Turning HTML into a PDF usually means a headless browser on a server. This does the useful subset in the browser instead: it reads the structure of your HTML and lays the content out as properly wrapped, paginated text.
Nothing is uploaded. The HTML is parsed and the PDF built entirely in this tab.

What the HTML to PDF does
Headings become larger bold text, paragraphs wrap and flow across pages, list items get bullets and indentation, and simple tables become readable text rows. Text is measured against the actual font metrics, so wrapping is accurate and words are never clipped.
What is not reproduced is CSS. Colours, fonts, positioning, images and layout are not applied — reproducing those genuinely requires a rendering engine. This converts structure and content, which is what most people actually need from an HTML-to-PDF step.
How to use this tool
- Paste your HTML into the box. No file is needed.
- Choose the page size, orientation and margin.
- Press Convert to PDF.
- Check the pagination in the result — long documents flow across pages automatically.
What is converted
CONVERTED
h1–h6 → bold headings at descending sizes
p, div → wrapped paragraphs
ul, ol, li → bulleted, indented list items
table → each row as a text line, cells separated by |
hr → a horizontal rule
br → a line break
NOT CONVERTED
CSS, colours, fonts, images, positioning, columns
Word wrapping uses real font metrics, so lines break
correctly and never overflow the margin.
Worked example
Example: a formatted note
| <h1>Meeting notes</h1> | → 20 pt bold heading |
| <h2>Actions</h2> | → 16 pt bold heading |
| <li>Send the draft</li> | → • Send the draft, indented |
| <p>Long paragraph…</p> | → wrapped, flowing across pages |
The output is a clean text document. It will not look like a styled web page, and it is not trying to.
What your result means
Structure survives, styling does not. If the visual design matters, use your browser's own Print to PDF, which uses the full rendering engine.
Pagination is automatic — content flows onto new pages as needed, with headings kept with their text.
Images are skipped. Add them afterwards with Add Image to PDF.
Important considerations
- For a styled web page, your browser's Print to PDF is better — it has the whole rendering engine behind it.
- This tool is most useful for generated HTML, email bodies, notes and content where structure matters more than design.
- Only the standard PDF fonts are available, so Devanagari and other Indic scripts are not supported.
- Tables become text rows. Complex tables will not line up in columns.
- Scripts and styles in the pasted HTML are ignored entirely, which also makes it safe to paste untrusted markup.
Limitations of this tool
- CSS, colours, images and precise layout are not reproduced.
- Tables are flattened to text rows rather than drawn as grids.
- Only the standard PDF fonts, so Latin characters only.
- Very large documents may be slow to lay out.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my PDF not look like my web page?
Because CSS is not applied. Reproducing a styled page needs a full rendering engine, which is what your browser's own Print to PDF uses. This converts structure and content instead.
Do I need to upload a file?
No. Paste the HTML directly into the box and convert — no file is involved.
Are images included?
No. Add them to the result with Add Image to PDF.
Is it safe to paste HTML from anywhere?
Yes. Scripts and styles are ignored, and only text content is extracted for layout. Nothing in the pasted markup is executed.
