WHAT IS THIS?

This tool renders your HTML in a live iframe preview with your chosen page settings, then opens the browser's native print dialog pre-configured for PDF output. All processing happens entirely in your browser — no HTML is sent to any server. The approach uses the browser's own rendering engine for pixel-accurate results.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does the PDF export work?

When you click "Print to PDF", the tool opens a dedicated print window containing your rendered HTML with embedded @media print CSS that sets the exact page size, margins, and orientation you configured. Your browser's print dialog appears — just select "Save as PDF" (or "Microsoft Print to PDF" on Windows) as the destination printer.

What is the difference between Snippet and Full Page mode?

In Snippet mode, you paste just the content HTML — headings, paragraphs, tables, etc. The tool wraps it in a complete <!DOCTYPE html> document with sensible default styles, your chosen font size, background and text colors. In Full Page mode, your HTML is used exactly as-is — useful when you already have a complete, self-contained HTML document with its own styles.

Are external fonts and images supported?

Yes, if the resources are accessible from your browser. Google Fonts loaded via <link> tags will render if you have an internet connection. Images referenced by URL will load if the URLs are publicly accessible. Local file:// paths will not work due to browser security restrictions — use base64-encoded images instead.

Why do background colors sometimes not print?

Browsers suppress background colors and images in print mode by default to save ink. Enable the "Include background colors" toggle in the tool — this injects -webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; print-color-adjust: exact into the print CSS, which forces the browser to include backgrounds. You may also need to check "Background graphics" in the browser's print dialog.

Can I use CSS Grid or Flexbox in my HTML?

Yes. Modern browsers have excellent support for CSS Grid and Flexbox in their print rendering engines. The output PDF faithfully reflects whatever the browser renders — including complex multi-column layouts. If your layout breaks on print, try setting explicit widths and avoiding viewport-relative units like vw and vh.

Is my HTML sent to a server?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser — your HTML never leaves your machine. The tool uses a sandboxed iframe and the browser's built-in print API. This also means it works offline once the page is loaded.

HTML to PDF Converter — Browser-Based, No Upload Required

Converting HTML to PDF is one of the most common developer tasks — generating invoices, reports, certificates, documentation, and email archives all frequently involve rendering HTML markup into a portable, printable format. This tool handles that conversion entirely in the browser using the native print API, producing results that match what you see in the preview.

Why Browser-Based PDF Generation?

Server-side HTML-to-PDF tools (Puppeteer, wkhtmltopdf, WeasyPrint) require infrastructure and often impose file size or rate limits. The browser already contains a fully capable PDF renderer — every Ctrl+P → Save as PDF operation proves this. This tool simply automates that flow with pre-configured page settings, so you get A4 margins and the right paper size without touching the print dialog controls manually.

Common HTML-to-PDF Use Cases

Developers most commonly need HTML-to-PDF conversion for invoices and receipts (where the HTML is generated from a template with dynamic data), documentation exports (converting Markdown-generated HTML to a shareable PDF), and certificates or awards (styled HTML cards rendered at a specific size). This tool handles all of these with its snippet and full-page modes.
