Converting HTML to PDF generates a printable, fixed-layout document from a web page file. This is useful for saving a local HTML report as a PDF for sharing, archiving a web template as a PDF, converting an HTML email template to a PDF proof, or producing a PDF from a data-generated HTML report.

Upload an HTML or HTM file. The conversion renders the page and exports it as a PDF with standard page settings. CSS styling in the HTML file is respected during rendering - colors, fonts, tables, and layout elements are preserved where they are supported by the PDF rendering engine.

External resources - images or stylesheets loaded from URLs - may not render in an offline HTML file. For best results, ensure all CSS is inline or embedded in a <style> tag within the HTML file, and images are either embedded as base64 data URIs or are not present. HTML files that reference external CDN stylesheets or image URLs will lose those resources during conversion.

This tool is best suited to self-contained HTML files. For converting a live web page URL to PDF, use your browser's built-in Print > Save as PDF function, which renders the page with all live resources loaded.

What to Expect

Render a self-contained HTML file as a printable PDF while preserving supported CSS styling and layout for proofs, reports, and archives.
