See your PDF as a web page.
Upload a PDF and watch it come back as real HTML: headings that are headings, lists that are lists, tables with header cells, and a reading order a screen reader can follow. Compare it with the original side by side, then download the page as a single file.
Free limits: the first 5 pages, 2 documents per day per network address, 10 MB per PDF. Deterministic conversion only, so image descriptions are left for a person to write. Sign up for whole documents, drafted alt text, hosted pages, and the review workspace.

What this tool does, and what it does not
Automated, in seconds
- Structure read from the PDF tag tree when it has one, or inferred from visual layout when it does not.
- Headings, paragraphs, lists, tables with header cells, figures with captions, and links.
- A self-contained HTML file with images inlined, so it opens anywhere with no network access.
Still needs a person
- Image descriptions. Purpose is an authorial judgement, and a guessed description that reads as finished is worse than a stated gap.
- Confirming inferred structure against the original when the source PDF carried no tags.
- Complex tables, uncertain column order, and unreliable scans, which the tool routes to expert remediation rather than guessing at.
A hosted HTML page can be live in minutes because the conversion is automated. A tagged, remediated PDF is a different piece of work and follows later, after a specialist has been through it. Anyone promising both instantly is describing something other than what automation can actually do.
Questions
- How many pages can I convert?
- The first five pages of any PDF, two documents per day per network address. Longer files are not rejected: they are converted up to page five and labelled as a partial preview.
- Is the HTML accessible?
- It is semantic HTML with real headings, lists, tables, and figure captions, which is the foundation accessibility needs. It is not a conformance claim. Automation cannot write image descriptions or confirm that inferred structure matches authorial intent, so the tool lists what still needs a person instead of certifying the result.
- Do you write alt text for my images?
- Not in the free tool. Figures come back with empty alternative text and an open review item. A description invented by a machine and presented as finished is worse than an honest gap, so drafting alt text is part of the reviewed path, not this one.
- What happens to my file?
- The PDF itself is processed in memory and never stored. The converted HTML page is kept for 24 hours so the share link works, then deleted automatically. Shared previews are marked no-index for search engines.
- Why does my PDF need expert remediation?
- Some documents have features automation should not be trusted to reconstruct alone: complex or multi-level tables, uncertain multi-column reading order, unreliable scans, and specialist notation. The tool tells you when it sees one rather than producing a confident-looking result you cannot rely on.
