Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will the converted HTML display incorrectly in browsers?

Displays normally in mainstream browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari); older browsers (like IE) may have layout deviations. Test in target browsers as needed.

2. What PDF file size can free users convert?

Free users can convert files up to 200MB each, maximum 5 files per session; VIP users support 500MB per file, 20 files per batch with faster conversion speeds.

3. Can the converted HTML be edited?

Yes. Directly modify HTML code using Notepad, VS Code, or other editors to adjust text, images, or styles—suitable for users with basic coding knowledge.

4. Can scanned PDFs be converted to HTML with selectable text?

Yes. First use the "OCR" tool to convert scanned documents to editable text, then convert to HTML. The resulting text will be selectable and copyable.

5. Can the image storage paths in multi-file HTML be modified?

Yes. Manually edit the image paths in the HTML code after conversion (e.g., change "images/xxx.jpg" to "assets/xxx.jpg") to ensure proper image loading.

6. How does the converted HTML file size compare to the original PDF?

Usually smaller. HTML uses text encoding, and images are automatically compressed—file size is typically 50%-80% of the original PDF, with faster loading.

7. Does Micro PDF store HTML content during conversion?

No. All files and conversion results are automatically deleted after processing (download or 24 hours later). The server retains no data, ensuring content security.
