.HWP File Extension

An HWP file is a text document written in Hangul, the alphabet of the Korean language. You can open it using any text editor, but you may have to install an Asian font pack to view the file's contents correctly.

This kind of HWP file is now uncommon. If you have an HWP file, it is more likely to be a Hanword Document.

An HWP file is a document created by Hanword (formerly Hangul Word Processor), a Korean word processing application. It contains document formatting, graphics, and text. HWP files are used specifically for saving documents written in Hangul, which is the native alphabet of the Korean language.

You can use Planamesa NeoOffice (Mac), IMSI TurboPDF (Windows), and Polaris Office Web Hangul (Web) to open HWP files. You can also convert HWP files to .DOCX files using Hanword HWP document converter for Microsoft Word. This tool is available to download for free from Microsoft.
