Free online HWP to HTML converter

Source format: HWP

HWP is the native document format used by Hancom Hangul (part of Hancom Office), a word processor widely used in South Korea. It is commonly used in government, education, business, and administrative workflows for Korean-language documents. HWP files can store formatted text, tables, images, headers and footers, page layout settings, and other word-processing elements.

Because HWP is a proprietary format, it is not always easy to open in every editor. Converting it to a more universally readable format such as HTML is often useful for publishing, archiving, or viewing in a web browser.

Target format: HTML

HTML is the standard markup language for web pages and web-based content. It is supported by all modern browsers and many editors, content management systems, and documentation tools. Converting HWP to HTML makes the document easier to view online, reuse in web publishing, or import into systems that accept web-ready content.

The main advantages of HTML are broad compatibility, easy preview in browsers, and simple integration with websites or web applications. It is especially useful when the goal is to preserve readable structure such as headings, paragraphs, lists, and basic formatting.

How to convert hwp to html

The most practical way to convert .hwp to .html is to use software that can open HWP files and export them as HTML. If you only need a quick conversion, you can also convert the file on 101convert.com for free, without installing any software.

Method 1: Using Hancom Office

1. Open the .hwp file in Hancom Office / Hancom Hangul.
2. Check that the document opens correctly and that fonts, tables, and images display as expected.
3. Choose File → Save As or File → Export.
4. Select HTML or Web page as the output format.
5. Save the exported file, usually as .html plus a companion folder for images and supporting assets if the program creates one.

Method 2: Using compatible desktop software

1. Open the HWP document in a program that supports HWP import.
2. Verify that the content imported correctly.
3. Use File → Save As or File → Export.
4. Choose HTML Document, Web page, or a similar web format.
5. Save the result and open the HTML file in a browser to confirm the layout.

Method 3: Using a command-line workflow

If your toolchain supports HWP import and HTML export, the general workflow is to open the source file and export it to HTML. For example, some document conversion tools can be scripted to process input.hwp into output.html. The exact command depends on the software you use, because HWP support varies by platform and application.

Quality, compatibility, and limitations

Formatting fidelity can vary when converting HWP to HTML. Simple text, headings, and paragraphs usually convert well, but complex layouts may not. Tables, text boxes, embedded objects, footnotes, and page-specific formatting can be simplified or rearranged in HTML.

Another important point is that HTML is a flow-based web format, while HWP is a page-oriented word-processing format. That means page breaks, exact margins, and print layout details may not carry over perfectly. If the document is intended for web reading, this is usually acceptable; if it must look exactly like the original printed page, HTML may not be the best final format.

Some converters create separate folders for images, CSS, or other resources. Keep those files together with the HTML file so the page displays correctly in a browser.

For best results, use a converter that supports the specific HWP version in your file, and always review the exported HTML in a browser after conversion.
