Frequently asked questions
- What HTML is supported?
- Self-contained HTML with inline styles or embedded <style> CSS. The browser lays it out and it's split into A4 pages. External images, fonts, and stylesheets can't be loaded — embed images as data: URLs.
- Can I convert a live web page by URL?
- No. Fetching another site's page in the browser is blocked for security and privacy, so this tool works from HTML you paste in. Copy a page's source or export its HTML, then paste it here.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The HTML is rendered and converted entirely on your device — nothing is sent to a server.
HTML into a shareable PDF
Sometimes you have a chunk of HTML — an invoice template, an email, a report, a snippet of formatted content — and you need it as a PDF. HTML to PDF renders your markup the way a browser would, then paginates it into A4 pages and packages it as a downloadable PDF, all locally.
Self-contained, private, and free
Because everything runs in your browser, your content never leaves your device — handy for drafts and internal documents. Style your HTML with inline CSS or an embedded <style> block; the layout you see in a browser is what you get in the PDF.
Notes and limits
This is a client-side renderer, so fidelity is good for self-contained HTML but limited compared with a full print engine: external images, web fonts, and remote stylesheets aren't loaded, and some advanced CSS may not render. For pixel-perfect conversion of a complex live site, a print-to-PDF from the browser may work better. To convert a vector graphic instead, use SVG to PDF.
How the rendering works
The pasted HTML is loaded into an isolated iframe in your browser, which lays it out using the same rendering engine that shows you any other web page — the CSS box model, flexbox, tables, and text wrapping all behave the way they would in a normal tab. Once layout settles, HivePDF measures the content height and slices it into A4-sized pages, breaking at natural boundaries where possible so content isn't cut mid-line.
Typical uses
This is a good fit for things you generate or template yourself: an invoice built from a JavaScript template, a formatted email you want to archive, a report assembled from a script's output, or documentation exported from a static-site generator. It's not meant for capturing a live, JavaScript-heavy web app — anything that depends on network requests, external scripts, or a login session won't run inside the isolated renderer.
Building a multi-part document
Convert each section separately and use Merge PDF to combine them into one file, or pair this with Text to PDF when part of your content is plain text rather than HTML.
