HTML to PDF API

Convert HTML files and URLs to PDF fast, securely and accurate.

Try it Out API Documentation

Chrome Based

The CloudConvert HTML to PDF API is based on the latest version of the Chrome browser. This results in the best possible, accurate PDF files. Complex JavaScript? Custom Fonts? No problem!

URLs or HTML files

You can either send us an URL to the website or provide a HTML file. When using an URL as input, it is even possible to provide custom Authorization headers for protected resources.

Wait for Custom Selectors

Sometimes it is necessary to wait for a particular element to appear. Our headless Chrome browser will wait for any custom CSS selector before generating the PDF.

Advanced Options

Customize the PDF page size, page margins, the zoom level and more! We even do support adding custom headers and footers. Check out the API documentation to show all available options.

Async or Sync

By default, the CloudConvert API converts your files asynchronously and we notify you via webhooks when we are done. Depending on your needs there is also a synchronous API to convert files on-the-fly.

Storage Integration

CloudConvert directly fetches the input files from your object storage and then stores the output file at the same place. We are integrated with your existing and trusted storage provider, such as S3, Azure, Google Cloud or many others.

Custom Workflows

Our API uses the concept of Jobs and allows to do multiple operations with one single API call. For example, it is possible to convert the same file to multiple output formats, adding a watermark and creating a thumbnail with one single Job!

Developer Friendly

Our extensive API Documentation helps to get you started quickly. There is a Job Builder which generates ready-to-use request payloads and code snippets for you. We do provide free and timely support, directly from the builders of CloudConvert.
