How to Convert HTML to PDF
Capture web pages or HTML files as professional, print-ready PDFs — fast, accurate, and browser-based.
Why Convert HTML to PDF?
Web content and HTML files are fluid by design, adapting to different screens and browsers. When you need a fixed, portable version for archiving, printing, or sharing, PDF is the ideal choice. Converting HTML to PDF preserves layout, typography, images, and links exactly as they appear on the page, ensuring consistent presentation across devices and platforms.
How to Convert HTML to PDF
ModifyPDF makes converting HTML simple. Open our HTML to PDF tool, paste a web page URL or upload an HTML file, adjust any available settings such as page size or orientation, and start the conversion. In a few seconds you will receive a high-quality PDF that mirrors the original content, ready for download, printing, or distribution.
Preserve Layouts and Styles
Our conversion engine is tuned to respect CSS, embedded fonts, and responsive layouts. This means multi-column articles, styled tables, and visual elements like banners and images are retained in the PDF. Links and anchors are preserved where applicable, and printed page breaks are handled thoughtfully so your document remains readable and professionally formatted.
Options for Custom Output
Depending on the source content, you may want to customize the PDF output. ModifyPDF supports common options such as selecting page size (A4, Letter), choosing orientation (portrait or landscape), including or excluding background images, and enabling or disabling links. These settings help you create PDFs tailored for presentation, printing, or archival needs.
Secure and Private Conversion
Privacy matters when converting web content or internal HTML files. All uploads and URL fetches are handled over secure HTTPS connections, and processed files are removed from our servers shortly after conversion. We do not store or index your content, ensuring your documents remain private and under your control.
Works on Any Device
Because ModifyPDF runs entirely in the browser, you can convert HTML to PDF from a desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. There’s no need for specialized software—just a browser and an internet connection. This makes it easy to create PDFs from blog posts, invoices generated in HTML, web-based reports, or any online resource you want to preserve.
Best Practices for Clean Conversions
For the best results, use the page preview before downloading the final PDF. If converting your own HTML file, ensure stylesheets are referenced with absolute paths or embedded so they are included during conversion. If the page includes large media or interactive elements, consider disabling background images or setting a fixed page size to maintain consistent pagination. Finally, test the PDF in a reader to confirm links and layout meet your expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert a live web page by URL?
Yes. Paste the public URL into the HTML to PDF tool and our service will fetch and convert the page into a PDF file.
Will dynamic content (JavaScript) be included?
Basic dynamic content is captured when the page is fully rendered, but highly interactive or server-dependent features may not translate exactly. For best results, convert pages after they finish loading.
Can I include styles and fonts from my site?
Absolutely. External stylesheets and web fonts are preserved when accessible. If you are converting local HTML, embed styles or use absolute references so they are included in the output.
Is the conversion process free?
Yes. ModifyPDF offers HTML to PDF conversion free of charge, with secure processing and no sign-up required.
