Why AI Cannot Replace This Tool
Large Language Models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are fundamentally text-based. They cannot render HTML+CSS visually, capture pixel-perfect screenshots, or embed rendered content into PDF binary files. Even multimodal AI models that "see" images cannot execute HTML/CSS rendering engines. This tool runs a real browser-grade rendering pipeline (html2canvas + jsPDF) directly in your browser - the same technology that desktop applications use, but without requiring any installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my HTML code be uploaded to a server?
No. Every byte of processing stays in your browser. Your HTML is rendered in a sandboxed iframe, captured with the html2canvas library, and converted to PDF with jsPDF. No data is ever sent to any server. You can verify this by opening your browser's Developer Tools (F12) and watching the Network tab while converting - there will be no outbound requests containing your HTML content.
What page sizes and orientations are available?
We support A4 (210x297mm), Letter (8.5x11in), Legal (8.5x14in), A3 (297x420mm), A5 (148x210mm), and A6 (105x148mm). All sizes support both portrait and landscape orientation. For most documents, A4 (international) or Letter (US/Canada) in portrait mode is the standard choice.
Can I set custom margins?
Yes. Choose from preset margins: None (0mm), Small (5mm), Medium (10mm), or Large (15mm). You can also select "Custom" and enter any value from 0 to 50mm. The preview updates in real-time to reflect your margin choice.
Is the text in the PDF selectable?
The html2pdf.js library renders your HTML to canvas images and embeds them in the PDF. This ensures pixel-perfect visual fidelity, but text is not directly selectable. For documents where you need selectable, searchable text (such as reports or invoices you intend to email), use your browser's Print dialog (Ctrl+P or Cmd+P) and choose "Save as PDF" as the destination. Our tool is best when visual appearance is the priority.
Does the tool support CSS styles and external images?
Inline styles and style tags are fully supported - the preview and PDF output will reflect all your CSS. External images from URLs that allow cross-origin access (CORS-enabled) are included. For external fonts and other resources that require cross-origin access, they may not render in the PDF. For best results, use standard web-safe fonts and encode images as inline base64 data URIs.
What is the maximum HTML size?
The HTML input can be up to approximately 50,000 characters. For larger documents with complex styling, processing time may increase proportionally. Since all processing is local, there are no server upload limits or daily caps - only your browser's memory availability matters.
Is there a limit on how many PDFs I can generate?
No limits. Unlike services like SmallPDF (2 tasks/day free) or iLovePDF (hourly caps), this tool has zero daily limits, requires no signup, and never asks for payment. Generate as many PDFs as you want - the only cost is your device's processing power.
