Extract text from Thinkfree Cell templates (HCDT)
To convert HCDT templates to another format, you need Hancom Office or other Spreadsheet software.
To convert other file formats to the "Hancom Cell Template" file type, you need software like Hancom Office or a similar tool.
The .HCDT file is a Thinkfree Office NEO Cell Template. It is utilized by Hancom Office (formerly Thinkfree Office NEO) to store pre-formatted spreadsheet layouts, custom formulas, and standardized styling for corporate or personal use. It functions similarly to an Excel template file.
This format is highly proprietary and presents significant collaboration barriers. Major spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets do not natively support .HCDT files. Relying on this format locks users into the Hancom ecosystem, forces recipients to purchase compatible software, and makes automated data extraction incredibly difficult.
To share data practically, you must convert .HCDT files to a universal standard. We strongly recommend converting to XLSX for full formula and formatting retention, CSV for raw tabular data transfer, or PDF for read-only sharing. Be aware that highly specific Hancom macros or advanced styling may be lost or altered during conversion.
Because .HCDT is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters often fail to process it. Usually, only the original Hancom software can accurately read or export the spreadsheet data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded XML structure, viewing or data extraction may still be achieved.
Convert.Guru analyzes your HCDT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our HCDT converter.
