Will smart quotes and special characters convert correctly?

Text content is HTML-escaped on output, so characters that would break HTML rendering are properly encoded. Smart quotes and em dashes pass through as their UTF-8 characters, which render correctly in browsers.

Does this preserve heading structure like H1 and H2?

No. Headings are extracted as text content in elements — heading hierarchy from the Word document is not converted to HTML heading tags. The output is plain paragraph text only.

Can I use this to batch-convert a folder of article drafts?

Yes. Upload multiple DOCX files in one session and download one HTML file per document.

Is this suitable for importing into WordPress or other CMSs?

Yes for text extraction purposes. You'll get clean paragraph text without Word's embedded styles. Note that heading structure won't be preserved, so you may need to manually mark up H1/H2 tags in your CMS after import.

Turn Word Drafts Into CMS-Ready HTML Without Manual Reformatting

Content teams routinely receive article drafts, blog posts, and copy documents as Word files — then spend time manually stripping formatting before pasting into a CMS. Deliteful converts DOCX files directly to HTML, giving you paragraph-structured text you can paste or import without cleaning up residual Word styles.

The classic problem: a writer submits a polished Word document, and the moment you paste it into WordPress or Contentful, you're dealing with embedded font styles and mangled spacing. Converting to plain HTML first removes all of that. You get the text content — clean, structured in <p> tags, and ready to paste or programmatically import.

For teams managing high-volume publishing workflows, this tool cuts a consistent manual step out of every article handoff. Each DOCX produces a standalone HTML file. Paragraph structure is preserved; formatting, images, and table layout are stripped — table text is flattened into paragraphs. It's a text extraction tool, which is exactly what the CMS paste problem requires.
