Why convert HTML to Word (DOCX)?
HTML files are best for content that will be read on the web. Word (DOCX) is the better choice for documents you still need to edit. It opens in word, Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages, while HTML opens in every browser.
DOCX is lossless, so nothing your HTML file contains is thrown away on the way.

What happens to your file
A genuine Word document is assembled in your browser with docx, an open-source library that writes the same Office Open XML format Microsoft Word uses. Headings become Word heading styles, so the navigation pane and table of contents work, and lists, tables, links, bold and italic text are kept. Fonts and colours use Word's defaults.
Tips for a clean conversion
- Drop a whole folder's worth of HTML files at once. They convert one after another and you can download everything as a single ZIP.
- Keep your original HTML files until you have checked the results. Converting back later is rarely lossless.
- DOCX keeps everything it receives, so the result is only ever as good as the HTML file you start with.
- Headings become real Word heading styles, so the navigation pane and an automatic table of contents work straight away. Text uses Word's default font; restyle it in Word if you want a different look.
