DOCX → HTML

Word document to HTML.
Without the Word junk.

Save As Web Page produces thousands of lines of mso- styles. This produces markup you'd write by hand.

Headings become <h2>, tables become <table>, and nothing Microsoft-specific survives.

Or pick one with the button. Or just paste with Ctrl+V. Dozens at a time is fine.

How it works

  1. 01Drop a .docx onto the box above, or click to pick one. Dozens at a time is fine.
  2. 02Mammoth reads the document's structure — real heading levels, real tables, real lists — and writes HTML from it. That HTML then goes through DOMPurify, because Mammoth's own docs are explicit that its output isn't sanitised.
  3. 03Choose what happens to images, then copy the HTML, download the file, or take a zip with the images beside it.

What's supported

  • Every .docx Word has written since 2007, plus Word Online and Word for Mac
  • Old .doc from Word 97–2003, detected from the file header rather than the extension
  • Heading levels as <h1>–<h6>, taken from Word's styles rather than guessed from font size
  • Tables as <table>, lists as <ul>/<ol> with real nesting, links, bold, italic, strikethrough
  • Blockquotes, code-styled paragraphs as <pre><code>, and captions as <p class="caption">
  • Embedded images: inlined as base64, extracted into an images/ folder for the zip, or dropped

What it won't do

  • Word's visual formatting — fonts, colours, exact spacing — is deliberately not carried over
  • Merged table cells lose their colspan and rowspan; each cell becomes its own <td>
  • Track changes and comments are dropped — you get the final text, not the editing history
  • Text boxes, SmartArt and charts don't survive; only their text, if any
  • Images don't come out of old .doc files — that format hides them where a browser can't reach
  • Encrypted documents are refused rather than half-read

What gets thrown away

Word and Google Docs both wrap their content in a layer of junk that only means something inside their own editor. It goes.

Structure stays: headings are headings, tables are tables, lists are lists. It's the decoration that's removed.

Questions people ask

Word's export is built to make the page look identical in a browser, so it writes an enormous block of CSS, an mso- style attribute on nearly every element, class names like MsoNormal, and Office-only tags like <o:p>. This does the opposite: it reads the structure and throws the presentation away. You get a few dozen lines of semantic HTML instead of a few thousand lines of markup you can't edit.

Going the other way?

DocsToMD is this same tool pointed in reverse — Word, PDF, Excel and HTML into Markdown. Same approach, same privacy model, opposite output.
