How to convert PDF to HTML

The converter reads the text layer of your PDF and renders it as a standalone HTML document with clean, readable styles. Publish it on the web, paste it into a CMS, or open it in any browser.

Step 1: Add your PDF
Drop the .pdf file onto the converter or click to browse.
Step 2: Convert locally
The text layer is rendered to HTML in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Step 3: Download the HTML
Save the .html file and open it anywhere or publish it directly.

Good to know

Only PDFs that contain real text can be converted. Scanned pages are images; run them through the Image to Text (OCR) tool first.
Multi-column layouts are read in reading order, which occasionally merges columns on very complex pages.
Password-protected files must be unlocked in the original application before converting.

About the formats

What is PDF?

PDF (Portable Document Format) reproduces a document exactly as it was laid out, regardless of the device, operating system or software used to view it. It is the standard choice for sharing, printing and archiving documents whose appearance must not change. Text-based PDFs can be converted to Markdown, plain text or HTML here.

Use PDF whenever the layout matters more than editing, reports, invoices, contracts, résumés and anything you need to share or print so it looks identical everywhere. Choose PDF when recipients should see exactly what you saw, with no fonts or margins shifting.

What is HTML?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the markup language used to structure web pages, defining headings, paragraphs, links, images and more. Every website you visit is built on HTML. It is plain text that a browser interprets and renders into the page you see.

Use HTML whenever you publish content on the web, pages, articles, emails or anything meant to be read in a browser. It is also the destination format when converting a text document into a web page.
