Can I paste a website URL to convert a live page?

No. This tool converts an HTML file you upload, not a URL you type. To capture a live web page, save it from your browser first (or export it to an HTML file) and upload that. Working from a saved file is also what keeps your private or logged-in pages off our server entirely.

Is the HTML rendered on my device, or uploaded to you?

The HTML is uploaded. Rendering markup faithfully needs a real browser engine, so the file goes to our server, Chromium renders it, and the PDF comes back. The transfer is encrypted and we keep no copy once the job finishes. LittlePDF reserves its on-device promise for its in-browser tools, not for a server conversion like this.

Do my styles and images come through?

Styles and images that are embedded in the file render well. For safety, the server removes scripts and resources linked to external sites before rendering, so a stylesheet, font, or image pulled from another domain by URL will not be fetched. A self-contained file, with CSS in a style block and images inlined, gives the closest match to what you see in a browser.

What is the price, and how large an HTML file can I send?

Each conversion is 3 credits. Free accounts come with 500 credits a day, near 160 conversions, and an upload limit of 25 MB. Pro ($6.99/mo, or $4.99/mo billed annually) lifts the limit to 500 MB.

Does my HTML file stay on the server after rendering?

We keep no copy of the file once the PDF is produced, and nothing about it is reused. On a server conversion the protection is encrypted transit paired with our holding on to nothing, not the never-leaves-your-device guarantee that covers LittlePDF's client-side tools.

HTML to PDF conversion renders an HTML file as a fixed-layout PDF, drawing its text, CSS layout, and embedded images onto fixed pages using a browser engine. It captures the rendered appearance of the markup rather than a live interactive page, which is why scripts and remote resources do not carry over.

Key Facts

LittlePDF HTML to PDF is a server-side conversion: the uploaded .html file is rendered by Chromium (run via Gotenberg), and no copy of it stays on our side.

The tool converts an uploaded HTML file, not a typed URL; to capture a live web page, save it to an HTML file first.

Scripts and externally linked resources are stripped before rendering, so self-contained files with inline CSS and images convert most faithfully. A conversion costs 3 credits; the free plan offers 500 credits daily and a 25 MB limit, and Pro takes files up to 500 MB.

Why HTML to PDF with LittlePDF?

Chromium renders the file, so CSS layout and inline images come out the way a browser would draw them.

Scripts and external resource links are stripped before rendering, which keeps the conversion from reaching out to other sites.

The .html file is sent over an encrypted connection, and we keep no copy of it once the PDF is rendered.

At 3 credits per file drawn from 500 free daily credits, you have headroom for around 160 conversions a day.

Features

Chromium Rendering

The file is rendered by Chromium on our server (via Gotenberg), the same engine browsers use, so CSS layout, fonts, and inline images come through as they would on screen.

Sanitized Before Render

Scripts and externally linked resources are removed before rendering. That trades the ability to pull in remote assets for a conversion that does not call out to other sites on your behalf.

Self-Contained Files Convert Best

Because external links are stripped, an HTML file with its styles in a style block and its images inlined produces the closest match to the original page.
