Word to HTML

Copying text from Word into WordPress, Blogger, Shopify or an email builder drags along a mess of hidden styles: mso- classes, fixed font sizes, empty spans and inline CSS that breaks your site's design. The cleaner route is to convert the document to semantic HTML first.

This converter uses mammoth.js to read .docx files in your browser and produce clean HTML: real <h1>–<h6> headings from Word's heading styles, proper lists, tables, links, bold and italic — and none of the visual clutter. Images can be embedded directly in the file.

Choose a complete web page with light styling, or a bare HTML fragment ready to paste into a CMS's code view.

The approach is deliberate: mammoth maps meaning, not appearance. A line styled “Heading 2” in Word becomes an <h2> that your site's CSS styles consistently, while a line that merely looks big because someone set 18 pt bold stays a paragraph. That is exactly what search engines and screen readers want.

How It Works

1. Add .docx files — up to 20. The document is unzipped and its XML parsed in your browser.
2. Map styles to HTML — mammoth.js converts Word styles to semantic elements (Heading 1 → <h1>, list paragraphs → <ul>/<ol>, tables → <table>) and ignores fonts, colours and sizes by design.
3. Download — a full HTML page or a clean fragment. Embedded images are included as Base64 data, so the single file displays them without extra uploads.

Compatibility & Support

Supported Input → Output Formats

• Input: .docx (Word 2007 and later, Google Docs and LibreOffice exports)
• Output: .html — complete page or content fragment, UTF-8
• Kept: headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links, bold, italic, footnotes, images

Unsupported Formats

Old binary .doc files (Word 97–2003) and .odt must be saved as .docx first. Page layout — margins, columns, headers and footers, text boxes, page numbers — is intentionally dropped because web pages don't have pages. Tracked changes and comments are not included.

If you need the document to look exactly as it does in Word, convert it to PDF with Word to PDF instead.

File Size Limits

Up to 20 documents per batch and 50 MB each. Documents with many large embedded photos produce large HTML files, because each image is stored inside the page as Base64 (about a third larger than the original image).

Text-only documents are tiny by comparison — a 30-page policy manual typically becomes an HTML file of 60–150 KB, which loads instantly on any connection.

Who Should Use This Tool?

• Students: A student publishing a research write-up on a personal site converts the Word draft to HTML with proper headings for accessibility.
• Freelancers & Designers: A content writer delivers articles to a client's WordPress site as clean HTML fragments that paste into the code editor without stray styles.
• Office Professionals: An HR team converts the employee handbook from Word to an intranet page with a heading structure people can navigate.
• Developers: A developer migrating legacy documentation converts a folder of .docx manuals to HTML as a starting point for a static site.

Why This Tool Beats the Alternatives

• Produces semantic HTML rather than a visual copy full of inline styles.
• No upload of confidential drafts or contracts.
• Batch conversion with a ZIP download.
• Honest about what is dropped (layout, headers, text boxes).
• Free, no account, no branding inserted into your HTML.

Pro Tips

• Use Word's built-in Heading 1/2/3 styles in the source document — bold, large text without a heading style becomes a plain paragraph.
• For websites, choose “Leave images out”, upload the images to your media library, and insert them there for better caching and faster pages.
• Check the “formatting notes” count on each result; unusual custom styles are listed there so you know what to review before publishing the page.
