100% Client-Side Processing
Your HTML is rendered and converted entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Preview
For safety, <script> tags are disabled in the preview and export. Styling (CSS) and images render normally.

What is an HTML to PDF Converter?
An HTML to PDF converter takes HTML and CSS markup and renders it as a paginated PDF document, ready to download, print, or archive.
It is useful for turning invoices, reports, resumes, newsletters, or any styled web content into a portable, shareable file without needing a design tool or a server-side rendering service.
How it Works
- Add your HTML: Paste HTML/CSS directly, or upload an .html file.
- Preview it: The tool renders your markup live in an isolated preview at the selected page width.
- Choose page settings: Pick page size, orientation, and margin.
- Convert and download: The preview is captured and split across pages, then packaged into a downloadable PDF.
Features
- Paste HTML or upload an .html file
- Live, WYSIWYG-style preview at real page width
- A4, Letter, and Legal page sizes
- Portrait or landscape orientation
- None, normal, or wide margins
- Automatically splits long content across multiple pages
- 100% client-side processing for privacy
Best Practices
- Use inline or embedded CSS: Put styles in a <style> tag or inline attributes so the preview renders exactly as intended.
- Use data URIs for critical images: Cross-origin images without CORS headers may fail to render — embed small images as base64 data URIs when possible.
- Avoid fixed pixel heights on the page: Let content flow naturally so it can be split cleanly across PDF pages.
- Test with the sample first: Load the sample HTML to see a working example before pasting your own markup.
- Keep documents reasonably sized: Very long or image-heavy pages take longer to render and convert.
Troubleshooting
Images are missing from the PDF
External images hosted on other domains without proper CORS headers cannot be captured. Use images from the same origin or convert them to base64 data URIs.
Conversion fails or times out
Very large documents or complex CSS (heavy gradients, filters) can be slow. Try simplifying the markup or splitting it into a shorter document.
Fonts look different in the PDF
The converter uses fonts available in your browser. Web fonts loaded via @font-face from external domains may not always be captured — use system fonts for guaranteed consistency.
Content is cut off oddly between pages
Adjust margins or restructure content (e.g., avoid tall single elements) so page breaks fall in more natural places.
Common Use Cases
- Invoices and receipts: Generate a styled HTML invoice and export it as a PDF for record-keeping or email.
- Reports and summaries: Turn a formatted HTML report into a shareable, printable PDF.
- Resumes and portfolios: Design a resume in HTML/CSS and export a clean PDF version.
- Email newsletters: Archive a newsletter as a PDF for offline reference.
- Web page snapshots: Save a styled HTML snippet as a PDF for documentation or sharing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Your HTML is rendered and converted entirely in your browser and is never uploaded to a server.
No. Script tags are disabled in the preview and export for safety, so interactive scripts will not execute.
You can paste a complete HTML document (with <html>, <head>, and <body>) or a smaller HTML fragment. Both are supported.
Yes. If your content is taller than one page, it is automatically split across multiple PDF pages.
Images loaded from other domains without CORS support cannot be captured for security reasons in the browser. Use same-origin images or base64 data URIs instead.
Yes, though editing longer HTML documents is easier on a larger screen.
No. Everything happens locally in your browser and the PDF is downloaded directly to your device.
