Frequently asked questions
How do I open an .mpp file without Microsoft Project?
Drop it on this page. Henry reads it, checks that he can show it, then redraws it as a Gantt chart that opens in any browser. Nothing to install, no Microsoft Project licence to buy.
Does it work on a Mac, a tablet or a phone?
Yes. Microsoft Project has no Mac version, but the schedule you get is a plain HTML file: it opens in Safari, Chrome, Firefox or Edge, on Mac, PC, tablet or phone, and even reads offline.
Which files are accepted?
Microsoft Project .mpp files and its XML format, up to 25 MB. A password-protected file cannot be read: save an unprotected copy. If Henry cannot read a file, he tells you straight away, in plain words.
What does the Gantt chart show?
What the schedule holds: tasks and their levels, links between tasks, actual progress, milestones, deadlines met or missed, the critical path, slack, and the baseline when the file has one. You can switch scale (days, weeks, months), zoom, collapse levels, in light or dark mode.
Is it free?
Yes, and it will stay that way: dropping a schedule and getting its Gantt chart as a file costs nothing. The preview shows without asking for anything; to receive the full schedule, we ask for your first name, last name and email address, with no account and no subscription. A paid version with extra features may be added: it will take nothing away from the free one.
What happens to my file?
The file you drop is deleted as soon as the drawing is ready, whether it worked or not. The drawn schedule is kept encrypted just long enough to hand it to you (1 hour if you go no further, 7 days once you get it), then deletes itself. Nobody reads it; nothing is reused or passed on.
Can I share the schedule with someone who doesn't have MS Project?
Yes, that is what it is for. The file you get travels like any other document: everyone opens it in their browser, with no software and no licence.
Can I edit the schedule?
No: it is a reading, faithful to the file as it was saved. To build a schedule and keep it alive, there is Henry, the planning tool from PMside.
Is this service affiliated with Microsoft?
No. It is compatible with Microsoft Project but has no connection with Microsoft. It is published by PMside, the maker of Henry.
What you are about to see is Henry.
Actual progress, milestones, deadlines met or missed, critical path: the Gantt chart you get speaks Henry's language, PMside's planning tool. Here it is frozen. In Henry, it is alive.
