HWP at a glance
HWP
Convert to HWP when the recipient workflow is built around Hancom Hangul, particularly in Korean-language government, academic, or business environments.
It is appropriate for editable forms, official templates, and collaborative word-processing when local compatibility matters more than global default support.
For international exchange, DOCX or PDF may be easier, but HWP is the practical target inside Hangul-centric environments.
MOD at a glance
MOD
Convert to MOD when preserving original consumer camcorder captures or when a legacy ingest workflow still expects the camera-native container.
More commonly, it serves as a source format during home-video digitization and migration into MP4, MOV, or editing-friendly mezzanine files.
