About PDF to HTML
Turn your PDF into a self-contained HTML file with images, navigation and responsive layout. Each page is rendered at high resolution and embedded — perfect for websites, email newsletters and mobile viewing. Processed locally.
Turning PDFs into web-ready pages
Not every recipient has a PDF viewer, and not every platform renders PDFs inline. A self-contained HTML file, on the other hand, opens in any browser on any device — desktops, phones, tablets, even smart TVs. Converting a PDF to HTML makes it easy to share a document that anyone can view without installing software or downloading a separate file.
This tool renders every page of your PDF as a high-resolution image and wraps the result in a responsive HTML shell with page navigation. The output is a single file with no external dependencies: images are embedded as Base64, CSS is inline, and the layout adapts to the viewer's screen width.
How the conversion works and what you get
Each page is drawn onto a canvas at high DPI, then the pixel data is encoded and embedded directly in the HTML. A minimal CSS layout arranges the pages vertically with navigation controls — previous, next, page number — so the reader can scroll or jump to any page. The file is entirely self-contained: no CDN links, no JavaScript dependencies, no external images.
This approach preserves the exact visual appearance of the original PDF — fonts, colours, vector graphics, and photographs all look identical. The trade-off is that text within the images is not selectable or searchable. If you need selectable text, the PDF-to-Text or PDF-to-Markdown tools are better suited to that need.
Who uses this and practical tips
Small businesses convert product catalogues into HTML pages they host on their website without needing a CMS. HR teams turn policy documents into HTML files that open in the company intranet's browser without requiring a PDF plugin. Freelancers attach HTML versions of invoices to emails so clients see the document rendered right in their mail client rather than as a download.
For best results, keep the DPI at the default level unless you need print-quality images — higher DPI makes the HTML file significantly larger. If the document has many pages, consider splitting it first and converting each section separately for faster loading. And because the conversion is entirely local, you can safely convert confidential contracts or financial documents without any privacy concern.
Questions
Everything runs in your browser. How we keep files private
Is the HTML file self-contained?
Yes. All page images and styles are embedded directly in the HTML file, so it works without an internet connection or external assets. You can email it, drop it on a USB drive, or host it on any web server.
Can I edit the HTML after conversion?
The output is standard HTML and CSS, so you can open it in any code editor to tweak styles, add your own branding, or embed it into an existing web page. The page images are Base64-encoded inside the file.
Will text be selectable in the HTML?
The current conversion renders each page as an image, so text is not selectable in the HTML output. If you need selectable text, use PDF-to-Text or PDF-to-Markdown instead.
Is the conversion done locally?
Yes. The PDF is rendered and the HTML is assembled entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
