File System Access API
Open, edit, and save files directly from your web browser
About File Handling in PWAs

The File System Access API allows web apps to read or save changes directly to files and folders on the user's device. This creates a more seamless experience similar to native applications.

Key Features:

  • Open files directly from the device's file system
  • Edit file contents in the browser
  • Save changes back to the original file
  • Create new files and save them to the device
  • Register as a file handler for specific file types

Note: File System Access API requires a secure context (HTTPS) and is currently supported in Chromium-based browsers.
