HWP File Extension

TIP: Run a Free Scan for .HWP File Errors.

Hangul (aka Hangul Word Processor or HWP) is a word processing application from Haansoft, and is very popular in South Korea, mainly due to the way it has been designed for the Korean written language.

Text documents created in Hangul are saved with the extension HWP. Any HWP files created with Hangul '97 or before can be opened with OpenOffice. However, .HWP files created after this version are not compatible due to the changes in the file format's structure.

Most recent versions of Hangul are able to save documents in Microsoft's .DOC format.

you'll need a Hangul Viewer to open that file but if you would require to edit the file you'll need the Haansoft Hangul 2002 or later installer.Hangul Viewer is like acrobat readerHaansoft Hangul 2002 is like Adobe Acrobat

As tonski02 says: you'll need a Hangul Viewer to open that file but if you would require to edit the file you'll need the Haansoft Hangul 2002 or later installer.The link for download Hangul Viewer: www.haansoft.com/hnc4_0/english/hangul2004_03.htmAfter download, install it and the file icon is change to the Hangul icon. Remember that if you still can't open the file, it's because of the file's name is not compatible with the program, change it to a simple common name and everything is ok.

Hey, as I say: go to this link www.haansoft.com/hnc4_0/english/hangul2004_03.htm, and you'll find the icon "Hangul Viewer Free Download" in the right vertical bar. Click and Download it (about 10MB), then Install and you can open the file .hwp (take care about the file name too)

The link posted above leads to a Korean only site. It has a link to the English site, but I cannot find a link to an HWP viewer on that site.Can anyone help with a direct link to a download of HWP viewer? It is very frustrating and hard to find in English. Thanks

The above link comes back failing for me. If I have a recent HWP document, is there a free option to be able to open it and print it? I don't need to modify it. I just need to be able to print it.

David - Link that works..

2008-11-09 23:34:58

The link you note above is also dead. However, after hopping from Korean site to Korean site, I finally found a government site that had a good link to the viewer. It can be found here: http://www.haansoft.com/hnc/down/down_viewer.action?boardcode=TAEMB&largecode=NVI&svstate=Y

It looks like this is the original link that takes you to the other one (http://www.haansoft.com/hnc/Download.jsp?no=4918).

The problem is with hwp documents created with newer versions of Hangul. AFAIK there is no program available for viewing these files. If you want to see them you will have to get the full program.Please correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, David's link is to the 2007 hangul viewer. All hail David, king of korean word processor viewing software finders!

Now if I only understood Korean... I think I have decided it is too much to ask for a HWP viewer in English. Also, FYI, I have found the above viewer tends to consume lots of processor while it is open.

You're correct Naha - thanks for information. I can open and edit now the documents hwp file. Just open this site and you will see hangul viewer download. Click download ....After that you can open and edit your .hwp files. Again thanks to NaHa.http://english.gsnd.net/down.jsp

Yes, Angelica, but the problem is that the viewer at http://english.gsnd.net/down.jsp is only for hangul 2002. It will not work for newer versions of hangul. This link http://www.haansoft.com/hnc/Download.jsp?no=4918)will open later version hangul files, but is in Korean. I guess we'll just have to wait until an English Hangul 2007 viewer comes out.
