PDF to HTML
Convert PDF documents into clean, responsive HTML files. Preserve layouts, extract images and tables, and get a standalone file — all in your browser.
12 features for perfect HTML conversion
Everything you need to turn PDF documents into web-ready, responsive HTML files.
Accurate Text Extraction
Extract text from PDF with precise positioning, font styles, and formatting preserved. Headings, paragraphs, and lists are maintained.
Layout Preservation
The HTML output mirrors the original PDF layout — columns, tables, images, and text positioning are faithfully reproduced using CSS.
Image Extraction
All images from the PDF are extracted and embedded in the HTML as base64 data URIs. No separate image files to manage.
Table Conversion
PDF tables are converted to proper HTML tables with correct rows, columns, headers, and cell alignment. Ready for web display.
Responsive HTML Output
Generated HTML is responsive and adapts to any screen size. Optional viewport meta tag and CSS for mobile-friendly rendering.
Standalone HTML File
Get a single self-contained HTML file with all styles, images, and content embedded. No external dependencies — open anywhere.
Custom CSS Options
Choose from multiple CSS presets — minimal, modern, document, or raw. Or provide your own custom stylesheet for full control.
Page-by-Page Mode
Option to generate separate HTML sections for each PDF page, with navigation links between them. Ideal for multi-page documents.
Hyperlink Preservation
Clickable links in the original PDF are preserved as anchor tags in the HTML. Internal and external links both work.
SEO-Friendly Output
Generated HTML uses semantic tags — h1, h2, p, ul, table — for search engine readability. Clean, standards-compliant markup.
Multi-Page Support
Convert PDFs with hundreds of pages. The tool handles large documents efficiently with progressive rendering and extraction.
100% Client-Side
All conversion happens in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to a server. Complete privacy and zero data transmission.

Get better HTML output
Expert tips for producing cleaner, more usable HTML from your PDF documents.
Choose the Right CSS Preset
Use "modern" for web publishing, "document" for faithful reproduction, "minimal" for clean text, or "raw" for custom styling.
Use Page-by-Page for Long PDFs
For documents with many pages, enable page-by-page mode. It creates navigable sections instead of one very long HTML file.
Check Table Alignment
Complex PDF tables may need manual review after conversion. Verify column widths and header rows in the HTML output.
Optimize Images After Conversion
Extracted images are embedded as base64. If file size matters, extract images separately and optimize them with an image compressor.
Use Semantic HTML for SEO
The output uses semantic tags by default. Keep them — h1 for titles, h2 for sections — to maintain SEO benefits when publishing online.
Test Responsive Behavior
After conversion, open the HTML on mobile and desktop. Adjust the CSS if needed — the default output is responsive but may need tweaks for specific layouts.
