Word to HTML Converter – Convert DOCX to Clean HTML Online
Word, Google Docs, and Outlook all leave a trail of clutter behind. Paste it in, choose what to cut, and copy markup you'd actually want to ship.
One tool for anything that pastes as rich text
This isn't only for Word. Paste in a table copied from a spreadsheet, slide text from a presentation, a page from Google Docs, OpenOffice, or any other WYSIWYG editor, and the same cleanup options apply. You can also skip pasting altogether and write a page from scratch directly in the Word pane.
Paste your content in the Word pane and switch your eyes to the HTML pane on the right — the markup updates as you type, instantly.
Where all that markup comes from
Word doesn't write HTML for the web — it writes HTML for itself. Every paragraph carries the font, size, and spacing it would need to reopen perfectly in Word, plus a layer of Microsoft Office namespaces and conditional comments that only Word understands. None of it means anything in a browser; it just rides along.
A single sentence pasted from a Word document often looks like this once it lands in a content editor:
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:
Calibri">Hello World</p>Strip away the noise and what's left is <p>Hello World</p> — which is usually all anyone needed in the first place.
Three steps
-
01
Paste or open
Paste straight from Word, Google Docs, or Outlook into the editor pane, or open a
.docxor.htmlfile from the sidebar — dragging a file onto the page works too. -
02
Choose what to strip
Each icon above the HTML pane is one cleanup option. Click an icon to include it in the next Clean, or hit its small ⚡ to run that one option right away.
-
03
Copy or download
Grab the markup straight from the HTML pane, or download it — as HTML (zipped with its images, if there are any) or as a Word-compatible file.
A quick HTML editor for WordPress or any CMS
When a CMS's built-in editor mangles your formatting, this works as a second editor for the raw markup — compose or paste content here, then copy the cleaned-up HTML straight into your CMS's code view. No plugin or browser extension required.
How the cleanup options work
Every option targets one specific kind of clutter. Turn an option's icon on to include it the next time you press Clean, or run it on its own with the ⚡ button next to it.

Above the HTML pane, Undo steps back through your edits, New page clears both panes to start fresh, Re-indent reformats the markup with consistent spacing, Compress strips that formatting back out for a smaller file, and Encoding switches between literal characters and numeric HTML entities for anything outside basic ASCII.
Questions
Open a .docx file and its images come in as embedded data inside the HTML automatically. When you download as HTML, if the markup contains embedded images, you'll get a .zip with an index.html and an images/ folder instead of a single file — everything properly referenced and ready to use.
Paste your content into the Word pane, switch your attention to the HTML pane, pick the cleanup options you want from the icon row, and press Clean. The markup updates immediately.
Yes — Microsoft Office documents, Google Docs and Sheets, OpenOffice files, and any other WYSIWYG editor's output all paste in the same way. Copy the content, paste it into the Word pane, and switch to the HTML pane for the markup.
The file opener reads modern .docx files directly. For the legacy binary .doc format, open it in Word or another reader first, then copy the section you need and paste it into the Word pane here.
Copy the HTML straight out of the HTML pane, or use Download to save a file. If your site runs on a CMS, paste the markup into its code or HTML view and publish from there.
Yes — paste or type HTML into the HTML pane, then use Download → Word document. It wraps the markup so Word can open it directly as a document.
No. Everything happens in your browser tab using JavaScript that already loaded with the page. There are no accounts and nothing is uploaded to a server — closing the tab clears it.
No hard limit, but very long documents can make the editor feel sluggish, since everything is held in memory in your browser tab rather than on a server.
