IronWord is compatible with Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2016 and newer. It supports development across .NET 9, 8, 7, 6, .NET Core, .NET Standard 2.0+, and .NET Framework 4.6.2 and above.

IronWord does not rely on graphical components like System.Drawing, which makes it well-suited for headless and server-based environments. This allows it to operate efficiently on Windows Server Core configurations, where graphical interfaces and libraries are limited or missing.

Please note

Note: When deploying on Windows Server Core variants, ensure that your environment includes all necessary .NET runtime and OS dependencies. While IronWord does not have graphical requirements, some advanced operations may rely on system-level libraries that need to be manually enabled or installed.
