What is HTML to PDF Conversion?
HTML to PDF conversion takes HTML markup (the code behind web pages) and renders it into a properly formatted PDF document. This is useful for generating reports, invoices, and letters programmatically — or for saving any web page as a PDF offline.
Common Use Cases
- Generate invoices: Design your invoice in HTML and convert it to a professional PDF.
- Save web pages: Archive web articles as PDFs for offline reading.
- Create reports: Build data-rich HTML reports and output them as shareable PDFs.
- Print-ready letters: Format a business letter in HTML and export to PDF.

HTML vs Word vs PDF
HTML is the most flexible format for designing documents (full CSS control), Word requires Microsoft software to edit, and PDF is the universal format for sharing final documents. HTML-to-PDF gives you the design power of HTML with the sharing convenience of PDF.
FAQ
Can I include images in my HTML PDF?
Yes — use Base64-encoded inline images or public URLs. Local file paths (file://) won't work in browser-based converters.
Does it support CSS styling?
Yes. Inline style attributes and <style> blocks are fully supported. External CSS files linked via <link> may not load in all converters.
