How to convert HWP to DOCX
- Add your .HWP file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .DOCX in a few seconds.
- Download your new .DOCX file.
What to expect
- Plain text, headings, and images usually survive conversion; vertical text, complex Korean tables, and footnotes can shift - review the output before use.
- If your file has the
.hwpxextension (Hancom's newer XML format, default since 2021), ONLYOFFICE handles it directly and recent LibreOffice versions support it too. - HWP files are a known malware delivery vector targeting Korean-language users; only open files from trusted senders and scan unexpected attachments first.
Frequently asked questions
Can Microsoft Word open an HWP file directly?
No - Word has no HWP import filter. Convert the file to
.docx first with LibreOffice or an online converter, then open it in Word normally.Will all formatting be preserved?
Simple documents convert cleanly. Korean-specific features such as vertical text and complex tables may not translate perfectly, so check the output carefully.
What if I have an HWPX file instead of HWP?
The same tools apply: ONLYOFFICE opens
.hwpx directly, and recent LibreOffice versions support it too - just save as .docx from either app.Is it free to convert HWP to DOCX?
Yes. LibreOffice Writer and ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors are both free to download and use, and the on-page converter on this site is also free.
