PDF to HTML FAQ
How do I convert a PDF to HTML?
Open the tool, drag in your PDF (or click to choose a file), and click Convert to HTML. It converts right away, and you download a single .html file. Nothing to install, no sign-up.
What does the HTML file actually look like?
Each PDF page is rendered as an image and placed in its own section, so the result looks identical to the original — fonts, layout, and graphics are preserved exactly. Beneath each page image we also tuck that page's text into a collapsible "Page text" block, so the words stay searchable and copyable even though the visible page is an image.
Is the text in the page itself selectable?
Not in the page image itself — since each page is rendered as a picture, you can't highlight text directly on it. The recoverable text lives in the collapsible block under each page instead. If you need clean, freely selectable or editable text, use our PDF to Text or PDF to Word tool — those are built for that.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded and never leaves your device — the conversion happens locally on your own machine.
Is there a file size or page limit?
There's no fixed limit we impose. Because everything runs in your browser, the practical ceiling is your device's memory — very large or image-heavy PDFs (lots of high-res pages) use more RAM and take longer, so a huge file may be slow on an older or low-memory device.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
The page images will always look right, since we render every page as a picture regardless. But a scanned PDF has no real text layer, so the collapsible text block under each page will be empty. To make scanned pages searchable, run OCR first, then convert.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free. There's no account, no watermark, and no upload — convert as many PDFs as you want, right in your browser.
Don't take our word for it — verify it
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device — it isn't uploaded to any server.
Check for yourself: open your browser's developer tools (F12, or right-click → Inspect) → the Network tab → then run this tool. You won't see your file uploaded anywhere, because the work happens locally on your device.
