What is HTML to PDF?

HTML to PDF converts HTML documents to PDF format while preserving styling, images, and layout. Generate professional PDFs from web content, reports, invoices, or documentation—no desktop software like Adobe Acrobat or Word required.

The converter renders HTML with full CSS support: flexbox, grid, fonts, colors, and borders. Images (inline and linked), tables, and multi-column layouts are preserved. The output is print-ready and suitable for archiving, sharing, or formal documentation.

Ideal for creating invoices from HTML templates, saving web articles as PDFs, generating reports from dynamic content, or archiving important web pages. Works entirely in the browser with no server upload required.

How to Use HTML to PDF

  1. Paste or upload HTML: Paste your HTML into the editor or upload an .html file. Include <style> tags or link to stylesheets—the converter supports CSS for accurate layout.
  2. Add images if needed: Use relative URLs, data URIs, or absolute URLs for images. The tool fetches and embeds them in the PDF. Ensure images are accessible (same-origin or CORS-enabled for external URLs).
  3. Click Convert: Click Convert to generate the PDF. The tool renders your HTML and produces a downloadable file. Processing typically takes a few seconds depending on content size.
  4. Download the PDF: Download the generated PDF file. Open it in any PDF reader. The layout, fonts, and images match your HTML as closely as the renderer allows.

No signup required. Works on desktop and mobile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it preserve CSS styling?

Yes. The tool renders HTML with CSS support—colors, fonts, margins, padding, borders, flexbox, and grid. Complex layouts are preserved. For best results, use print-friendly CSS or @media print rules where needed.

Are images included?

Yes. Inline images (data URIs, base64) and linked images (http/https URLs) are rendered in the PDF. Images must be accessible; cross-origin images may require CORS. SVG is supported where the renderer allows.

Is the PDF conversion free?

Yes, free with no limits. No registration, no watermarks, and no usage caps. Convert as many documents as you need.

What about page breaks and print layout?

The converter respects CSS page-break properties. Add page-break-before or page-break-after to control where pages split. For multi-page documents, structure your HTML with appropriate break points.
