How to Convert HTML to PDF on ToolHQ

Converting HTML to PDF takes three steps:

**Step 1:** Go to toolhq.app/tools/html-to-pdf.

**Step 2:** Upload your HTML file or paste HTML code directly.

**Step 3:** Click 'Convert to PDF' and download.

External CSS and images referenced in the HTML are processed if accessible. For best results, use inline CSS or include a <style> block in the HTML file.

HTML to PDF Use Cases

**Invoice generation:** HTML invoice templates converted to PDF for sending to clients. Many billing systems generate HTML that needs PDF output.

**Report generation:** Web application dashboards and reports exported as PDF for sharing outside the app.

**Web page archiving:** Preserve web content as PDF for offline access and long-term archiving.

**Email template preview:** Convert HTML email templates to PDF for client approval previews.

**Documentation:** Convert HTML documentation to PDF for offline distribution.

**Certificate generation:** Event certificates, course completion certificates built as HTML and converted to PDF.

CSS and Styling Considerations

For accurate HTML to PDF conversion:

**Use print-friendly CSS:** Add a @media print CSS block to hide navigation, ads, and non-printable elements.

**Inline critical CSS:** External stylesheets may not load during conversion. Inline important styles or include a <style> block.

**Avoid JavaScript-rendered content:** Content rendered by JavaScript may not appear in the PDF. Use server-side rendering for content that must appear.

**Specify page breaks:** Use CSS `page-break-before: always` or `break-before: page` to control where page breaks occur in the output PDF.
