You download a ZIP \u2014 unzip it and open the HTML file in any browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The way it works: each page gets rendered as an image, then wrapped in HTML. So visually it&#8217;s basically identical to the original PDF. But the text isn&#8217;t real text \u2014 it&#8217;s part of the image, so you can&#8217;t select or copy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need selectable, searchable text in your HTML, that requires a different kind of extraction and reflow. This tool focuses on visual fidelity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When you&#8217;d actually use this<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Web display \u2014 got a PDF you want to show on a website? Embedded PDF viewers are clunky. Convert to HTML and use it as a real page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Content migration \u2014 old materials only exist as PDF. You want them on your site or in your CMS. Convert first, then edit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Editing PDF content \u2014 PDFs aren&#8217;t editable. HTML is. Convert and tweak to your heart&#8217;s content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offline archiving \u2014 PDFs need a reader and take up space. HTML opens anywhere, on anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which render scale to pick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Normal (1x) \u2014 smaller file, faster loading, fine for reading. Gets blurry if you zoom in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High (1.5x) \u2014 the default. Good balance of clarity and file size. Recommended for most cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maximum (2x) \u2014 sharpest output, biggest file. Use when you need to print or display on a large screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Privacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Same as every PDFNeo tool \u2014 everything runs locally in your browser. Your PDF never gets uploaded. Close the tab and it&#8217;s gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pdfneo.net\/pdf-to-html.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/pdfneo.net\/pdf-to-html.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PDFNeo PDF to HTML<\/a>, upload your PDF, set options, convert, download the ZIP.
