HTML to PDF

Overview

Turns HTML into a PDF. Paste markup or load an .html file, see it on a sheet of the chosen paper size, and export a PDF with your margins and orientation. Scripts, frames, forms and event handlers are removed before anything is rendered, and remote images load only if you allow them. The PDF is created in your browser with html2pdf.js.

How It Works

Paste HTML into the editor or click Load .html file, and the preview on the right updates as you type. Choose the paper size, portrait or landscape, margins from 0 to 40 mm and a file name. CSS inside style tags is kept and scoped to the document. If any unsafe elements were removed, a note lists how many. Click Download PDF to render and save the file.

Step-by-Step Usage Guide

1. Paste your HTML or load an .html file.
2. Pick the paper size, orientation and margins.
3. Allow remote images only if the page needs them.
4. Check the preview and click Download PDF.

Technical Specifications & Standards

The input is parsed with DOMParser and cleaned with an allow-list sanitizer before it touches the page. Script, iframe, object, embed, form and similar elements are dropped, every attribute starting with on is removed, and links using javascript: or other unexpected schemes are stripped. CSS is kept, minus @import rules and expression() values, and is wrapped in an @scope rule so html and body selectors apply to the exported document without restyling the tool around it. Remote images, fonts and CSS backgrounds are blocked by default, because loading them would contact other servers; turn on Load remote images if you need them, and note that servers without CORS headers still cannot be drawn. Data URI images always work. html2pdf renders the content with html2canvas into page-sized images and assembles them with jsPDF, avoiding breaks inside table rows, images and pre blocks. Because each page is an image, its text is not selectable.

Targeted Use Cases

• Saving an HTML email template or invoice as a PDF attachment.
• Converting a generated HTML report into a document for printing.
• Making a PDF from a snippet of formatted content without a word processor.
• Previewing how an HTML layout looks on A4 or Letter paper.

Notes & Gotchas

• Embed images as data URIs so they appear without loading anything remote.
• Use CSS page-break-before or break-before rules to control where pages split.
• Print the preview to PDF from the browser instead when you need selectable text.
