Why do HWP files need converting?

HWP is the native format of Hancom Office (한글), the word processor used by Korean government agencies, universities, and companies. Most software outside Korea cannot open it. Converting to PDF preserves the document's appearance so you can read, print, or share it with anyone.

How it works

  1. Drop your .hwp or .hwpx file above (up to 15MB free).
  2. Preview the converted document instantly — check the quality first.
  3. Download it as PDF, Markdown, or plain text.

Is it safe?

Yes. Your file is processed in memory and immediately discarded. We never store your documents, and there is nothing to sign up for. Also see: how to open an HWP file or what an HWP file actually is.

Frequently asked questions

Is converting my HWP file to PDF safe?

Yes. Your file is uploaded, converted in memory, and deleted immediately afterwards. We never store your documents and there is no account to create.

Will the PDF keep the original Korean layout?

For HWPX files saved by Hancom Office we reproduce the original page layout — logos, tables and positioning included. Very complex documents can vary, so a preview is shown before you download.

Do I need Hancom Office or any software installed?

No software at all — you work entirely from your browser. The file is sent to our server, converted in memory, and discarded immediately. Nothing to download, install, or sign up for.

Is it really free?

Yes. Free daily conversions with no watermark. Optional passes exist only for heavy or batch use.

What is the difference between HWP and HWPX?

HWP is the older binary format (Hancom version 5); HWPX is the newer XML-based format used by recent Korean government documents. Both are supported.
