About this tool
Designed for the moment you need a document changed quickly and privately. Export a self-contained HTML file with a positioned, selectable text layer. Processing runs locally in your browser's memory — the document is never transmitted, and closing the tab clears it completely. The workflow is deliberately short: load the file, choose the options on the page, run the operation, and save the result. Every choice is applied before the file is written, so re-running with different settings takes seconds. Practical limits apply (see the on-page limits); it pairs well with the related tools linked beside this page when one step is not the whole job. Key facts — Processing: runs entirely in your browser, client-side; Access: free with no account required; File limits: see the on-page limits; Privacy: the file never leaves the device.

FAQ
Will my file be uploaded?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your file is never uploaded.
Are there any limits?
CSS and interactivity are not reconstructed.
Does the conversion keep the original layout?
Text is positioned absolutely based on original coordinates, preserving visual readability while remaining selectable and searchable, though advanced vector artwork, backgrounds, and CSS styles from the PDF are not reconstructed.
Can I process multiple files in bulk?
A single tool page handles one task at a time; for bulk work use the Batch Processing workflow and add this tool as a step to run a whole set at once.
Is the processed file still editable?
The output is a self-contained single HTML file that can be opened and edited using any code editor, text editor, or web development tool.
