Does this upload my HTML to a server?

No. The HTML is rendered locally inside a sandboxed iframe in your browser, and the PDF is produced by your browser's own print engine. Nothing is sent anywhere.

How is the PDF actually generated?

The tool calls window.print() on the rendered content. In the print dialog you choose 'Save as PDF' (or 'Microsoft Print to PDF' on Windows) as the destination, and the browser writes the PDF for you.

Will my CSS and images be included?

Inline CSS and styles inside style tags are applied. Images referenced by absolute https URLs load if your network allows them; relative paths and external stylesheets that depend on a base URL may not resolve since the content is rendered standalone.

Why is the preview in a sandboxed iframe?

The iframe uses the sandbox attribute so the pasted HTML cannot run scripts or navigate your page. This keeps the tool safe even if you paste untrusted markup.

Can I control page size and margins?

Those are set in the browser's print dialog (paper size, margins, scale, headers/footers). The tool adds a print-friendly base stylesheet, but the final layout options come from that dialog.

HTML to PDF Converter (Local Print)

Turn HTML into a PDF, locally

Sometimes you just need a quick PDF of an HTML email, an invoice template, or a snippet of formatted content — without installing anything or trusting an upload service. This tool renders your pasted HTML in a sandboxed iframe and then uses the browser’s own print-to-PDF engine to save it. The rendering and the PDF generation both happen on your machine.

How it works

Your HTML is written into an iframe that has the sandbox attribute set (scripts disabled, no navigation), so even untrusted markup renders safely. A small print-friendly base stylesheet is injected so text wraps sensibly and default margins are reasonable. When you click Save as PDF, the tool calls window.print() scoped to the preview frame; your browser opens its native print dialog where you select “Save as PDF” as the destination. The browser’s layout engine — the same one that draws web pages — produces the PDF, so the output matches the preview.

Tips and notes

Use absolute https:// URLs for images so they resolve when the content is rendered on its own.
Put all styling inline or in a <style> block; external stylesheet links may not load because the content has no base URL.
Page size, margins and whether browser headers/footers appear are controlled in the print dialog, not in the HTML — set them there before saving.
For pixel-perfect, repeatable output (page breaks, running headers) consider CSS @media print rules and the page-break-inside: avoid property in your markup.
