FAQ
What's HWPX?+
The new standard format for Korean documents (KS X 6101). It's XML+ZIP based — much like OOXML (.docx) — so it works well with other tools. It's the adopted standard for Korean government documents.
Is all the formatting preserved?+
Main content like body text, tables, formatting, and images is preserved. Some Hancom-exclusive features (macros, certain shape effects) may be lost.
Does the reverse (HWPX to HWP) work?+
Currently only HWP to HWPX. HWPX is the standard and is opened directly by Hancom Office and most viewers, so the reverse is rarely needed.
Why convert to HWPX?+
(1) Government and public bidding documents often require this standard format, (2) the open structure means OneDrive, Google Drive, etc. can preview and search inside, (3) safer for long-term archival.
Which Hancom Office versions can open HWPX?+
Hancom Office 2018 (NEO+) and later natively support HWPX. Older versions (2014 and below) need a separate converter.
The file size changed after conversion — is that normal?+
Yes. HWPX is ZIP-compressed XML, so it can be slightly smaller or larger than the .hwp. Content is the same.
