HWP vs DOCX — Strengths and limitations
What each format does best, and where it falls short.
HWP Strengths
DOCX Strengths
- Much smaller than the legacy .doc format thanks to ZIP compression.
- Human-readable XML inside — automated extraction and manipulation is straightforward.
- Preserves formatting, images, tables, footnotes, comments, and track changes.
- Supported natively by Word, LibreOffice, Pages, Google Docs, and most modern editors.
- ISO/IEC 29500 standardized — not locked to a single vendor.
Limitations
- Subtle formatting drifts when opened in non-Microsoft editors (fonts, line spacing, tab stops).
- Macros and embedded scripts make older .docm variants a common malware vector.
- Complex layouts with floating objects often reflow unpredictably.
Quality & Compatibility
Our pandoc conversion pipeline preserves document hierarchy, character encoding (UTF-8), vector/pixel fidelity, and structural metadata when transforming HWP into DOCX.
Tips for Best Results
- Take advantage of DOCX's strength: much smaller than the legacy .doc format thanks to ZIP compression.
- Use the highest-quality HWP source you have — conversion can't recover detail that was already lost.
- For bulk jobs, convert one file first to verify settings, then upload the rest.
Limitations
Password-protected or corrupted .hwp files must be unlocked before conversion. Free tier supports up to 25 MB per file (up to 2 GB with Kaiju Cloud).
