HTML to PDF
Paste raw HTML, drop in a snippet, or supply a URL and get a pixel-accurate PDF back — layout, fonts, images, and CSS intact. No reformatting, no broken styles, no manual cleanup. Free to start.
How it works
Submit your HTML or URL
Paste your HTML markup directly into the prompt or provide a public webpage URL. Add any output preferences — page size, orientation, font embedding, or elements to remove.
AI parses and prepares the document
The agent processes your markup, resolves external assets where possible, applies your formatting instructions, and queues the content for headless-browser rendering.
Pixel-accurate rendering
A headless browser engine renders the full page — executing JavaScript, applying CSS, and loading images — then captures the visual output at the specified dimensions, preserving layout fidelity.
Download your PDF
The rendered output is packaged as a PDF with embedded assets. You receive a download link within seconds; the file is ready to share, print, or archive immediately.
Who is this for
Developers & agencies
Quickly generate client-ready PDFs from HTML invoices, reports, or email templates without spinning up a headless browser pipeline or maintaining a server-side PDF library.
Content creators & marketers
Capture landing pages, blog posts, or campaign briefs as polished PDFs for client presentations or offline distribution — without losing your carefully crafted layout or brand fonts.
Operations & finance teams
Convert HTML-based invoices, contracts, or data tables into archival-quality PDFs for record-keeping, with page numbers, consistent margins, and print-safe formatting applied automatically.
Six prompt-engineering tips that move the needle
Small changes in how you write a prompt make the biggest difference in output.
Specify page size and margins upfront
Include dimensions in your first sentence — 'A4, 15 mm margins' or 'US Letter, no margins' — so the renderer sets the viewport correctly before layout calculation, not after.
Convert relative image paths to absolute URLs
Any src='./images/logo.png' will fail to load during remote rendering. Replace relative paths with https:// URLs or base64 data URIs before pasting your HTML to ensure all images appear.
Name elements you want removed
Be specific: 'remove the element with id="cookie-banner" and the <nav> tag' gives the agent a precise target, producing cleaner results than 'remove the header stuff'.
Request font embedding explicitly for offline PDFs
If the PDF will be viewed without internet access, add 'embed all fonts' to your prompt. Without this, PDFs relying on CDN-hosted fonts may display fallback typefaces on offline devices.
Use @media print CSS for complex layouts
If your HTML already contains a @media print stylesheet, mention it in the prompt so the agent targets those rules. This often eliminates nav bars and sidebars automatically without manual stripping.
Break large documents into logical sections
For HTML documents longer than 30 expected pages, split by section and run separate conversions, then merge the resulting PDFs. This keeps render time under 30 seconds and avoids timeout errors on dense content.
What to expect
Most HTML to PDF conversions complete in 5–20 seconds for standard pages under 500 KB. Complex pages with many external assets or heavy JavaScript frameworks may take 30–60 seconds; accuracy on CSS Grid and Flexbox layouts is typically high, though some CSS4 properties and variable fonts may render slightly differently across engines.
Example: A four-page HTML invoice template (38 KB, one embedded logo, CSS table styling, Google Font via CDN) converted in roughly 8 seconds to a 210 × 297 mm A4 PDF at 96 DPI — all borders, column widths, and font weights matched the browser preview with no manual corrections needed.
Good to know
- Pages behind authentication (login walls, paywalls, or session cookies) cannot be fetched by URL — paste the raw HTML instead after logging in manually.
- SVG filters, CSS blend modes, and cutting-edge CSS4 features may not render identically to a desktop Chrome browser; test a sample page before relying on these for production documents.
- The converter captures a static snapshot; real-time data (live stock prices, auto-refreshing dashboards) will show whatever state the page was in at the moment of capture, not a continuously updated view.
Frequently asked questions
What types of HTML input can I convert to PDF?
You can submit raw HTML code pasted directly into the prompt, a complete HTML file's contents, or a public web page URL. Inline styles, linked stylesheets referenced in the markup, and base64-encoded images are all typically handled without extra steps.
Will my CSS styling and custom fonts survive the conversion?
Most CSS2 and widely-used CSS3 properties render correctly, including flexbox, grid, custom colors, and borders. Web fonts loaded via @font-face or Google Fonts generally render when the conversion has internet access; locally hosted font files may not resolve unless the font data is embedded or base64-encoded in the HTML.
Can I choose the output page size and orientation?
Yes — specify your preference in the prompt (e.g., 'A4 portrait', 'Letter landscape', or a custom width/height in millimetres). If you don't specify, the conversion defaults to A4 portrait.
How does html to pdf conversion handle images?
Images with absolute URLs are fetched and embedded during conversion. Relative-path images and local file references (e.g., src='../images/logo.png') won't resolve unless you replace them with absolute URLs or base64 data URIs before submitting.
What happens to JavaScript-rendered content on a webpage?
The converter runs a headless browser that executes most JavaScript before capturing the page, so dynamically rendered content (React, Vue, Angular output) is typically captured. However, content that loads only after user interaction — like clicking a 'Load more' button — usually won't appear in the PDF.
Is there a size or page-count limit on the HTML I can convert?
Very large HTML documents — roughly over 2 MB of markup or pages exceeding around 50 printed pages — may hit processing limits or increase conversion time noticeably. For large reports, consider splitting into sections or compressing embedded images before submitting.
Can I remove headers, footers, or cookie banners from a webpage PDF?
Yes — describe what you want removed in your prompt (e.g., 'remove the sticky navigation bar and cookie consent popup'). The AI will attempt to strip those elements from the DOM before rendering. Results vary by site complexity; tightly coupled JS components may be harder to isolate.
