How it works

Clicking Generate PDF opens your browser’s print dialog — choose “Save as PDF” as the destination. The output has selectable, searchable text (not a screenshot).

Note: external images and custom fonts may not appear if blocked by browser security. They display in the preview.

About This Tool

Real PDFs from HTML — not screenshots

Most free converters flatten your page into an image and wrap it in a PDF. This one uses your browser’s print engine, so the PDF keeps selectable, searchable text, real fonts, and clean pagination.

Need an image instead of a document? Use the HTML to image converter, or compress the PDF after exporting.
