Is PDF to HTML private?

Everything runs locally in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to StackPDF servers.

Do I need an account to use PDF to HTML?

No. StackPDF is free to use without signing up or creating an account.

Does PDF to HTML work offline?

After the page and libraries load, processing happens on your device. A connection is only needed to load the app the first time.

Does this preserve layout and images?

No. PDF to HTML rebuilds a clean reading stream: headings from larger fonts, paragraphs from line gaps, and simple bullet/numbered lists. Multi-column layouts are flattened and images are not exported.

What is “Bare” style?

Bare exports only the body markup (no / shell or CSS) so you can paste it into an existing page or CMS. Readable and Compact produce complete standalone HTML documents.

Is PDF to HTML free without file limits?

Yes. Unlimited local conversions, no account, no upload paywall — export as many text PDFs as you need.

Can I copy HTML instead of downloading?

Yes. Preview rendered output or source, then download or copy HTML into your editor or CMS.

What browser PDF conversion can and cannot do

StackPDF rebuilds Word, Excel, and HTML from text heuristics, and HTML to PDF via screenshots. That is enough for notes. It is not iLovePDF for designed files.
