How to use HWP converter
What it does
Saves a Hangul document (.hwp) as a PDF or a text file (.txt). The PDF keeps the look of each page as a picture, and the text file takes out the text only. It does not make an exact copy of the original.
Step by step
Drop the HWP file onto the screen, or click to choose it.
When the document is read, page pictures appear in the middle. All pages are picked at first. Click the pages you want, or type a range such as 1-3, 5 under “Pages”.
Under “Output”, choose “PDF” or “Text (.txt)”. PDF is the default. For PDF, set “Quality” to “Standard” or “Sharp”.
Click “Convert to PDF” (“Convert to text” for text).
Click “Save” to save it. The file name is the original name with “-converted” added.
Good to know
The PDF holds each page as a picture, so its text cannot be selected or searched. The page size is the same as the original. A PDF can have up to 150 pages at a time. For more, make it in parts.
Pages are drawn with one font, Pretendard, instead of Hancom's fonts. Letter shapes, line breaks and spacing can therefore differ from what you saw in Hangul. Equations, charts and OLE objects may be missing or look different, depending on the file.
The text file holds text only. It includes the text of headers, tables and text boxes, with one line per table row and cells split by tabs. Pictures, shapes and equations are not included.
It opens HWP 5.0 files. Password-protected files cannot be opened. Open .hwpx files in “HWPX converter”.
Files are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to a server. The first time you use it, the converter (about 12 MB) is downloaded once.

Frequently asked questions
Can I copy text from the PDF?
No. The PDF holds the pages as pictures. If you need the text, set “Output” to “Text (.txt)” and convert again.
The PDF looks different from what I saw in Hangul.
Hancom's fonts are not available, so pages are drawn with Pretendard. Letter shapes and line breaks can differ a little. Tables, pictures and page size are followed.
Can I convert .hwpx files too?
This tool is for .hwp only. Use “HWPX converter” to turn a .hwpx into Word or text.
