How to convert HTM to XML
- Add your .HTM file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .XML in a few seconds.
- Download your new .XML file.
What to expect
- CSS styling, JavaScript and visual layout do not transfer; the result holds text and structure as XML tags.
- The output is well-formed XML intended for machine reading, not a visually rendered page.
- Externally referenced resources such as images and stylesheets are not embedded.
Frequently asked questions
How faithful is the result?
The document's text and structural elements (headings, paragraphs, lists) are carried into well-formed XML tags. Visual presentation from CSS and any JavaScript behavior is not part of a generic XML structure and is dropped.
Why convert `HTM` to `XML`?
Both are plain-text markup, but XML is stricter and tag-based, so the content becomes easier for programs to parse and process as structured data rather than as a page to display.
Where can I use the `XML` output?
XML is plain text, so any text editor or XML-aware tool reads it. It is meant to be processed by software, not rendered like a web page.
What is lost in the conversion?
Styling, scripts and interactive behavior do not survive, and externally linked images or stylesheets remain references rather than content. Only the text and document structure carry over.
