Turning HTML into a PDF is one of the most common web tasks — invoices, receipts, reports, and printable pages all start as HTML. You can generate the PDF directly in your browser, with no server, no sign-up, and no markup ever leaving your device.
Why convert HTML to PDF?
- Printable output: Invoices, tickets, and certificates people can save and print
- Consistent rendering: A PDF looks the same everywhere, unlike a live web page
- Archiving: Freeze a page's content at a point in time
- Sharing: One file instead of a URL that might change or disappear
How browser-based HTML to PDF works
The HTML to PDF Converter renders your HTML into an isolated, off-screen container, rasterises it with html2canvas, and paginates it into a PDF with jsPDF (together packaged as html2pdf.js). Because it runs in your browser, your content is never uploaded.
Paste code or upload a file
You can work two ways:
- Paste HTML directly into the editor — handy for a snippet, an email template, or generated markup
- Upload an .html file — drag and drop, and its contents load automatically
Getting the best results
Browser-based conversion rasterises the rendered page, so a few habits produce cleaner PDFs:
| Do | Avoid |
|---|---|
Inline your CSS (<style> or style="") |
Relying on external stylesheets |
| Use standard web-safe fonts | Custom web fonts loaded from a CDN |
| Same-origin or CORS-enabled images | Hotlinked images that block canvas capture |
| Simple, flowing layouts | JavaScript-driven or animated content |
External stylesheets, web fonts, and scripts are ignored for privacy and reliability — so inline the CSS you need for the closest match.
Page size, orientation, and margins
The tool supports A4 and US Letter, in portrait or landscape, with narrow, normal, or wide margins. Long content is paginated automatically, and CSS page-break rules (page-break-before, break-inside: avoid) are respected where possible — useful for keeping table rows or cards from splitting across pages.
How to convert HTML to PDF free
- Go to HTML to PDF Converter
- Paste your HTML, or drop an .html file
- Choose page size, orientation, and margins
- Click Convert to PDF and download the result
No file is uploaded to any server. The page is rendered and paginated entirely in your browser.
Converting a full web page
This tool works on HTML source, not live URLs. To convert a page you're viewing, open it, save it as an .html file (or copy its HTML), then paste or upload it here. This keeps you in control of exactly what gets rendered — and keeps the process private.
