HWP to TXT Converter — Frequently Asked Questions ▼

What is an HWP file?

HWP is the proprietary document format of Hancom Office (Hangul Word Processor), the dominant word processing software in South Korea. Government agencies, universities, and companies throughout Korea publish documents, forms, contracts, and reports in HWP format. Outside Korea, the format is essentially unreadable — no standard text editor or word processor opens it. Converting to TXT extracts all the plain text content for use in any application, from text editors to machine learning pipelines.

What content is preserved and what is lost when converting HWP to TXT?

Plain text conversion preserves all paragraph text, including Korean Hangul characters encoded as UTF-8. Heading text and list item text are included as plain lines. What is lost: all formatting (bold, italic, font sizes, colors), images, tables (table content may be linearized as sequential lines), and document metadata like author or creation date. If you need to retain tables, formatting, or images, convert to DOCX or HTML instead.

What encoding does the TXT output use?

The output is UTF-8 encoded plain text. UTF-8 represents Korean Hangul characters correctly and is supported by all modern text editors (Notepad on Windows 10+, VS Code, Sublime Text, Vim), programming languages, and database systems. If you open the file in an older Windows application that defaults to ANSI encoding, you may need to explicitly specify UTF-8 in the open dialog.

Can I use the TXT output for full-text search or NLP processing?

Yes. Extracting the text content from HWP to TXT is a common first step for building searchable document indexes or feeding Korean-language text into NLP pipelines. The UTF-8 output is directly importable into Elasticsearch, Apache Solr, and Python text processing libraries (KoNLPy, NLTK, spaCy). For batch text extraction from large HWP document archives, the desktop Total Doc Converter is more efficient than the online tool.

Is there a file size limit for online conversion?

The online converter accepts files up to 50 MB. HWP documents are binary files but typically under 5 MB for text-heavy documents; large files with many embedded images may be closer to the limit. If you need to extract text from hundreds or thousands of HWP files in one operation — a common need for document digitization or archival projects — use the desktop Total Doc Converter, which processes entire directories with no file size cap.

How do I batch-extract text from HWP files using the command line?

Use the desktop Total Doc Converter from coolutils.com: TotalDocConverter.exe C:\HWP\*.hwp /txt /out C:\Text\ /subfolders. Each source HWP file produces a corresponding .txt file in the output directory. The tool runs on Windows 7–11 and can be integrated into data pipelines, scheduled tasks, or document management workflows. A 30-day free trial is available at coolutils.com with no registration required.
