Upload the DOC and the converter emits semantic HTML: headings become `<h1>`-`<h6>`, paragraphs `<p>`, lists `<ul>`/`<ol>`, and tables real `<table>` markup. The result is valid, standards-compliant HTML you can drop straight into a web page or CMS rather than a tangle of inline-styled `<div>`s.
Will the HTML have inline styles or a separate stylesheet?
+
Formatting from the DOC is emitted as compact CSS classes rather than per-element inline styles, so the HTML stays clean and easy to restyle. You can keep the generated CSS, override it with your site's stylesheet, or strip it entirely for a plain semantic-HTML skeleton.
How are images in my DOC handled in the HTML?
+
Embedded images from the DOC are extracted and either referenced as separate files alongside the HTML or inlined as base64 data-URIs (your choice). `<img>` tags get the correct dimensions and alt placeholders so the HTML renders correctly when you publish it.
Does DOC to HTML produce valid, semantic markup?
+
Yes — the output is well-formed, semantic HTML that passes the W3C validator: proper nesting, real heading hierarchy, list and table elements instead of visual fakes. Semantic markup is what search engines and screen readers need, so the HTML is SEO- and accessibility-friendly out of the box.
Will hyperlinks and bookmarks survive DOC to HTML?
+
Internal links, bookmarks, and external hyperlinks in the DOC are converted to real `<a href>` anchors in the HTML. Cross-references and a heading-based table of contents become in-page anchor links, so navigation works the moment you load the HTML in a browser.
Can I embed the converted HTML directly in my website or CMS?
+
Yes — paste the body markup into WordPress, Ghost, a static-site generator, or any CMS. Because the HTML is semantic and class-based (not absolutely-positioned), it adapts to your site's layout and theme instead of fighting it. Copy just the `<body>` contents or take the full document.
Does the HTML keep tables from my DOC?
+
Yes — tables in the DOC become real `<table>`/`<tr>`/`<td>` markup with header rows marked as `<th>`, preserving merged cells and alignment. Real table markup means the data stays responsive and accessible, not baked into an image.
Will the HTML be mobile-responsive?
+
The generated HTML uses relative sizing and a `<meta viewport>` tag so it reflows on phones. Because it is semantic markup rather than fixed-width layout, your site's responsive CSS applies to it naturally — text wraps, images scale, tables can be made scrollable.
Is my DOC private during conversion?
+
Yes — uploaded DOC files are processed in isolated workers and deleted within minutes. We never read, store, or share the contents. See /privacy/.
Why does my HTML have extra empty tags or messy spans?
+
Cluttered output usually comes from a DOC authored with lots of manual formatting (hand-spaced text, one-off font tweaks). Cleaning the DOC first — using real styles instead of direct formatting — yields much tidier HTML. The converter also offers a "clean markup" pass that collapses redundant spans.
Can I convert DOC to HTML and keep the heading structure for SEO?
+
Yes — and you should: the converter maps document headings to a correct `<h1>`/`<h2>`/`<h3>` hierarchy, which is exactly what search engines use to understand page structure. The HTML comes out with a clean outline rather than headings faked with bold text, so it is ready to rank.
Does DOC to HTML support code blocks and pre-formatted text?
+
Monospaced and pre-formatted blocks in the DOC (especially from Markdown sources) are emitted as `<pre>`/`<code>` so whitespace and code formatting are preserved in the HTML. This matters for technical documentation where exact spacing and fixed-width rendering are essential.
