HWP / HWPX

Tools for the Hangul word-processor files used by Korean schools, employers and government offices. They work on Windows, Mac and phones without Hancom Office, and your documents stay in your browser.

Open HWP files without Hancom Office

HWP is the document format of Hancom's "Hangul" word processor, and HWPX is its newer open format (Korean standard KS X 6101, OWPML). If you study or work with Korean organizations you will receive these files, but most computers can't open them. These tools download an open-source engine (rhwp) and process documents on your own device, so nothing is uploaded.
