A web page out of a PDF
The text of a text-based PDF is extracted with PDF.js, grouped into reading-order lines, and wrapped in a minimal HTML skeleton: larger-than-body lines become <h1>/<h2>/<h3>, everything else becomes paragraphs. The output is deliberately plain — semantic text markup with a title, no styling noise, ready to drop into a CMS, a template or a modernization project.
What conversion means here, honestly
A PDF page is paint instructions, not a document tree — so any PDF-to-HTML tool is reconstructing, not translating. This one reconstructs the words in order and the heading structure by font size. It does not attempt to rebuild multi-column magazine layouts, tables as grids, or embedded images (there is no honest way to reflow those automatically). For reports, papers, letters and other linear documents the output matches what you see; for designed layouts expect the text in the right order and nothing more.
Scans are the hard boundary
If the PDF is a stack of photographed pages, there is no text layer and the result is empty — with a clear message saying so, rather than a page full of nothing. That job belongs to OCR.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything on this page runs inside your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never leaves your device — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool still works.
Does it convert scanned PDFs?
No — a scanned PDF has no text layer, and the tool tells you so instead of producing an empty page. Scans need OCR first.
What about images and layout?
Text and heading structure only. Embedded images, complex layouts and tables are not reconstructed — the output is the document's words in clean semantic HTML.
Can I edit the output?
Yes — it is a plain .html file with no dependencies. Open it anywhere, or paste the body into your CMS.
