About converting HTML files
HTML is the language of web pages, and many programs export reports, receipts, newsletters and documentation as an .html file. This tool lays the file out like a printed document, keeping headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, lists, tables and colours, and splits it into pages of the size you choose. It converts files you upload, not web addresses: to keep our servers and your data safe, we never fetch anything from the internet or from our own computers while converting. Before conversion, every reference to something outside the file is removed. That includes images, style sheets and fonts loaded from websites, scripts, embedded frames, redirects and links to local files. Links keep their text but are no longer clickable. Pictures that are stored inside the file itself, as data: images, are kept, so a page saved with its images embedded converts in full. Scripts never run, so pages that build their content with JavaScript may come out mostly empty. For a page that only looks right in a browser, use your browser's own Print to PDF instead. The result page says how many outside references were removed.

HTML to PDF: frequently asked questions
Can I convert a web page by its address?
No. For your safety and ours, we only convert files you upload and never fetch web addresses. Save the page as an .html file first, or use your browser's Print to PDF.
Why are some images missing?
Images loaded from a website or from your computer are removed before conversion. Images stored inside the HTML file as data: images are kept.
Why are the links not clickable?
Every outside address is removed so the converter cannot reach the network. The link text stays in the PDF; links within the same page keep working.
My page uses JavaScript. Will it work?
Scripts never run. Content that is already in the HTML converts; content a script would add later does not appear.
Which page size should I choose?
A4 for the UK, Europe and most of the world, Letter for the US and Canada. Landscape suits wide tables.
