From PDF pages to HTML

PDF pages flow through the PDF to HTML API and return as fixed-layout HTML.

Use a file or a URL

Upload a PDF, send its binary data, or provide its URL. PDFCrowd converts the selected pages into HTML that represents the PDF's text, images, and page layout. Choose embedded resources for a self-contained HTML file or separate resources packaged in a ZIP.

PDF layouts contain fonts, images, and precisely positioned content. PDFCrowd handles their conversion so your application can display the HTML without installing and maintaining a local PDF-to-HTML converter.

Control the HTML output

Pages and scale

Select pages and adjust the scale of the output.

Resources

Embed images, CSS, and fonts, or return separate files in a ZIP; select the supported extracted-image format.

Presentation

Add custom CSS and adjust documented font-processing options.
