An HWP file is a document file created by Hangul Word Processor (HWP), a word processing application developed by the South Korean company Hancom. HWP files are commonly used for creating and editing documents in Korean.
How to open an HWP file:
1. Hangul Office Viewer:
- Hancom provides a free Hangul Office Viewer that allows users to open and view HWP files without the need for the full Hangul Office suite. You can download this viewer from the official Hancom website.
2. Hancom Office:
- The full Hancom Office suite, which includes Hangul Word Processor, can be used to open and edit HWP files. This office suite is available for purchase, and a trial version may be available for testing.
3. Convert to Other Formats:
- If you don’t have access to Hangul Office, you can try converting the HWP file to a more widely supported format like Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) using online conversion tools or third-party software. After conversion, you can use a word processor like Microsoft Word or Google Docs to open and edit the document.
