New image editor and resize feature

We are pleased to inform you that we’ve added a new image editor to our default Visual Editor.

Just click on an image and then click the paintbrush icon:

This is what the image editor looks like. Just edit the image and click the Save button.

A second change is an image resize feature on image paste or upload. If you paste or upload an image that is bigger than 800×600 pixels when embedding the image and 1200×800 pixels when uploading the image to our server, then you will see the following resize window:

Basically, you can use the slider to make the image smaller and switch to JPEG format if you upload non-JPEG images (PNG, GIF, WEBP). You can see details about the original vs resized image and a preview of the resized image on the screen. Once you’re OK with the resized image click Insert Resized Image button. If you want to add an original image then click Insert Original Image button.

 

 

New feature: share documents with your team…

You can now share your documents with your team.

To do this click the drop-down arrow to the right of the Save button, then select the share option.

In the new window, you can select the team members that can access the document. You can also choose if they have the ability to overwrite the document, if you keep this unticked they will have to save the document as a new file in their own storage.

Issue with logging in via Facebook…

This morning, without any warning Facebook again decided to turn off our ability to log in users using their Facebook accounts.

We have contacted Facebook to ask them what the issue is.

While we are waiting to get the issue resolved you can login into your account with the email address linked with your Facebook account.

You will likely need to reset your password, to do this visit our password reset page and enter the email address that is linked to your Facebook account.

Any issues doing this please email us [email protected] and we can help you out.

We have made the site easier to use…

As we have added more features to the site, the interface got more complex. We worried that new users would find our app intimidating so we have been working on improving the user interface to make it cleaner and easier to use.

The main changes are:

The HTML Editor options have been moved from below the editor to above. We have made them icons so they match the menu of the visual editor.

The copy to clipboard and Cleanup my HTML buttons are now below the HTML Editor to make them easier to access.

The template and advanced options are hidden by default. Just click the cog icon to the right of the Cleanup my HTML button to show them.

We are keen to get more feature suggestions from users so we have added a system to let you submit your ideas and also vote on other users ideas.

You can view and submit ideas here…

New features: Choose your editor, easier to use email editor and new payment methods…

We have been busy improving Word To HTML to add in new features.

Choose your editor:

you could always choose between our default editor and TinyMCE but the option to switch was a bit hidden in the settings page. We have made this option easier by adding a toggle above the editor:

Updates to email editor:

we have made the email editor easier to use. By using our simple drag and drop interface you can make great looking HTML emails. We have also added a feature where you insert free stock images from Pexels. To insert a free image just click on the add free image option in file manager:

Then just search for the type of image you want, and click on add image to download it.

New feature: Try our new Visual Email Designer…

create HTML emails visually

We are pleased to launch our new Visual Email Designer! Creating HTML emails is one of the most common uses of our service, but we wanted to make the process easier and quicker.

Our new drag and drop HTML Email Editor lets you visually create your HTML emails. You can start from a blank template or customize one of our many built-in predesigned templates.

All the controls are visual, so it is super easy to use – you drag the section you need from the panel on the left and place it into your email design. You can add new columns, rows, images, videos buttons etc. to your layout and see the changes live.

Once you have the design ready, you can preview how it looks on desktop and mobile with our built-in preview tool. You can also send a test email to yourself to see how it looks in a live email account.

The Email Editor is free for all our Pro users. Give our new Visual Email Designer a try and discover how simple and powerful it is.

Guten Tag and Witaj – Word to HTML is now available in German and Polish…

Word to HTML has users from all over the World so we have decided to translate our service to better accommodate non-English speakers. The first two languages to be supported are German and Polish.

We have used human translators to ensure quality. You can switch language at any time by clicking the language option in the top right of the screen.

 

New feature: You can now easily style your HTML tables…

We have added a settings screen to let you easily style your tables. To use it all you have to do is click anywhere in your table. On the floating menu that comes up click the brush icon.

On the table styling screen, you can control all aspects of the table style like color, font, padding, border and table height and width.

 

 

Upload and convert PDF files to HTML fixed layout, responsive preview and other visual changes

In December 2019 we’ve added new feature to Upload & Convert PDF files to fixed HTML layout. Just enable HTML fixed option before uploading PDF file:

We’ve moved preview saved document option from save doc menu next to Save button (1) and added new feature to preview saved document in a responsive mode (2). You can see how your html looks on mobile, tablet or laptop.

We have changed how Download as PDF option works under Chrome browser. If you save your HTML and select Download as PDF from menu next to Save button then Word to HTML will open new browser tab in Chrome and you’ll be able to save your document to PDF via Chrome.

Also we have updated top links above Visual Editor like below. Auto Save option was moved and simplified (it’s enabled by default and Word to HTML will save your document every 5 minutes if there are any unsaved changes in HTML).

We have removed link to Old Editor, yet still you can access it here via following URL: https://wordtohtml.net/site/old-editor

Also if you’re a Pro user you can select old editor in Settings.
