Convert a PDF to HTML
Get a web page that reads on a phone — real headings, paragraphs, lists and tables, not a frozen picture of each page.
Convert a PDF to HTML online, free
A PDF fixes every line at a position on a page, which is why it is so tiring to read on a phone: you zoom, you scroll sideways, you lose your place. PDF to HTML rebuilds the document as a web page instead. Headings become headings, paragraphs are rejoined across line breaks, columns and page breaks, words split by a hyphen at the end of a line are put back together, bulleted and numbered lists become lists, aligned columns become tables, and links stay clickable. Running headers and page numbers are removed, images are kept, and charts drawn as vectors are rendered as sharp images. The result is a single .html file with its pictures inside, ready to publish, to paste into a CMS or to read anywhere. Everything happens in your browser: the PDF is never uploaded. A scanned PDF has no text to rebuild — run it through OCR first. Mathematical formulas come out as plain text, and a magazine-style layout may need a few touch-ups. One free document a day with no account.
