Convert HTML into a paginated PDF
Web pages scroll forever and documents do not, so every HTML to PDF conversion has to answer a question the HTML never addressed: where should the pages break? Left alone, the renderer will break wherever the content happens to reach the bottom of a sheet, which is how you end up with a heading alone at the foot of page three and a table cut through the middle of a row.
CSS already has the answer, and using it takes a few lines. A print stylesheet can keep a heading with the paragraph that follows it, prevent a table row from splitting, force a new page before a section, and hide the navigation and cookie banner that have no place in a document. Because you can edit the source here before generating, that is the moment to add those rules.
The other thing to watch is anything the page does not carry with it. Images referenced by a relative path that no longer resolves will be missing. Fonts loaded from a service may be substituted. Content that only appears after a script fetches it may never arrive. Self contained HTML, with its styles inline and its assets embedded, converts most reliably.
Simple, practical guidance
How to use HTML to PDF
The HTML is rendered the way a browser would render it for printing, then broken into pages. You can review and adjust the source before generating, which is where most layout problems get fixed.
- 1
Upload an HTML document.
- 2
Review or edit its source and browser preview.
- 3
Check the document content.
- 4
Generate and download the PDF.
Get a better result
Print specific CSS, embedded fonts and stable asset paths are what separate a clean result from a messy one. A document written with printing in mind paginates predictably.
Know how your file is handled
Rendering happens on our server, because producing a paginated document needs a full rendering engine. Your file is deleted once the PDF has been produced.
Check before you share
Interactive controls, animations, scripts that fetch data, assets behind a login and some cross origin resources cannot behave the way they do in your own browser.
Questions people ask
HTML to PDF FAQ
Page breaks, print CSS, images and fonts, and why a live page may not look the same.
How do I convert HTML to PDF?
Upload the HTML document, review or edit the source in the preview, check the content looks right, then generate and download the PDF.
How do I control where the pages break?
Use print CSS in the source. The break-inside and break-before properties let you keep headings with their text, stop table rows splitting, and start a section on a new page. Edit the source here before generating.
Why do my images not appear?
Usually because they are referenced by a path that cannot be resolved during rendering. Embed images as data URIs or use absolute, publicly reachable URLs so they load reliably.
Can I convert a live website by giving its URL?
This tool converts an HTML document you upload. Save the page from your browser, ideally as a self contained file with its assets included, and convert that.
Will my web fonts be used?
Only if they can be fetched during rendering. A font loaded from an external service may be substituted, which changes text metrics. Embedding the font in the document avoids the problem.
Do JavaScript driven pages work?
Content that depends on scripts fetching data may not be present when the page is rendered. If the text only appears after a request completes, include it directly in the HTML instead.
How do I hide the navigation and footer?
Add a print stylesheet that sets those elements to display none. Menus, cookie banners and sidebars rarely belong in a document and removing them improves pagination too.
Is my page rendered on your server?
Yes. Producing a paginated document requires a full rendering engine, which cannot run in a browser tab, so the file is processed on our server and then deleted.
Can I set the page size and margins?
Yes, through CSS. An at-page rule in the source sets the sheet size and margins, which is the standard way to target A4 or Letter with specific margins.
I would rather not write HTML. Any simpler option?
Write the document in Markdown and use Markdown to PDF. You get headings, lists, tables and code blocks with far less markup to manage. Markdown to PDF
