How it works
The HTML to PDF converter renders an HTML document (or raw HTML code) to a PDF, preserving text, images, basic CSS styles, tables, and hyperlinks. Paste any HTML snippet or upload an .html file and download the rendered PDF.
HTML-to-PDF conversion is a common developer and content task: generating invoice PDFs from HTML templates, creating report PDFs from web page snapshots, archiving web content to PDF, exporting email newsletter HTML to PDF for review. This browser-based tool handles quick, no-server conversions.
How to use it: paste HTML code into the input field, or upload an .html file. The HTML renders in a preview panel. Adjust the page size (A4, Letter), orientation, and margin settings. Click Generate PDF and Download.
CSS support: basic CSS (font, color, size, padding, margin, borders, background color) is applied. Flexbox and Grid layouts are supported. External CSS files (linked via <link href>) require the full URL to load. @media print styles are applied.
Limitations: JavaScript-rendered content (React, Vue, Angular SPA content) requires the page to be rendered first — export the final rendered HTML via browser developer tools (copy outerHTML), then paste here. Dynamic content served by APIs does not execute.
Images: inline images and images with full absolute URLs are embedded. Relative image paths (./image.png) cannot be resolved without the full context.
Privacy: HTML rendering uses the browser's HTML engine. HTML content with sensitive data (credentials, personal information) stays local.
Frequently Asked Questions
- The tool converts HTML content that you paste or upload — it doesn't fetch live URLs (due to browser security restrictions preventing cross-origin requests). To convert a live page: open it in Chrome, right-click → 'Save As' → 'Webpage, Complete' to get the HTML, then upload here. Or use Chrome's built-in Print → Save as PDF.
- External stylesheets linked via relative paths (<link href='styles.css'>) cannot be resolved without their source server. Paste the CSS inline in a <style> tag, or use the full absolute URL for external stylesheets. CSS that relies on JavaScript for dynamic styling won't apply.
- Add CSS page-break properties to your HTML: page-break-before: always forces a new page before an element. page-break-inside: avoid prevents a table or div from splitting across pages. These standard CSS paged media properties are respected by the PDF renderer.
- Yes, if you include the Google Fonts @import URL in a <style> tag with the full absolute URL (https://fonts.googleapis.com/...). The browser fetches the font stylesheet and loads the fonts during rendering.
