Word to HTML Converter

Paste a document from Microsoft Word or Google Docs and get clean, simple HTML: headings, paragraphs, lists, links and bold or italic text, without the hidden styles, spans and empty paragraphs those editors add. Plain text works too: blank lines become paragraphs, lines starting with - or 1. become lists and lines starting with # become headings. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type or paste is sent to We.Inc or anyone else.

How it works

  1. Copy your text in Word, Google Docs or another editor.
  2. Click into the paste box and paste. The tool reads the formatted version your editor put on the clipboard, not just the plain text.
  3. It removes Word and Docs clutter: mso- styles, <o:p> tags, class and style attributes, wrapper spans and empty paragraphs. Bold and italic styles become <strong> and <em>.
  4. Choose options: keep or drop links, keep images, convert smart quotes to straight quotes, and whether to keep heading levels.
  5. For text without formatting, switch to Plain text mode and type or paste. Blank lines, - bullets, 1. numbers and # headings are turned into HTML.
  6. Check the rendered preview, then copy the HTML or download it as a file.

What is kept and what is removed

Kept: headings h1 to h6, paragraphs, line breaks, ordered and unordered lists, links (unless you turn them off), bold, italic, underline, blockquotes, tables and, if you choose, images. Removed: every class, style and id attribute, mso- styling, Office tags such as <o:p>, font tags, spans that only carried styling, comments, and paragraphs that contain nothing but spaces.

Formatting that Word or Docs expressed only as a style, such as a span with font-weight: 700, is converted into the matching tag (<strong>, <em> or <u>) before the style is thrown away, so emphasis survives.

Plain text mode rules

Plain text mode is for notes, emails and text from apps that do not copy formatting. A blank line starts a new paragraph. A single line break inside a paragraph becomes <br>. Lines starting with -, * or a bullet become an unordered list, and lines starting with 1. or 1) become an ordered list. Lines starting with #, ## or ### become headings of that level.

Characters that mean something in HTML (<, > and &) are escaped, so pasted code shows as text instead of breaking the page.

Tips

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a Word document to HTML?

Open the document, select the text and copy it. Paste it into the box on this page. The tool reads the formatted clipboard data, removes Word's extra markup and shows clean HTML you can copy or download.

Why is HTML from Word so messy?

Word adds its own styles (mso- properties), Office namespace tags such as <o:p>, class names and inline styles so the text looks identical in other Office programs. Websites do not need any of that, and it can override your site's own fonts and spacing.

Does it work with Google Docs?

Yes. Google Docs wraps text in spans with inline styles and a wrapper <b> tag with an id. The converter removes those, keeping bold, italic, headings, lists and links.

Is the preview safe?

The preview removes scripts, iframes, forms, event handler attributes such as onclick, and javascript: links before showing anything. The HTML you copy has the same things removed.

Is my document uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion happens in your browser using its built-in HTML parser. Nothing is sent to We.Inc or any other server.
