Convert HTML to ODT

Convert HTML to ODT to turn a saved web page into a document that opens in LibreOffice Writer and is edited like ordinary text.

What happens when you convert HTML to ODT

The content of the page becomes the content of a document: paragraphs, headings, lists, tables, and links stay where they were, and a cursor can move through them instead of a browser merely showing them.

Everything that made the page interactive is left behind: buttons, forms, pop-up blocks, and scripts. The look moves closer to a document as well, since columns and elaborate layouts reflow onto a page with margins.

• Text, headings, lists, and tables land in the document.
• The document opens in LibreOffice Writer and can be edited.
• Forms, buttons, and interactive parts do not carry over.

How to convert HTML to ODT

1. Upload your file in HTML.
2. Select ODT as the result format.
3. Start the conversion.
4. Open the document and walk through its headings and tables.

Why turn a page into a document

• Hand an article to an editor who works in Writer.
• Pull a manual out of an internal wiki for sign-off as a document.
• Prepare page material for printing with margins and headers.
• Keep a service description in editable form rather than as code.
• Attach page content to an email where a document is expected, not a link.

Other options for HTML files

• For sending and printing without edits, use the HTML to PDF converter.
• When only the wording is needed, use the HTML to TXT converter.
• The finished ODT travels further through the ODT to Word (DOCX) converter.

FAQ

Do images from the page survive?

Those stored inside the file itself come across. Images pulled from a site by link do not reach the document.

Will the document look like the page in a browser?

No. It is a document with pages and margins, so columns and elaborate layouts reflow.

Do the links keep working?

Links travel with the text and open from the document.
