HTML to PDF Converter
Upload an HTML file or paste HTML code to create a PDF document.
What This Tool Does
The HTML to PDF converter renders HTML and CSS to a PDF document using your browser's own rendering engine. Unlike server-side converters, it uses the same rendering pipeline as your browser — so what you see in the browser preview is exactly what the PDF contains. No server receives your HTML; everything runs locally in the browser tab.
This is most useful for generating printable reports from HTML templates, saving styled web content as a fixed-layout document, converting HTML invoices or receipts to PDF for records, and archiving web pages in a format that preserves layout.
How the Browser Renders HTML to PDF
The tool inserts your HTML into an off-screen rendering frame and uses the browser's print API to capture it as a PDF. Styles are applied using your CSS. The @page CSS rule controls page size and margins. For most HTML content, this produces high-quality PDF output with correct fonts, colors, and layout — because it's the same engine your browser uses to render every web page you visit.
Images and External Resources
Images referenced by external URLs (https://...) require a network request to load during conversion. If images don't appear in the output, embed them as Base64 data URIs in the HTML source instead. Internal styles and inline CSS are always applied correctly.

Accepted: .html, .htm
✓ Done!
Your file is ready.
💡 If the resulting PDF is larger than expected due to embedded images, use the PDF Compressor to reduce the file size. To combine this HTML-generated PDF with other documents, PDF Merger assembles multiple PDFs into one. For the opposite direction — extracting text from a PDF into editable HTML — the PDF to Word converter extracts the content first.
