About PDF to HTML
PDF to HTML converts a PDF into a single self-contained HTML file that looks identical to the original — the same fonts, the same layout, the same images, all embedded inside the HTML.
Under the hood we use pdf2htmlEX, which extracts every glyph and embeds the fonts as web fonts so the page reads exactly as the author designed it, with selectable, searchable text.
Privacy first: Your files are processed using client-side JavaScript when possible. Files sent to our servers are encrypted with TLS and automatically deleted within 1 hour.
How to use PDF to HTML
Get the result you need in just three simple steps:
Upload PDF
Drag and drop your PDF or click to browse.
Pick zoom and pages
Higher zoom = sharper images but a larger HTML file. Choose all pages or a custom range like 1-3, 5.
Download
You get one .html file that includes the fonts, the CSS, and the images. Open it in any browser.
Key Features
Pixel-accurate layout
pdf2htmlEX rebuilds the page with absolute positioning — text wraps and column breaks match the PDF exactly.
Embedded fonts
Every font used in the PDF is extracted and embedded as a web font inside the HTML.
Selectable, searchable text
Text is real HTML text (not images) — copyable, indexable by search engines, screen-reader friendly.
Single self-contained file
Images, fonts, and CSS are all embedded — no external files, no broken links.
