HWP to PDF Converter
Convert a supported Hangul Word Processor HWP file to PDF online for free. Upload one HWP document and download a shareable PDF without creating an account. Choose your file, review the selected list, then start the tool. The browser sends the file to the processing API and returns a downloadable result.
How it works
Upload one HWP document and convert it into a fixed-layout PDF. The server first uses LibreOffice and falls back to HWP 5.x HTML rendering when the document is not supported by LibreOffice.
The result uses the shown output filename as a fallback when the server does not provide a specific download name. converted-hwp.pdf
File limits
One HWP file, up to 50 MB. Supports HWP 97 and many HWP 5.x files.
The converter accepts one .hwp file up to 50 MB and supports HWP 97 plus many HWP 5.x documents. HWPX, password-protected files, and some advanced Hancom Office features remain unsupported.
Privacy and file handling
Files are used only for the requested PDF task and are removed from temporary storage after processing.
Only upload HWP files you are permitted to process online. Temporary source and output files are removed when the request finishes, whether conversion succeeds or fails.
Output quality
The tool is tuned for practical everyday documents. Very complex layouts, image-heavy PDFs, or scanned pages can affect the final result.
Korean fonts are installed on the server, but unavailable source fonts, equations, embedded objects, vertical text, tables, and page-layout features may render differently. The HWP 5.x fallback can also change pagination. Compare every important page with the original.

Common uses
- Creating a broadly viewable PDF copy of a compatible Korean government, school, business, or personal HWP document.
- Preparing an HWP document for a recipient or upload portal that accepts PDF but not Hangul Word Processor files.
Troubleshooting
- If both conversion paths fail, open the source in Hancom Office and save it as HWP 97, DOCX, or PDF before trying again.
- If Korean text or pagination changes, export directly from Hancom Office when exact visual fidelity is required.

GuidesFrequently asked questions
Which HWP files can I convert?
The converter supports legacy HWP 97 and many HWP 5.x documents. HWPX files, protected documents, or unsupported features may still need to be exported from Hancom Office first.
Will Korean text and formatting be preserved?
The server includes Korean fonts and uses LibreOffice or an HWP 5.x HTML-rendering fallback. Missing fonts, embedded objects, formulas, and complex layouts can still change, so review the PDF before sharing.
Do I need Hancom Office or an account?
No account or local software is required for supported files. Upload the HWP, convert it, and download the PDF in your browser.
