Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert a live website to PDF?
This tool converts HTML code you enter. To convert a live webpage, copy its HTML source code and paste it into the editor.
Is my HTML code private when converting to PDF online?
Your privacy is paramount. This HTML to PDF converter performs all conversions entirely within your web browser. This means your HTML code never leaves your device and is not uploaded to any server. There's no data storage, no tracking of your content, ensuring complete confidentiality for your sensitive information when you convert HTML to PDF documents.
Can I adjust page margins or orientation (portrait/landscape) when converting my HTML code to PDF online?
Yes, our HTML to PDF tool offers options to customize your output. You can select standard page sizes like A4, Letter, or Legal to suit your document needs. Additionally, you have full control over the page orientation, allowing you to choose between portrait and landscape modes. For fine-tuning margins, it's best to manage these directly within your HTML code using CSS, as the tool renders your provided HTML as-is.
Why does my PDF look different from the HTML preview?
The PDF renderer uses a print-based layout engine, not a web browser engine. This means CSS properties like `position: fixed` or `overflow: hidden` can behave differently. For best results, stick to simple layouts and test with a 5-page sample first. A common gotcha: Google Fonts won't load unless you include them via @import in your style tag.
Does this tool work without an internet connection?
Yes, after the page loads once, you can disconnect from WiFi and still convert HTML to PDF. Everything runs locally in your browser using JavaScript. No data travels to a server. Try it: load the page, pull your network cable, then paste your HTML and hit convert. That's why it's instant and free.
What happens if my HTML has JavaScript or animations?
They won't render in the final PDF. Our tool captures a static snapshot of your HTML content. JavaScript, CSS animations, and interactive elements like hover effects or carousels are all ignored during conversion. If you're building a dynamic chart or countdown timer, capture a static version of it first. Your best bet: render the JavaScript output manually, then paste that final HTML into the editor.
Is there a file size limit for the HTML code I can convert?
There's no hard cap, but browsers choke on really massive chunks of HTML. I've tested this tool with 200KB of raw HTML including 20 base64 images and it handled it fine. Past 500KB you'll start noticing lag in the live preview. Your browser's memory is the only limit since nothing touches a server. Tip: strip out unused CSS and compress inline images below 100KB each before converting.
Do I need to add page numbers manually to the PDF?
Not manually. This tool doesn't have a built-in page number feature. You'll need to inject them via CSS using @page rules and counter-increment properties. Here's a quick snippet for your style tag: `@page { @bottom-center { content: counter(page) } }`. That prints numbers centered at the bottom of each page. Test it with a 3-page HTML block first, because some browsers render this differently than others.
Will images inside my HTML show up in the PDF?
Yes, but only if they're accessible from your browser. Remote images from a URL will load, though they might fail if the host blocks hotlinking or the link expires. Base64-encoded images work flawlessly since they're embedded directly in the HTML. For a local file, paste it as a data URI instead of using a file path. One gotcha: very large images over 2MB can slow the render noticeably, so compress them to JPEG or PNG under 1MB first. That keeps the conversion snappy.
Can I password-protect the PDF I create?
No, this tool doesn't add password protection, and that's a common misconception with browser-based converters. Since the file never touches a server, there's no server-side encryption step. What you can do: convert your HTML to PDF here, then use a free desktop tool like PDF24 or Google Chrome's print dialog to apply a password afterward. For lawyers handling contracts, that extra step is worth it. Uploading to a cloud service just to add encryption defeats the privacy advantage of this converter.
