Pro Tips & Best Practices

Expert advice from Our Web-to-PDF Engineers

Include All CSS Inline or in <style> Tags

quality

For best results, include all your CSS styles within <style> tags in the HTML head or use inline styles. External CSS files may not load correctly.

Use Print Media Queries

quality

Add @media print CSS rules to optimize your content specifically for PDF output. This helps control page breaks and hide unnecessary elements.

Optimize Images Before Conversion

performance

Use compressed images (WebP or optimized JPG/PNG) to reduce PDF file size while maintaining quality. Large images will increase conversion time.

Test with Different Page Sizes

workflow

If your content doesn't fit well, try different page sizes (A4, Letter, A3) and orientations (portrait/landscape) to find the best layout.

Set Appropriate Screen Width

quality

The screen width setting controls how the web page is rendered. Use 1920px for desktop layouts, 768px for tablet views, or 320px for mobile-first designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert password-protected or login-required pages?

No, our converter can only access publicly available web pages. For pages behind authentication, copy the HTML source code and use the 'Paste HTML' option instead.

Will my CSS styles and formatting be preserved?

Yes! Our converter renders the full HTML with CSS, including flexbox, grid layouts, custom fonts, and modern CSS features. Inline styles and <style> tags work best.

What's the maximum HTML size I can convert?

You can convert HTML up to 5MB in size. For URL conversions, the page size limit is 10MB. Larger pages may take longer to process.

Can I convert HTML with JavaScript?

Basic JavaScript will execute during rendering, but complex interactive features may not work as expected. For best results, use static HTML and CSS.

How do I control page breaks in my PDF?

Use CSS page-break properties: page-break-before, page-break-after, or page-break-inside. Add these to your HTML styles to control where pages split.

Why does my PDF look different from the web page?

PDFs have fixed dimensions while web pages are fluid. Adjust the screen width setting to match your desired viewport, and use print media queries (@media print) for PDF-specific styling.
