What is a HWP file?
HWP (Hangul Word Processor) is a proprietary word processing format developed by the South Korean company Hancom. It’s widely used in South Korea for official documents, especially in government and education.
HWP files support complex formatting, Korean text encoding, tables, images, and macros. Outside of South Korea, support for this format is limited, though conversion tools and viewers are available.
How to open HWP files
HWP files are opened with Hancom Office software, available mainly for Windows and Korean-language users. Some versions of LibreOffice and online tools like Hancom Space also support the format.
To improve compatibility, convert HWP files to DOCX or PDF using AnyConv or Hancom’s export features.
