Word to HTML
Paste your Word or Google Docs text, upload a .docx, or import via public Google Docs link. Clean the HTML and export ready to publish.
Why Word and Google Docs HTML needs to be cleaned
When you copy text from Microsoft Word or Google Docs and paste it into a website editor, the result is usually HTML filled with unnecessary code. Word, in particular, adds hundreds of inline style attributes, auto-generated classes, internal comments, and proprietary tags like mso-* that only work within Word itself. All this increases HTML size, can override your site's CSS, and makes code maintenance difficult.
This tool converts and cleans the HTML generated by Word, Google Docs, and other WYSIWYG editors, letting you publish content with clean, semantic code — without manually editing the HTML.
The rel=nofollow and target=_blank problem
A common flaw in HTML cleaning tools is removing all link attributes during the cleaning process — including rel="nofollow" and target="_blank". For SEO analysts and writers who carefully configure links, this is a serious problem: an external link with rel="nofollow" that loses this attribute after cleaning will incorrectly pass PageRank.
This tool's WordPress preset was specifically developed to preserve these attributes. It removes classes, IDs, inline styles, and MSO attributes — but keeps href, src, alt, rel, and target intact.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Word HTML "dirty"?
Microsoft Word wasn't created to generate HTML for the web — it was created for printing. When saving as HTML, Word adds hundreds of inline style attributes, classes, and proprietary tags that control appearance on paper, not on screen. The result is HTML with 10 to 50 times more code than necessary to display the same content on a website.
Can cleaning delete important content?
No, as long as you use the correct options. Cleaning only removes formatting code (styles, classes, IDs, comments) — never the text, images, or links themselves. This tool's WordPress preset is especially careful to preserve important attributes like rel="nofollow" and target="_blank".
How to import from Google Docs?
Go to your document in Google Docs, click Share and set it to "Anyone with the link can view". Copy the link and paste it into this tool's import field. The document will be converted automatically.
Can I edit the HTML after cleaning?
Yes. You can switch between the visual editor and raw HTML editor at any time. Edits in the visual editor reflect in the HTML and vice versa.
