Convert HWP to TXT

Understanding HWP and TXT file formats

The HWP file format, short for Hangul Word Processor, is a proprietary format used primarily in South Korea. It is developed by Hancom and is widely used for creating and editing documents in the Korean language. HWP files can contain text, images, tables, and other elements, making them similar to other word processing formats like DOC or DOCX.

On the other hand, the TXT file format is a standard text file format that contains plain text without any formatting. TXT files are universally compatible and can be opened by virtually any text editor or word processor. They are ideal for storing simple text data without any complex formatting.

How to convert HWP to TXT

Converting an HWP file to a TXT file involves extracting the plain text content from the HWP document. This process removes any formatting, images, or other non-text elements, leaving only the raw text data.
