About Word to HTML
Converts Word documents into tidy semantic HTML — real heading tags, lists and tables rather than a wall of spans — with images inlined as data URIs. Copy the markup or download it as a file.
Getting Word content onto the web usually means either pasting it — which brings a mess of inline styles and mso- attributes with it — or retyping it.
This produces semantic HTML: real heading tags, real lists, real tables.

How Word to HTML works in your browser
Mammoth maps Word’s styles to meaning rather than to appearance. A paragraph styled Heading 2 becomes an h2 element, not a div with a font size; a list becomes ul or ol; a table becomes a table with proper rows and cells.
That mapping is deliberately lossy in one direction and precise in the other. Word’s presentational detail — exact fonts, colours, spacing, text boxes — is discarded, because on a web page those decisions belong to the stylesheet. What survives is the structure, which is the part that carries meaning and the part a CMS or a stylesheet can then do something with.
Output can be a fragment for pasting into an existing page or a complete document. Embedded images are extracted from the .docx container and inlined as data URIs, so the fragment is self-contained rather than pointing at files that do not exist yet.
When to use it
Publishing a document written in Word to a website or CMS without hand-cleaning the markup. Turning a Word-authored article into content an email template can use. Extracting clean structure from a document to reuse in another system. Getting rid of the inline styling that pasting from Word normally drags along.
Frequently asked questions
Will the HTML be clean or full of spans?
Clean. Headings become real h1–h6 tags, lists become ul and ol, and tables become table markup — not a wall of styled spans as Word's own Save as HTML produces.
What happens to images in the document?
They are inlined as data URIs, so the HTML is self-contained and displays correctly without a folder of assets alongside it.
Can I paste the result straight into a CMS?
Yes. Copy the markup rather than downloading it when you want to drop the content into a content management system or an email template.
