About HTML to PDF

Web developers, email marketers, and content teams often need to turn HTML documents into distributable PDF files — for invoices, reports, newsletters, or archived web content. The HTML to PDF converter renders your HTML file using a full browser engine, then exports the result as a PDF that captures the styling, fonts, and layout exactly as a browser would display them.

The converter supports standard HTML5 and CSS3, including Flexbox and Grid layouts, custom fonts (if embedded using @font-face with base64-encoded data), inline SVG graphics, and CSS print media queries. This means you can use @media print rules in your CSS to fine-tune how the page breaks and which elements are visible in the PDF output.

Best practices for clean conversions:

  • Embed all CSS inline or in a <style> tag within the HTML file to avoid missing stylesheets
  • Convert images to base64 and embed them in the HTML if they are referenced by URL (external URLs may not load during conversion)
  • Use @page CSS rules to set the page size (A4, Letter, etc.) and margins
  • Test with @media print styles to control page breaks and hide navigation or sidebar elements

This tool is ideal for generating invoice PDFs from HTML templates, archiving web articles, or converting email templates to PDF proofs. If you need to convert an entire webpage by URL rather than uploading an HTML file, you can save the page from your browser (File → Save As → Complete HTML) and upload the self-contained file.

After conversion, use Compress PDF if the resulting file is larger than needed. To combine the converted page with other PDFs, use Merge PDF.

Security: Uploaded HTML files are processed on isolated servers and deleted within one hour. No user data embedded in the HTML is logged or retained.
