How to do it

  1. 1

    Add your file

    Add the PDF you want as HTML — a report going on a website, an article you are republishing, a manual for an intranet.

  2. 2

    Set it up the way you want

    Choose a complete page or a fragment, and whether each PDF page gets its own section in the markup.

  3. 3

    Download the result

    Download the HTML. Headings are real headings, lists are real lists, and the text reflows to any screen.

Questions about PDF to HTML

Does it look like the PDF?
No, and that is the point. Converters that reproduce the look wrap every line in an absolutely-positioned div: it matches on a desktop screen and then cannot reflow, breaks on a phone, and reads as nonsense to a screen reader. What you get here is the document’s structure, which is what HTML is for.
What happened to my images?
They are not carried over — this tool takes the text and its structure. If you need the pictures, run Extract images and place the ones you want yourself. That is deliberate: silently dropping them without saying so is how people discover a missing figure after publishing.
Are the headings right?
They are inferred from font size, and the tool tells you how many it found. PDF has no notion of a heading — only "draw this text at this size" — so anything else would be a guess presented as fact. If the count looks wrong, turn heading detection off and the text comes out as plain paragraphs.
