Convert HTM to Word — Free Online Converter

HTM files are web pages saved with the DOS-era three-character extension. "Word" in our conversion system maps to DOCX, Microsoft's Open XML document format that has been the default in Word since 2007. DOCX files are ZIP archives containing XML markup for document structure, styles, themes, and embedded media — a fundamentally modern format that replaced the binary DOC standard.

Converting HTM to Word produces a fully editable DOCX document from web page content. This is the most practical web-to-document conversion because DOCX is the universal format for business documents, supported by Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Apple Pages, LibreOffice Writer, and virtually every word processing application.

When web-generated content needs to enter a document-based workflow — editing, commenting, reviewing, printing, signing — Word (DOCX) is the expected format. Business reports generated as HTM pages need to become Word files for executive review. Web forms and application outputs need to become editable documents for processing. Marketing copy published as web pages needs to be exported as Word files for translation agencies.

Word documents also support features that HTML does not: tracked changes, comments, table of contents generation, headers and footers with page numbers, and mail merge. Converting HTM to Word unlocks these document-specific capabilities for web-originated content.
