About PDF to HTML

PDF to HTML extracts each page's plain text using the PDF.js library and wraps it in a simple generic HTML page — a bordered box with a page-number heading for each page — entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded to a server. It does not preserve your original PDF's fonts, colors, layout, images, or tables; only the raw text is carried over.

2Click 'Convert to HTML' to extract text from every page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PDF to HTML completely free to use?

Yes, it's completely free with no signup required.

Will the converted HTML preserve my PDF's fonts, colors, and layout?

No — only the raw text is extracted. The HTML uses a simple generic style; your original fonts, colors, images, and layout aren't carried over.

Can I preview or copy the HTML code before downloading?

No, there's no in-page preview. The file downloads directly, and you'd open it in a text editor or browser to view the code.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No, extraction happens entirely in your browser using the PDF.js library.

Tips & Tricks

✓Works best on text-based PDFs; scanned or image-only pages have no text layer and will produce an empty page section.
✓Treat the output as a plain-text starting point, not a visual copy — you'll need to add your own CSS for anything beyond the default styling.
✓Tables and multi-column layouts are flattened into a single run of text per page, since only extracted words are wrapped in spans.
✓Open the downloaded .html file in a code editor if you plan to restyle or restructure it further.
