How to Copy Text from an HWP File (for Translation or AI)

Why extract to TXT?

You can drag-select text in a PDF, but it often breaks mid-line or picks up headers and page numbers. A TXT file contains only the text, so there's less clean-up after pasting.

Many AI tools can't read HWP uploads at all; plain text always works.

How to do it

Drop the HWP or HWPX onto anyview.dev and click “Text (TXT)”.

Open the downloaded .txt in Notepad (Windows), TextEdit (Mac) or your phone's Files app.

Select all, copy and paste wherever you need it. Multiple documents each get their own TXT.

Tips for translators and AI

Translators such as Google Translate, Papago or DeepL limit how much you can paste at once, so split long documents.

With ChatGPT or Claude, be specific: “Summarize this notice in three lines” or “List only the deadline and the documents I need to bring” gives far more useful answers.

For confidential work documents, check your company's policy before pasting into an AI service. AnyView's conversion itself stays on your device.

Tables and text inside images

Text inside tables is extracted, but the grid layout becomes plain text. Keep the PDF handy if the table structure matters.

Text that's part of an image — scanned stamps, screenshots — isn't extracted, because AnyView doesn't do OCR.
