From document to web content

Word to HTML Converter

Copy content from Word and turn it into clean HTML for your website. Keep useful structure, remove Office formatting, and review the changes before publishing.

Paste from an open Word document, or import an exported .html, .htm, or .txt file. This tool does not open .doc or .docx files. Images, page layout, and embedded objects are not converted.

1. Add your content

Input format Paste Word content or HTML here

Formatted Word paste replaces this field with its HTML. Plain source text inserts at the cursor. Limit: 500,000 characters (UTF-16 units). Source is never rendered.

Or open a local exported file

Maximum 1 MiB. In Word, use Save As and choose Web Page or Web Page, Filtered. Save as UTF-8 when possible.

Encoding for the next file import

Cleanup options Rebuild common Word numbered and bullet lists Change nonbreaking spaces to normal spaces Remove empty paragraphs Keep supported links and internal anchors Keep bold, italic, and basic text emphasis Shift all headings down one level (h1 becomes h2)

Output type

2. Review and export

Styles, classes, active content, and media are removed. No source links or images are opened by conversion.

Ready. Paste content or load the sample to begin.

Clean HTML

Review the code and notes. Your site's styles determine its final appearance.

How to convert a Word document to HTML

Open the document in Word. Copy the section you want, then paste into the source field. If the browser exposes formatted clipboard data, the field shows its HTML. Otherwise, choose Plain text or import an exported HTML file.
Choose cleanup options. Use an HTML fragment for a CMS code block or a complete document for a standalone file. Select Convert to HTML.
Check the heading outline, text, and conversion notes. Copy the HTML or download it. Review the result in your destination site's editor before publishing.

What is preserved?

Semantic headings, paragraphs, basic bold and italic styling, blockquotes, code, native ordered and unordered lists, and ordinary HTML tables are retained. Common Word list paragraphs with recognizable decimal or bullet markers are rebuilt as real lists. Valid list starts, item values, table spans, and existing header-cell scope are retained within practical limits. Safe IDs can preserve internal document links.

Links can use HTTP, HTTPS, simple mailto or telephone addresses, a document fragment, or a site-root path. Local file links, relative file paths, embedded data, unusual schemes, and ambiguous links are removed while their visible text remains. Link destinations are not checked or fetched.

When clipboard data identifies a selected fragment, only that content is converted. Surrounding list or table containers may be kept to preserve its structure. If the selection boundaries are incomplete or inconsistent, copy the selection again or import an exported HTML file.

What needs manual review?

This is a content converter, not a replica of Word's printed layout or a general security sanitizer. It removes fonts, colors, margins, Office metadata, scripts, forms, media, and embedded objects. Image alt text becomes an image placeholder when available. Upload images separately and add them in your CMS. Footnotes, tracked changes, text boxes, equations, and complex numbering may lose their original meaning or structure. Review them against Word.

Alphabetic, Roman-numeral, or ambiguous Word list labels are kept as paragraphs for manual cleanup. Native HTML lists already using those formats are preserved. A missing level in a Word list is normalized and reported. This tool does not infer a heading from large text or infer a table header from bold cells. Add appropriate headers and captions to data tables. The tokenizer supports common exported document HTML, not every browser error-recovery rule. Seriously malformed markup is rejected.

Plain text conversion makes paragraphs from blank lines and line breaks from single newlines. It cannot recover headings, tables, or emphasis that the clipboard did not supply. Limits are 500,000 input UTF-16 units, a 1 MiB imported file, 25,000 parser units, 80 levels of source nesting, and 2 MiB of generated HTML. Save older encodings as UTF-8 if the available import encodings do not match.

Privacy and output size

Conversion runs in this browser tab. The tool does not upload or save your document, fetch referenced resources, or use an external conversion service. Reset clears the tool's content; copy and download happen only when you choose them. The surrounding website may use its shared analytics. Output byte counts use UTF-8; the size change compares generated HTML with the source text, so complete-document wrappers or plain-text conversion can increase the size.

HTML structure follows the WHATWG HTML standard. Clipboard capture uses the W3C clipboard event model. No clipboard-reading permission is needed to paste normally.
