Convert ODT to HTML

An ODT document becomes a page: headings, lists and tables stay as markup, with the styles in the header.

Convert ODT to HTML when text from a document moves to a site or a wiki: there is no reason to retype the headings, lists and tables for that.

What happens when you convert ODT to HTML

The structure of the document turns into markup. Headings become heading tags, paragraphs become paragraphs, a bulleted list becomes a list, and a table is rebuilt as a real table with rows and cells.

The styling moves into the file header: font sizes, page margins, line spacing. The document therefore looks close to the original in a browser, and it takes your own styles easily once it is on a site.

  • Bold and italic survive as markup instead of vanishing the way they do in a text file.
  • The encoding is declared inside the file, so non-Latin text opens straight away.
  • The result arrives as a single page, with no extra files alongside it.

If styling is not wanted at all, the ODT to TXT converter is a shorter route. For a document to sign and print, use the ODT to PDF converter.

How to convert

  1. Upload your ODT file to this page.
  2. Check that the target format is HTML.
  3. Start the conversion and wait for the finished file.
  4. Open the result in a browser or hand it to your content system.

Frequently asked questions

Do headings, lists and tables survive?

Yes, each becomes its matching tag, so the structure is visible both in a browser and in a code editor.

Can the result go into my CMS?

Yes. People usually take the body of the page and let the site's own styles replace the ones written in the header.
