PDF to HTML Converter

Putting a PDF on a web page, in an email or into a content system usually means turning it into HTML. This converter offers the two kinds people need. Reflowed HTML rebuilds headings, paragraphs, lists and pictures as clean, responsive text that reads well on phones and can be edited. Exact layout keeps every page looking like the PDF, as a picture with invisible but selectable text over it. Either way you get one self-contained .html file, made in your browser.

How to use this tool

1. Choose the PDF.
2. Pick Reflowed for readable, editable text, or Exact layout for a faithful copy of each page.
3. For reflowed HTML choose whether to include pictures, mark page starts and remove page numbers; for exact layout pick the image quality.
4. Download the .html file and open it in any browser.

Formula

Reflowed: text pieces on the same baseline form lines, lines form paragraphs (a new one starts at a size change, a large gap, an indent, a list marker or a short line ending a sentence), and paragraphs at least 15% larger than the body text become headings. Exact layout: each text piece is positioned at its PDF coordinates × 96 ÷ 72 and stretched to its original width.

Pictures and page images are embedded as data URLs, so the single .html file works offline and can be moved anywhere. Links in the PDF stay clickable in exact-layout mode.

Example

A 4-page newsletter with two photos converts in reflowed mode to one HTML file of about 150 KB: its title becomes an h1, the section titles h2, the bullet lists real lists and the photos sit between the paragraphs. In exact layout at 120 dpi the same file is roughly 600 KB, but every page looks exactly like the PDF.
