PDF to HTML

PDF to HTML pulls the embedded text out of a PDF file and packages it as a downloadable .html page, right in your browser. No signup, no upload — the file is read and converted entirely on your device.

How to use it

1. Upload a PDF file.
2. Optionally enter a page range (like 1-3,5) — leave it blank to extract every page.
3. Toggle page headings on or off — on turns each page boundary into an <h2>Page N</h2> heading in the output, useful for finding where something came from in a long document.
4. Press Convert to HTML, then download extracted.html.

Why convert PDF to HTML in the browser?

Most online PDF-to-HTML tools upload your document to a server to convert it. This one does the whole job locally using pdf.js, the same rendering engine behind Firefox's built-in PDF viewer, so contracts, notes and anything else private never leave your device.

Does this preserve the PDF's visual layout, columns or images?

No — pdf.js's text extraction pulls out plain text in reading order, not a visual layout, and images aren't extracted at all. Each line becomes its own paragraph in a clean, minimally-styled HTML document rather than a pixel-accurate re-layout of the original page — a readable starting point, the same ceiling any text-based PDF-to-HTML conversion has.

Does this work on scanned PDFs?

Only if the PDF already has a text layer (most scanners and "Print to PDF" tools produce one automatically). A pure image scan with no embedded text has nothing for this tool to extract — if a file comes back empty, try Scanned PDF Converter, which runs OCR to build a text layer first.

Your file is processed entirely on your device and is never uploaded.
