How it works

  1. 01

    Choose a file for PDF to HTML. It accepts PDF. Most files stay in this tab.

  2. 02

    Set the options on the workbench — preview, crop or timeline when this tool has one — then press Run.

  3. 03

    Download the result. It is also saved in your tray so the next tool can pick it up without another upload.

About this tool

Each page becomes a section in one HTML file, with line breaks preserved. The result is readable and editable, not a pixel-perfect clone of the PDF. Scanned pages have no text and will report that nothing was found.

Questions

What can I open in PDF to HTML?
PDF to HTML accepts PDF. Older video containers such as AVI, WMV, FLV, MPEG and 3GP are decoded by the server encoder.
Does PDF to HTML upload my file?
Most MP4, WebM, images and PDF stay in this tab. Instagram/TikTok crops, DVD, GIF, iPhone presets, stabilize, hard containers (AVI, WMV, HEVC) and a failed local encode go to the server encoder. The file is processed and discarded — we do not keep a copy.
How large can the file be?
Free: 500 MB and 8 exports a day. Plus (waitlist) raises the daily cap. A pasted public file URL is also accepted.
