About HWP to Word
Need to fill in or edit a Korean .hwp form but only have Microsoft Word, Pages or Google Docs? Convert it to DOCX and edit it in the app you already use. Text, tables and images are rebuilt as real Word content, not pictures.
Frequently asked questions
What is an HWP file?
HWP and HWPX are the document formats of Hangul (Hancom Office, 한글), the word processor used by the Korean government, schools, universities and many companies. Visa forms, school notices and public tenders are often published only as .hwp, which Word, Pages and Google Docs can't open.
Can I edit the form after converting?
Yes. The DOCX contains normal editable text and tables. Check the layout before submitting: complex forms may need small spacing fixes.
Can I convert Word back to HWP?
Not yet. Without Hancom's own software we can't guarantee an HWPX file that opens correctly in Hangul, so we don't offer it. Most Korean offices also accept PDF or DOCX.
Does every HWP file convert perfectly?
Most text, tables and images come through well, including government forms with complex tables. We use the open-source H2Orestart reader, so very elaborate layouts can shift slightly. Password-protected, DRM (distribution) documents and old Hangul 97 (HWP 3.0) files can't be converted; open them in Hangul and save again as .hwpx first.
Is my document kept?
No. Files travel over an encrypted HTTPS connection, are converted automatically and are permanently deleted after 1 hour. Nobody looks at them and they are never used for AI training.
Is HWP to Word free?
Yes – completely free, with no account, no daily limit and no watermark.
Are my files safe?
Files are sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection, processed automatically by our servers, never shared and permanently deleted after 1 hour. Nobody looks at your documents.
Do I need to install software or sign up?
No. It works in any browser on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android. No account needed.
Is there a watermark?
Never. Your converted files are clean, with no watermark or branding.
