Project Online is retiring September 30, 2026. Every PMO running Microsoft Project today needs to evaluate migration paths, and evaluation shouldn't require logging into a new platform just to see what a migration looks like.
These tools run on your files entirely in-browser or through a parse-and-discard server pipeline, we don't store the source bytes, we don't train on your data, and you don't need an account. Use them as many times as you want.
New freebies ship here as we build them. If there's a diagnostic you'd like to see, tell us.
Ready to do more than diagnose?
When you're ready to actually migrate, Onplana's free tier imports your .mpp file in one click.
