HTML Converter – Convert HTML in Python

Use the HTML Converter guides when the source is an HTML file, HTML string, document, or URL. Aspose.HTML for Python via .NET converts HTML to PDF, XPS, DOCX, JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, GIF, TXT, MHTML, and Markdown.

Most HTML conversion workflows use an HTMLDocument, save options for the target format, and one of the Converter.convert_html() methods. The format-specific guides below show how to convert HTML with default settings and how to customize the output.

How HTML Conversion Works

1. Load HTML into an HTMLDocument, or provide a supported file path, HTML string, or URL directly to a convert_html() overload.
2. Create save options for the target format, such as PdfSaveOptions, ImageSaveOptions, DocSaveOptions, XpsSaveOptions, TextSaveOptions, MHTMLSaveOptions, or MarkdownSaveOptions.
3. Call Converter.convert_html() with the source, save options, and output path.

The following example demonstrates the common conversion pattern by converting an HTML file to PDF with default save options:

# Convert HTML to PDF in Python

import aspose.html.converters as conv
import aspose.html.saving as sav

# Convert HTML to PDF
conv.Converter.convert_html("document.html", sav.PdfSaveOptions(), "output.pdf")

For page setup, image settings, PDF options, and resource-related considerations, open the relevant conversion guide or the Fine-Tuning section.
