Question 1

Is it free & secure to convert HTML files online to PDF?

Accepted Answer

Yes. iLovePDF processes your files exclusively encrypted (HTTPS/SSL). Furthermore, the service is completely free to use. No registration is required, there are no hidden costs and PDFs are created without watermarks. For more information, see here: ilovepdf.com/en/help/security

Question 2

Are my files saved after upload or automatically deleted?

Accepted Answer

All files you upload are protected throughout the entire processing. They are used solely for creating your desired output file (e.g., PDF file), and all data is always transmitted encrypted.

If you do not delete them manually, the system automatically and permanently deletes your files after at most 2 hours. Third-party access is therefore excluded. There is no permanent storage. More information is available here: ilovepdf.com/en/help/legal

Question 3

Why does the layout sometimes change during HTML to PDF export?

Accepted Answer

HTML is based on responsive web design, whereas PDF is a static target format. Therefore, fonts, spacing, and CSS rules have to be partly re-rendered. iLovePDF optimizes rendering to keep structure, typography, and proportions as faithful to the original as possible. Complex web layouts (e.g., dynamic content, animations) are automatically simplified to keep the PDF stable.

Question 4

Does the tool support all fonts, images, and CSS elements?

Accepted Answer

Most standard fonts and common CSS properties are properly preserved. Very rare fonts or web fonts may be replaced by system fonts to maintain stable display. Images, tables, forms, and responsive blocks are rendered, while interactive content automatically converts into static PDF elements.

Question 5

Which URLs can I convert into a PDF at all?

Accepted Answer

All public URLs accessible without login work. Protected areas (e.g., internal dashboards, private cloud folders, email inboxes, paywall areas) cannot be converted as iLovePDF has no access. Pages heavily depending on JavaScript and client-side rendering can be exported in a simplified form.

Question 6

Does the HTML conversion work on mobile, tablet, Mac, or PC?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use the Mobile App on your phone for free at ilovepdf.com/en/mobile (iOS / Android). The tool also works directly in the web browser on your phone and tablet.

Another option is to convert your documents offline , meaning not via the online service but locally on your device. This option is available for Mac and Windows: ilovepdf.com/en/desktop You can also download the iLovePDF app from the Microsoft Store.

Question 7

Can I merge multiple URLs into a single PDF?

Accepted Answer

Not directly in the tool. But you can convert each URL individually into a PDF and then combine all into one document using “Merge PDF.” The order can be freely adjusted, and pages can be deleted or rearranged.

Question 8

Why can’t the tool convert some websites?

Accepted Answer

If the page:
– requires login,
– has anti-bot/scraping protection active,
– loads content only after user interaction,
– uses blocking scripts, iLovePDF cannot fully render it technically. However, many standard websites work without issues.

Question 9

How large can a website be, and how do I keep the PDF file compact?

Accepted Answer

There is no fixed limit on the length of a website. iLovePDF renders everything accessible under the URL. Very extensive pages may generate a larger PDF. To keep the PDF size small, you can optimize the finished document immediately after conversion using “Compress PDF.” Premium allows stronger compression and faster processing.

Large quantities of HTML pages can be converted to PDFs automatically via the API. See also: iloveapi.com/docs/pdf-guides/html-pdf-api
