No software to install. No sign-up. No file size limit. Drop a .hwp or .hwpx file and read it right away.
🔒 This file never leaves your device — nothing is sent to a server
HWP is the native document format of the word processor that South Korean schools, universities, courts and government offices run on. If a Korean institution sent you a form or a contract, it very likely arrived as .hwp or .hwpx — and nothing on your computer will open it. This page will.
macOS
There is no built-in reader for the format. Drag the file onto this page in Safari or Chrome instead, then export to PDF to keep a readable copy.
iPhone & iPad
No app needed. Open this page in Safari, tap to browse, and pick the file from Files, Downloads or a mail attachment.
Android
Works in Chrome as-is. Files received through KakaoTalk land in Downloads and can be selected directly.
Windows & Linux
Useful on machines where you cannot install software — work laptops, university labs, locked-down desktops.
Once the document is open you can download it in another format. Conversion also happens locally, so nothing is uploaded.
HWP → PDF
Print to PDF. No watermark, no page limit.
HWP → Word
Get a real .docx you can edit in Word, Google Docs or Pages.
HWP → HWPX
Migrate the legacy binary format to the open OWPML standard, so the document stays readable by future software.
HWP → Text / Markdown
Body text without the formatting. Tables come across as Markdown tables, though merged cells are flattened.
Correct. The code that reads the document executes in your browser. Load this page once, disconnect from the internet, then open a file — it still works. That is the proof. Safe for contracts, transcripts and government paperwork.
HWPX is the newer open standard (Korean national standard KS X 6101, "OWPML") introduced in 2014. It is a ZIP archive of XML files, much like .docx. HWP is the older binary format. This viewer reads both.
No. Encrypted documents should only be readable by whoever holds the password, so the viewer detects encryption and stops rather than attempting to bypass it.
Tables are rendered including merged cells, and embedded images are shown. Some format-specific objects such as WordArt, charts and equation-editor objects may look different or be omitted.
Nothing. No account, no file count limit, no size cap. Because your own device does the work, serving this page costs us almost nothing.
