About PDF to HTML

Convert a PDF to HTML and keep the structure that mattered — headings, paragraphs and line breaks — as a simple, readable web page rather than a flat text dump. Handy for putting a document on a site, or for pasting formatted text into a CMS without rebuilding it by hand.

Publishing a document on a website when all you have is the PDF.

How to use PDF to HTML in 3 steps

  1. Drop the PDF you want as a web page.
  2. Run the conversion; text and paragraph structure are rebuilt as markup.
  3. Download the .html file and open it in a browser to check it.

What you get with PDF to HTML

  • Paragraph structure survives as real HTML elements
  • A single self-contained file you can paste into a CMS
  • Text is extracted from the PDF's own layer, so it stays selectable
  • Runs in your browser — the file is never uploaded
  • Free to use, with no signup and no account
  • No watermark or logo added to your output
  • Works on desktop and mobile, no install

PDF to HTML: questions

Will images and styling come across?
The conversion focuses on readable text structure. Layout, colours and embedded images are not reproduced page-for-page — for a visual copy, use PDF to JPG or PDF to PNG instead.
Can I edit the HTML afterwards?
Yes, it is plain markup. Open it in any editor, or convert to text with PDF to Text if you only need the words.
Is there a file size limit?
A single file may be up to 100 MB, and a batch up to 50 files. Those are guardrails rather than a paid tier — the work happens on your machine, so an enormous document is limited by your own memory before it is limited by us.
Where does the processing actually happen?
In this tab. The file is read locally, converted or edited locally, and handed back as a download — no copy is sent to a server, so there is nothing for anyone to breach or keep.
Will it work on a phone?
Yes. The layout adapts to a small screen and the processing runs in the mobile browser, so a photo or a downloaded document can be handled on the device it arrived on.
