Paste a URL or HTML to render it as a PDF. This is the one AllDays feature that uses a server-side renderer, so it needs the optional backend enabled.
This tool needs a server — and isn't switched on
Unlike the 58 browser tools here, this one genuinely can't run in your browser. Office-format conversion, PDF encryption, and deep image compression need software that only exists server-side.
How it works
- Rendered by headless Chromium on the server, so it supports modern CSS, flexbox, grid, and web fonts — the output matches what a browser actually shows.
- Pages behind a login won't render (the server isn't signed in as you).
- This tool uploads your file to a server — unlike every browser-based tool here. This conversion requires server-side processing and is not currently available on AllDays.Tools. When it becomes available, this page will explain exactly how files are handled. But if that tradeoff matters to you, use the client-side tools instead, where the file provably never leaves your device.
The story behind it
Why HTML and PDF solve different problems
HTML was designed for flexible, linked documents whose layout can adapt to a screen. PDF was designed to preserve a page-oriented presentation. Converting between them means translating a flowing web layout into fixed pages.
Printing helped connect the two worlds
Browsers developed print styles because a layout optimized for a screen is not automatically suitable for paper. HTML-to-PDF conversion builds on the same challenge: deciding where flexible content becomes pages.
