## Turn HTML markup into a PDF by pasting it in

Developers testing an email template, writers checking a page snippet, and anyone handed raw HTML face the same problem: they need to see it as a finished document. HTML to PDF takes markup you paste in and renders it as a PDF page, so you can review layout or hand someone a static copy.

You paste your HTML directly into the tool rather than uploading a file, and the page renders at a standard A4 size with normal margins. Images and basic styling come through as they would in a browser, though elaborate CSS or anything relying on interaction will not behave the same on a printed page. Links inside your markup, such as embedded images, are fetched safely rather than pulled from arbitrary or private network locations.

Because the input is arbitrary markup, always check the resulting PDF before sending it anywhere important; small differences in fonts or spacing are normal.

### What this tool is for

- Reviewing how a snippet of markup looks once laid out on a page.
- Turning a quick HTML draft into something you can print or attach to an email.
- Sharing a static copy of markup with someone who cannot render it themselves.
- Checking an email template before it goes out.

If you already have a finished PDF and want archival metadata instead, look at PDF to PDF/A.
