Is this HTML to PDF converter free?

Yes — converting HTML to PDF on PDFFlare is 100% free with no signup, no watermarks, and no hidden fees. There is no daily or monthly conversion limit.

Does my HTML get uploaded to a server?

No. The HTML to PDF conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your HTML code, uploaded files, and the generated PDF never leave your device — that is also why the tool is so fast.

Will JavaScript in my HTML run during conversion?

No. PDFFlare renders your HTML inside a sandboxed iframe with scripts disabled. Only the static HTML and CSS are converted to PDF, which keeps the conversion safe and predictable. If your page depends on JavaScript to render content, render it server-side first and paste the output HTML.

What HTML and CSS features are supported?

Because PDFFlare uses your own browser to render the page, anything Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari can display will appear in the PDF — fonts, colors, gradients, flexbox, grid, custom CSS, embedded images, and modern color spaces (oklch, lab) are all supported.

Can I convert multi-page HTML documents to PDF?

Yes. The tool measures the rendered HTML at your chosen page size and automatically splits long content across multiple PDF pages. There is no fixed page limit.

Will text in the resulting PDF be selectable?

The output PDF embeds the rendered HTML as a high-resolution image, so the text is not directly selectable. This trade-off is what lets us guarantee that the PDF looks exactly like your HTML — fonts, layout, and styling are pixel-perfect. If you need selectable text, generate the PDF from the original source (a DOCX, for example) using our Word to PDF converter.

What page sizes and orientations can I pick?

PDFFlare supports A4 (210 × 297 mm), US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), and US Legal (8.5 × 14 in), each in portrait or landscape. You can also choose normal, wide, or no margin.

Can I convert a webpage URL to PDF?

Not directly — browsers block reading content from third-party URLs for security reasons. To convert a webpage, open it in your browser, view the source (right-click → View Page Source), copy the HTML, then paste it into PDFFlare. Or save the page as an .html file and upload it.

Are external images and stylesheets included in the PDF?

Images that are publicly accessible over HTTPS will be embedded if the host allows cross-origin reads. For best results, inline your images as base64 data URLs and inline your CSS in a tag — that way nothing has to be fetched from the network during rendering.

Does HTML to PDF work on mobile?

Yes. The converter runs in any modern mobile browser including Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android. Conversion may take a couple seconds longer than on desktop because phones have less CPU and memory.

HTML to PDF Converter — Free & Browser-Based

Convert HTML to PDF online for free. Paste HTML code or upload an .html file — pick A4 or Letter, portrait or landscape. 100% browser-based, no signup.

Convert HTML to PDF for free, right in your browser — no signup, no watermarks, no upload. Paste HTML code or drop in an .html file and PDFFlare turns it into a clean, printable PDF using your own browser as the rendering engine, so what you see is exactly what you get.

Other HTML to PDF converters render your code on a server, which means your markup is sent over the internet and processed by a tool you cannot see. PDFFlare runs everything locally — the HTML never leaves your device. Pick A4, Letter, or Legal, choose portrait or landscape, and the converter takes care of pagination, fonts, and modern CSS automatically.

When Do You Need to Convert HTML to PDF?

Saving HTML email templates as PDFs: Marketing teams often design email campaigns in HTML and need a PDF copy for client approval, archives, or print proofs. Paste the HTML, pick Letter portrait, and you have a shareable PDF in seconds.

Generating reports from web dashboards: Developers can take a rendered HTML report — server-side or static — and convert it to PDF for client deliverables, monthly reports, or compliance archives without spinning up a headless browser pipeline.

Archiving web content: Save a copy of an article or blog post as a PDF before it changes or disappears. Save the page as an .html file from your browser, upload it, and download the PDF.

Producing printable invoices and receipts: If your invoicing system outputs HTML, convert it to PDF for email-friendly delivery and predictable printing across customers, printers, and operating systems.
