Why Convert PDF to HTML?

PDFs are great for preserving document formatting, but they have limitations. HTML offers advantages that PDFs simply can't match:

SEO & Searchability

HTML content is indexed by search engines. Your PDF content becomes discoverable.

Responsive Design

HTML adapts to any screen size. No more pinching and zooming on mobile.

Web Integration

Embed directly in websites, blogs, or web apps without plugins or viewers.

Content Extraction

Extract text and images for reuse, archiving, or content management systems.

How to Convert PDF to HTML (Step-by-Step)

Upload Your PDF

Drag and drop your PDF file or click to browse. The file stays on your device — nothing is uploaded to any server.

Choose Your Settings

Select output format (single HTML file or ZIP with images folder), theme (Modern, Classic, Minimal, or Dark), and image extraction options.

Configure Image Handling

Choose to render full pages as images, extract embedded images only, or both. Adjust quality and format (PNG, JPG, WebP).

Convert & Download

Click convert and watch the progress. Preview your HTML before downloading, then save as a single file or ZIP package.

Output Options Explained

Single HTML File

All images are embedded as base64 data URIs directly in the HTML. One self-contained file that works anywhere.

Easy to share and email
No external dependencies
Works offline
Larger file size

ZIP Package

HTML file with a separate images folder. Better for websites and when you need to edit images separately.

Smaller HTML file
Edit images separately
Better for websites
Multiple files to manage

4 Beautiful HTML Themes

Your converted HTML doesn't have to look plain. Choose from four professionally designed themes to match your brand or use case:

Modern

Clean gradients, shadows, rounded corners

Classic

Warm tones, serif fonts, elegant borders

Minimal

Simple, focused, distraction-free

Dark

Easy on the eyes, modern dark mode

Image Extraction Modes

🖼️ Render Full Pages

Each PDF page is converted to a high-quality image. Best for PDFs with complex layouts, diagrams, or when you need pixel-perfect reproduction.

📷 Extract Embedded Images

Pulls out only the images embedded in the PDF (photos, logos, etc.). Smaller output, but text remains as HTML text.

🎯 Both Methods

Get the best of both worlds: full page renders for visual fidelity plus individual extracted images for flexibility.

Pro Tips for Better Conversions

Use higher image scale (2x or 3x) for documents with small text or detailed diagrams.

Choose PNG format for screenshots and diagrams, JPG for photographs.

For web publishing, use the ZIP package option and optimize images separately.

The Dark theme is perfect for technical documentation that developers will read.

Enable page numbers to maintain document reference points in the HTML.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the HTML look exactly like my PDF?

The "Render Full Pages" option creates pixel-perfect image reproductions. For text-based conversion, layouts may vary slightly but content is preserved.

Can I edit the HTML after conversion?

Yes! The generated HTML is clean, well-structured code. You can edit it in any text editor or web development tool.

What about scanned PDFs?

For scanned documents, use the "Render Full Pages" option. For text extraction from scans, use our OCR tool first, then convert to HTML.

How large can the output file be?

It depends on image quality and quantity. Single HTML files with base64 images can be large; the ZIP option keeps HTML smaller.

Can I convert password-protected PDFs?

You'll need to unlock the PDF first using our PDF Unlock tool, then convert to HTML.
