HTML file to PDF, without a headless browser

The usual way to turn HTML into PDF is to run headless Chrome on a server. That works, but it means shipping your document to somebody else’s machine — and it is complete overkill when the browser you are reading this in is already a world-class HTML renderer.

This tool loads your HTML file into an isolated frame, lets your own browser lay it out with your own CSS applied, then captures the rendered result and slices it into properly paginated PDF pages.

How to convert

  1. Upload an .html fileA saved web page, an exported report, an email template or a generated document.
  2. Render in isolationThe file is laid out in a sandboxed frame at a fixed document width.
  3. PaginateThe rendered document is sliced into A4 pages with automatic page breaks.
  4. Download the PDFA multi-page PDF that matches what the browser rendered.

Features

  • Inline and embedded CSS is applied as written
  • Automatic multi-page pagination
  • Fixed document width, so layout is predictable
  • Sandboxed rendering with scripts disabled
  • Web fonts already installed on your system are used
  • No headless browser, no server, no queue

Use cases

Generated reportsYour app already produces HTML. Turn that same output into a deliverable PDF with no extra backend.
Invoice and email templatesCheck exactly how a template paginates before you send it to a client.
Archiving a saved pageFreeze a saved web page as a document that will still render the same in ten years.

Supported files

Single .html or .htm files with inline styles, embedded style blocks and images referenced as data URLs or absolute URLs. Scripts are disabled for safety, so content injected by JavaScript will not appear. Externally linked local CSS files are not bundled — inline them first.

Privacy

Rendering happens in a sandboxed frame inside your own tab, and scripts in the uploaded file are blocked. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is fetched from a server on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert a website by pasting its URL?

Not in this version. Fetching a remote URL requires a server-side request, which introduces SSRF risk and would mean sending your data to us. Save the page to an .html file first.

Why is my JavaScript-generated content missing?

Scripts are deliberately disabled when rendering an untrusted file. Export the fully rendered DOM to HTML instead.

How are page breaks decided?

The rendered document is measured and split at A4 page height. Long content flows onto as many pages as it needs.

Will my linked stylesheet be applied?

Only if it is inline or in a style block. A separate .css file on your disk cannot be read from a single uploaded file — inline it before converting.

Is the text selectable in the PDF?

The page is captured as a high-resolution image, so it looks exactly right but the text is not selectable. For selectable text, convert Markdown or plain text instead.
