Why this converter

Built on the Same Engine as the Orshot API

Real CSS, Not a Guess

Renders with the same engine that powers Orshot's API, so positioned layouts, custom fonts, gradients, and shadows come through accurately instead of getting flattened by a simplified HTML parser.

From a URL, Too

Don't have the HTML handy? Paste a page URL and we'll fetch it for you, then convert it the same way.

Runs Sandboxed, Client-Side

Pasted or uploaded HTML never touches our servers. It renders and converts entirely in your browser, inside a script-free sandbox. (Fetching a URL is the exception: it has to pass through our server briefly to get around browser CORS limits, but it's never stored.)

Becomes a Real Template

One click turns the same HTML into an editable Orshot template, so you can keep the layout, swap in new data, and render it again via API anytime.

For developers

One-Off Conversion is Free. Reusable Templates Scale.

Converting one file by hand is fine for a one-off. If you’re generating PDFs from the same template repeatedly, like invoices, reports, or certificates, import the HTML once and render it via API with new data every time.

Re-converting HTML each time
  • ✕ Re-template the HTML string for every record
  • ✕ Maintain your own headless-Chrome render pipeline
  • ✕ No visual editor, so every tweak is a code change
Recommended

Questions

Frequently asked.

Can’t find what you’re after? Email us, we usually reply the same day.

Is this HTML to PDF converter really free?

Yes. Paste or upload your HTML, or a URL, and download the PDF. No sign-up, no credit card, no limit on conversions. Conversion runs entirely in your browser.

Can I convert raw HTML code, not just a saved file?

Yes. Paste any HTML code straight into the box above, from a single styled <div> to a full document. There's no need to save it as a file first. The converter renders the code exactly as written and gives you a PDF in seconds.

What HTML works best?

Structured, absolutely or relatively positioned layouts (the kind you'd design for a card, certificate, invoice, or social graphic) convert most faithfully. Long-form pages with responsive flexbox or grid layouts will still convert, just with less precise pagination.

Is the PDF text selectable, or an image?

The free instant download is a high-resolution rasterized image embedded in the PDF. It's fast and looks exactly like what you see, but the text isn't selectable. If you need a true text-layer PDF rendered server-side from the same design, import it as an Orshot template and render it via the API.

Do you store the HTML I paste or upload?

No. Pasted or uploaded HTML never leaves your browser during conversion. Fetching a URL is the one exception, since that page has to pass through our server briefly to get around browser CORS restrictions, but we don't store it. If you choose "Edit as Template," the HTML is sent to your account so it can be saved as an editable template.

Can I automate HTML to PDF conversion via API?

Yes. Import your HTML once as an Orshot template (it's free and takes seconds), then call the render API with new data anytime, using the Node.js, Python, Ruby, or PHP SDKs, or plain REST. See the example below.

Will JavaScript in my HTML run?

No. The free converter renders your HTML and CSS in a script-free sandbox for safety, which works well for most static designs like certificates, cards, and invoices. If your page depends on JavaScript to draw its content, import it as a template instead. Orshot's API renderer executes the full page.
