About PDF to HTML

PDF to HTML emits a single .html file with inline styles, embedded images, and fully semantic markup. Headings become `<h1>..<h6>`, paragraphs become `<p>`, lists become `<ul>`/`<ol>`, tables become real `<table>` with rowspan + colspan support, hyperlinks stay clickable. Images embed as base64 data URIs so the file works without a sidecar folder — upload it, paste it into a CMS, attach it to email, and it renders the same everywhere.

The converter runs the same extraction + layout + semantic pipeline as the Word converter; only the output writer differs. Every feature shipped to the Word path — running-header filtering, cross-page paragraph merging, soft-hyphen repair, list detection — applies here too. Reading order stays correct even on multi-column source PDFs.

Conversion is 100% local. Styling is intentionally minimal so the output blends into most CMS / email / docs themes without a fight; users who want a custom look can strip the `<style>` block and wire up their own stylesheet.

How it works

When to use PDF to HTML

Publishing a PDF report on your website
No PDF viewer embed needed — users read the content natively in the browser, which is faster, better for SEO, and more mobile-friendly.
Porting a legacy PDF to a CMS
WordPress, Ghost, Webflow, Framer all accept HTML paste-in. Skip the manual retyping.
Attaching readable content to an email
HTML email rendering works better than PDF attachments for mobile readers. The inline styles survive most email clients.

Frequently asked questions

Is the output responsive?
The body is max-width: 780px with auto margins, which looks good on desktop and reflows cleanly on mobile. You can override the inline CSS if you need a different layout.
Do the heading anchors work?
Yes — each heading emits an `id=` attribute derived from its text slug (same as the Word bookmarks). Linking to `#section-title` jumps there.
Can I use the output offline?
Yes. Images are embedded as data URIs and styles are inline. No external dependencies. Open the .html in any browser and it renders identically.
