads =SUM(B2:D2).
A real .xlsx, opened from disk. The selected cell holds =SUM(B2:D2); change a month and the row, the percentage and the totals row follow.
The IronIngot spreadsheet running in a browser tab, with a sixteen-row regional sales table behind a Create PivotTable dialog. The dialog offers four dropdowns - Rows set to Region, Columns to Quarter, Values to Sales, and Summarize by set to Sum.
The browser build, part-way through making a PivotTable. Rows, columns, values and the aggregate are four dropdowns, and that is the whole field picker.
The IronIngot word processor on the desktop, its title bar reading "Spring Planting Plan.docx - Writer". The document shows a coloured heading, a paragraph with bold and italic runs, a bulleted list, a four-column table with a shaded header row, and a numbered list.
The desktop word processor with a .docx open from disk. Headings, bold and italic, both kinds of list and a table, all read straight from the file.
