How to convert DOCX to HTM
- Add your .DOCX file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .HTM in a few seconds.
- Download your new .HTM file.
What to expect
- HTML reflows to fit the display, so fixed Word pagination, margins and exact positioning are not preserved.
- Text, headings, lists and basic styles convert; complex layout and Word-specific features are simplified.
- .htm and .html are the same format; the shorter extension is a historical naming convention.
Frequently asked questions
How faithful is the conversion?
Text, headings, lists and basic formatting become HTML markup. Word's fixed page layout, margins and pagination do not translate because HTML flows to fit the display rather than fixed pages.
Why convert `DOCX` to `HTM`?
HTML is the format web browsers display, so converting a Word document makes its content viewable as a web page and straightforward to embed or publish online.
Where does an `HTM` file open?
HTM is identical to HTML, just the older three-letter extension from the DOS/Windows era. Any web browser displays it and any text editor reads its source.
What is lost in the conversion?
Fixed layout, headers and footers, and precise positioning are approximated or dropped, and some Word-specific features have no HTML equivalent. Basic text structure and formatting carry over.
