Files are opened inside this browser only. Nothing is sent anywhere.
The .hwpx format used as the Korean public-sector standard is supported.
The body fragments inside the document are joined in order.
The contents appear on screen and the copy button puts them on your clipboard.
HWPX is an open format (compressed XML) with a published structure, so a browser can open and read it.
The older HWP (5.0) is an undocumented binary format. If you have the Korean word processor, use "Save As" and pick HWPX, then try again.
The Korean government is migrating its document format to the open HWPX. Central ministries moved years ago, and with local government following in 2026, files arriving from public bodies are increasingly HWPX.
Part of the point of that change is that the contents should be readable without Hancom Office installed.
Yes, though without the table structure. The cell contents run together in order. If the table layout matters, use the Hancom viewer.
The document may be made entirely of images. It is also possible the extension says .hwpx but the file is something else.
This tool extracts text only. Fonts, alignment and images do not come across.
The file is never transmitted, so confidential documents are fine. The archive is unpacked and the XML read inside your browser.
You double-click a .hwp file on your Mac and get a message that no application can open it. Before you set up Windows just for this, check what you actually need to do with the file. For most people, a browser is enough.
You convert a Korean HWP to Word and the tables shift, the fonts change and the line breaks move. What breaks element by element when HWP becomes DOCX, which route keeps the most, and when you should not convert to Word at all.
Someone in Korea sends you a file ending in .hwpx and nothing on your computer will open it. This page explains what HWPX is, how it differs from the older .hwp, why you are seeing more of it, and what to do when you just need to read it or send it back.
This product was developed with reference to the HWP document file (.hwp) specification published by Hancom.
