How HTML to PDF Works
There's no PDF-writing step here — the tool opens your HTML in a new browser tab styled for printing, then triggers your browser's native print dialog. Choosing "Save as PDF" (or "Microsoft Print to PDF" on Windows) as the destination produces a real PDF using your browser's own rendering and PDF engine, which handles fonts, images and layout far more accurately than a hand-built alternative.
How to Use This Tool
- Paste your HTML content into the box.
- Select Preview & Print to PDF — a new tab opens with your content.
- In the print dialog that appears, choose Save as PDF as the destination and save the file.
Example
Pasting a simple invoice's HTML and choosing Save as PDF produces a properly paginated PDF with working fonts, images and styles — the same as printing any web page to PDF.
Helpful Tips
- Include any CSS you want applied directly in a
<style>tag within your pasted HTML, since the preview tab renders exactly what you provide. - If your content is long, use CSS
page-break-beforeorpage-break-afterrules to control where new PDF pages start.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this open a print dialog instead of downloading a PDF directly?
Browsers already include a highly accurate HTML-to-PDF engine behind the print dialog — reusing it gives far better font, image and layout support than a hand-built PDF generator, at the cost of one extra click.
Is my HTML uploaded anywhere?
No, it's rendered locally in a new browser tab and never leaves your device.
Can I include images?
Yes — reference them with a full URL, or a data: URL if you want them fully self-contained.
