In the modern digital landscape, HTML is one of the most common formats for displaying and sharing information online. Businesses, developers, and content creators often need a way to preserve this online content in a more structured, editable, and professional format—like Microsoft Word. Converting HTML into DOC or DOCX ensures that the layout, formatting, and content are retained, while making the file suitable for reporting, printing, or long-term documentation.

For .NET developers, the Aspose.HTML Cloud API offers an efficient and secure method to perform this conversion with minimal coding effort.

HTML to Word Conversion via REST API

The Aspose.HTML Cloud SDK for .NET provides powerful tools to process and convert HTML into multiple formats, including DOCX, XPS, PDF, and various image formats. The HTML-to-Word process is straightforward and can be customized to match your specific requirements—such as adjusting page size, margins, and output formatting.

Other than HTML, the API accepts a variety of input types: XHTML, MHTML, EPUB, Markdown or even a live web page URL.

Installing the SDK To begin, install the SDK from NuGet using:

nuget install Aspose.HTML-Cloud

Next, create a free account on the Aspose Cloud dashboard to obtain your Client ID and Client Secret for authentication.

Convert HTML to DOC using C#

Here’s how you can implement HTML-to-Word conversion in your C# application:

  1. Initialize the API – Create an instance of HtmlApi with your Client ID and Client Secret.
  2. Load the HTML file – Open your source HTML from local storage.
  3. Upload to Cloud Storage – Use StorageApi to store the file in the cloud.
  4. Convert to Word – Call PutConvertDocumentToDoc(…) to process the conversion.

HTML to DOCX using cURL Commands

For those who prefer command-line tools or automation, the REST API can be accessed via cURL. This method not only simplifies the integration into diverse development workflows but also ensures a consistent and reliable document generation process.

Steps:

  1. Generate a JWT token with your client credentials.
  2. Upload the HTML file to cloud storage.
  3. Call the conversion API endpoint.
  4. Save the converted file locally.
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token" \
-X POST \
-d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=XXXXX-XXXX-XXXXX-XXXX-b9809741374e&client_secret=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-H "Accept: application/json"

Upload the input HTML file to cloud storage using the following cURL command.

curl -X PUT "https://api.aspose.cloud/html/storage/file/inputHTML.html" \
-H  "accept: application/json" \
-H  "authorization: Bearer <JWT Token>" \
-H  "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
-d {"File":{}}

Call API to perform HTML to DOCX conversion and save output on the local drive.

curl -v -X GET "https://api.aspose.cloud/html/inputHTML.html/convert/docx" \
-H  "accept: multipart/form-data" \
-H  "authorization: Bearer <JWT Token>" \
-o Converted.docx
