DOCX to HTML Converter
Extract content from Word documents as clean, semantic HTML.
What is DOCX to HTML Converter?
This tool converts Microsoft Word .docx files into clean, semantic HTML markup. It preserves document structure — headings, paragraphs, bold and italic formatting, lists, tables, hyperlinks, and inline images — while stripping out Word's notoriously messy internal XML. The result is production-ready HTML you can paste directly into web pages, CMS platforms, or email templates. Powered by Mammoth.js, running entirely in your browser.
How to Convert DOCX to HTML
- Upload your .docx file — drag and drop or click to browse. Must be .docx format (not legacy .doc).
- Wait for conversion — Mammoth.js parses the document structure and generates HTML.
- Review the output — the raw HTML appears in a scrollable panel.
- Copy, download, or preview — copy to clipboard, download as an .html file, or open a live preview in a new tab.
What DOCX Features Are Preserved?
The converter handles: headings (mapped to h1-h6 based on Word's heading styles), paragraphs, bold and italic formatting, numbered and bulleted lists, tables with rows and cells, hyperlinks, and inline images (embedded as base64). Features that are not converted include: tracked changes, comments, headers/footers, page numbers, embedded macros, and complex layout features like text boxes or columns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work with .doc files (older Word format)?
No. Only the modern .docx format (Word 2007+) is supported. The older .doc binary format uses a completely different structure. If you have a .doc file, open it in Word or LibreOffice and save as .docx first.
Are images from the Word document included?
Yes. Embedded images are converted to base64-encoded data URIs in the HTML output, so they display without external file references.
How clean is the HTML output?
Very clean. Unlike Word's own "Save as HTML" (which produces bloated, style-heavy markup), Mammoth.js outputs semantic HTML using standard tags like h1, p, strong, em, ul, ol, table, and a — no inline styles or proprietary markup.
Is my document uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser using Mammoth.js. Your document never leaves your device.
