How to convert an uploaded file to PDF in the browser
The converter accepts file uploads as well as URLs and pasted markup. Supported extensions are .html, .htm, .mhtml, .md, .markdown and .txt. It's the quickest route when you have a saved page or a Markdown file and you're on a machine where you can't install an extension.
Takes about 1 min

Worth knowing
- The file is processed in your browser, not uploaded for server-side conversion.
- Output is image-based, so text isn't selectable.
- JavaScript in an uploaded HTML file doesn't run, so a page whose content loads dynamically will come out mostly empty.
- For images, CSV, JSON and XML — and for real text PDFs — Convert: Anything to PDF handles a much wider set of formats locally.
Questions
