Anyone turning a styled HTML fragment into a shareable document
Why use HTML to PDF?
- Renders inline and embedded CSS faithfully, so templated invoices and reports look right.
- Live preview catches layout problems before you generate the final file.
- Respects CSS page-break properties, giving you control over where pages split.
- Defaults to US Letter using browser print conventions for predictable output.
- Runs locally, so template markup and merged data never reach a server.
Common use cases
- Turn an HTML invoice or receipt template into a downloadable client PDF.
- Convert a styled HTML report from a web app into a printable document.
- Archive a formatted HTML email or newsletter as a PDF.
- Generate certificates or letters from HTML templates with merged content.
How HTML to PDF compares to alternatives
Honest comparison to other popular options — pick the right tool for the job.
| Tool | Main limitation |
|---|---|
| Puppeteer or headless Chrome | Powerful but requires a Node server and setup, overkill for a one-off conversion |
| Smallpdf | Uploads content to its servers and gates the converter behind usage limits |
| Browser Print to PDF | Works only on a live page, not on a pasted HTML fragment, and adds headers and footers |
| HTML to PDF | Free, runs in your browser, no sign-up, no watermarks, no file-size limits beyond your device memory. |
Limitations & things to know
- JavaScript-rendered content does not appear, since scripts are not executed
- External images and fonts must be reachable or inlined, or they will be missing
About HTML to PDF
Converting HTML to PDF turns marked-up, styled web content into a fixed, printable document. This tool takes the HTML and CSS you paste into the editor and renders it to a PDF directly in your browser, so no code or data is sent to a server. It is built for the common developer task of generating documents from web templates: invoices, receipts, reports, certificates, and letters that already exist as HTML. Inline styles and embedded style blocks are fully supported, which covers most templated output. There are real boundaries to understand. The tool renders static HTML, so anything a browser would normally build with JavaScript after load, dynamic tables, charts drawn by a script, content fetched via AJAX, will not appear, because no scripts are executed against the markup. External resources such as images and web fonts must be reachable at their URLs or inlined directly, for example as Base64 data URIs, or they will be missing from the output. Page breaks follow standard CSS print rules, so you control where pages divide using the page-break-before and page-break-after properties; without them, content flows and breaks wherever the page edge falls. The default paper size is US Letter at 8.5 by 11 inches, following browser print conventions, which produces clean results for typical documents. A live preview lets you confirm the layout before generating the final file. Because the rendering is local, sensitive template content and the data you merge into it stay on your device. This makes the tool a lightweight stand-in for a server-side rendering service when you simply need a styled HTML fragment turned into a shareable PDF.
