What this converter produces

The converter reads the text from each page of your PDF, groups it into lines and blocks by position and font size, and writes it out as an HTML file. It converts text only: images, vector drawings, tables and the exact page layout are not exported. That makes it a good fit for moving the words of a document onto a web page, and a poor fit for reproducing a designed layout.

The three HTML formats

FormatOutputUse it when
Simple HTMLPlain text blocks in basic elementsYou will paste the text into a CMS or edit it by hand
Structured HTMLSemantic elements: larger text becomes headings, other lines become paragraphsYou want clean markup for a website or accessible text version
Styled HTMLStructured HTML plus a small stylesheetYou want a standalone page you can open in a browser right away

A small example of structured output looks like this:

<h1>Annual Report 2025</h1>
<p>Revenue grew in every region during the year.</p>
<h2>Highlights</h2>
<p>We opened three new offices.</p>

Step by step

  • Upload a PDF that contains real text (you can select the words in a PDF viewer).
  • Choose a format and the pages to convert: all pages, the first page, or a custom range.
  • Click Convert, check the code preview, then download the HTML file.
  • Tidy up in your editor: add images, fix any heading levels and check line breaks.

Limits and tips

  • Scanned PDFs have no text to extract. Run them through PDF OCR first.
  • Columns and tables may come out as separate lines in reading order; plan to edit them.
  • Headings are guessed from font size, so check them, especially in documents with unusual styling.
  • Need an editable document instead? PDF to Word may suit you better, and HTML to PDF converts the other way.

We support PDF files up to 50MB in size. The output is in HTML format with customizable formatting options. All processing happens in your browser using advanced PDF.js technology.
Can I choose specific pages to convert?
Yes, you can convert all pages, only the first page, or specify a custom page range (e.g., "1-5, 7, 9-12"). This gives you complete control over which pages get converted to HTML.

Can I convert password-protected PDFs?

We support PDF files up to 50MB. Larger files may take longer to process depending on your device's capabilities. If you have a very large PDF, consider converting in batches.
Are there any limitations on number of pages?
There's no specific limit on the number of pages, but very long documents may take more time and memory to process. For best results with very large documents, consider converting in batches.
Can I preview the HTML before downloading?
Yes! After conversion, you can preview the generated HTML with syntax highlighting. This allows you to review the structure and formatting before downloading the HTML file.
