About this Word to HTML converter
Copying from Word into a website editor drags along hidden formatting. This converter produces clean, semantic HTML instead — real headings, lists and tables — so the content looks right with your site's styles.
How Word to HTML conversion works
- The DOCX is read in your browser with Mammoth, which maps Word styles (Heading 1, List Paragraph…) to HTML elements.
- Inline formatting such as bold, italic and links is kept; visual-only formatting is dropped.
- The output is sanitised to remove anything unsafe.
Conversion quality: High fidelity. Headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links and images are converted to clean semantic HTML. Exact fonts and page layout are not.
When to convert Word to HTML
- Publishing Word documents on WordPress, Ghost or any CMS
- Creating accessible web versions of documents
Limitations to be aware of
- Fonts, colours, text boxes, headers/footers and page layout are intentionally not reproduced.
- Legacy .doc files aren't supported in the browser.
Word vs HTML
Word (DOCX). DOCX is the default Microsoft Word document format. It stores text, styles, tables and images as XML files inside a ZIP archive.
HTML. HTML is the markup language of web pages. An HTML file can be opened in any browser and edited with any text editor.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the HTML look plainer than my document?
The converter keeps the structure (headings, lists, tables) and drops visual styling so the content fits into your website's design.
Are my files uploaded?
No. This tool reads and processes files directly in your web browser. Nothing is sent to Expensico's servers, and the data is discarded when you close or reload the page.
