Good for: browser-readable archives, starting points for web content, single-file document sharing.

Frequently asked questions
Will the HTML be responsive?
Not necessarily. This conversion prioritizes approximating the PDF page rather than rebuilding a responsive site design.
Are image files separate?
No. With images enabled, they are included as data URIs inside the one HTML file.
Does HTML preserve PDF forms?
Do not expect interactive PDF forms to become functional HTML forms; inspect the output before publishing.
What is the free file size limit?
Guests can upload files up to 25 MB each. A free account raises the limit to 50 MB per file, and Premium allows 500 MB per file with larger batches.
Are uploaded documents private?
Files are encrypted in transit and automatically deleted after a short time following processing.
