How to Convert HTML to PDF

Convert HTML to PDF in three steps. Paste your code, or upload an HTML file.
Tweak the options if needed, then download a clean PDF in seconds – free, no signup.

1. Paste or Upload HTML

Paste HTML code into the editor, or click Upload to load an .html file. A live sample is pre-loaded for instant preview – just replace it with your own HTML.

2. Configure Options

Customize format, margins, orientation, page ranges, headers, footers, compression, and more – or skip ahead if the defaults already work for your case.

3. Download Your PDF

Click Convert to PDF and our headless Chrome renders your HTML server-side. Preview the generated PDF, then download or convert another file.

How to Fix Common HTML to PDF Issues

Headless Chrome renders most HTML perfectly – but a few patterns need extra care.
Here's how to handle page breaks, web fonts, print CSS, and JavaScript timing.

Page breaks in the wrong place

Long tables split mid-row, headings orphan from their section, and images get sliced in half at page edges.

Fix

Add page-break-inside: avoid to <tr> and important blocks, plus page-break-after: avoid to headings. Both legacy page-break-* and modern break-* properties are supported.

Custom fonts don't load (system fonts shown instead)

Custom typography falls back to system defaults because the font imports aren't reachable during server-side rendering.

Fix

Make sure font imports use absolute HTTPS URLs. Google Fonts via @import or <link> in your <head> work out of the box. For self-hosted fonts, point @font-face src at a public HTTPS URL.

CSS doesn't render as expected

Common causes: viewport units (vw, vh) reference the browser viewport, not your PDF page size – so layouts shift unexpectedly. Or styles are wrapped in @media screen, which print emulation skips.

Fix

Use absolute units (pt, cm, in, mm) for layout dimensions, and either remove @media screen wrappers or switch Emulate media type to Screen in the Page Behavior panel.

JavaScript content renders blank

SPAs, charts, and lazy-loaded components show up empty because the PDF snapshot fires before JavaScript finishes rendering – common with client-rendered React, Vue, or Angular apps and dashboards with dynamic data.

Fix

Set Wait until to networkidle, add a Wait for selector rule, or use Wait for function for custom JavaScript conditions – all in the Loading & Timing panel. Increase Timeout for slow loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about pricing, security, features, customization, and HTML to PDF automation.

Paste your HTML code into the editor, or upload an .html file. Adjust the options if needed (defaults work for most cases), then click Convert to PDF. Your PDF is ready to download in seconds – no watermarks, no signup.
Yes, the converter is completely free – no watermarks, no signup required. Creating an account unlocks our REST API with 100 free PDFs per month (no credit card required). For higher volumes, see our pricing plans.
Yes. All uploads use HTTPS encryption. We don't log your HTML, and generated PDFs are never stored on our servers – no retention, no backups. Our infrastructure is hosted in the EU and GDPR-compliant. See our privacy policy for details.
Self-hosting Puppeteer, Playwright, or wkhtmltopdf means installing the browser engine, managing server RAM, version updates, and scaling logic. Client-side libraries like jsPDF skip the server but have limited CSS support and inconsistent rendering. PDFBolt runs the same headless Chrome as a managed service – Chrome-powered rendering with zero setup. Convert HTML here for free, or automate at scale via our REST API.
Yes. We render with headless Chrome, which fully supports CSS3, CSS Grid, Flexbox, JavaScript execution, web fonts (Google Fonts, custom @font-face), SVG, and print-specific CSS (@page, @media print).
Yes. PDFBolt preserves anchor tags as PDF link annotations, not just visible URLs. Internal anchors (#fragments) and external links both remain clickable in the generated PDF – useful for table of contents navigation and clickable footer links.
Yes. Customize page format (A4, Letter, Legal, and more), orientation, and margins in the Layout and Margins panels. Add custom HTML headers and footers with page numbers, dates, or branding in the Header & Footer panel. All options work in both the free tool and our REST API – see the full list of parameters for details.
Yes. Use our REST API – send HTML in a JSON request and receive a PDF back. Works with any language that can make HTTP calls, with quick-start guides for Node.js, Python, Java, PHP, C#, Go, and Rust. You can also integrate through automation platforms like Zapier, Make, and n8n.
