A .MHT or .MHTML file holds a whole web page: text, pictures and style sheets in a single MIME container. Internet Explorer popularized it. Word still writes it and Chrome still offers it as 'Webpage, Single File'. SoftOrbits MHTML to PDF Converter unpacks the container, rebuilds the page and writes a PDF you can open on any machine.

How to download and use the MHTML to PDF Converter

Add your archives.
1

Add your archives

Download MHTML to PDF Converter and drag your .MHT or .MHTML files into the window for batch conversion. The file dialog filters for web archives and brings your directory in as one flat list.

Pick the output format.
2

Pick the output format

Choose PDF or TXT in the format box. PDF keeps the saved page's layout. TXT keeps just the words, ready for a search index or a language model.

Decide about merging.

Decide about merging

In the Output box, tick Combine all pages into one PDF for a single document and type a name into Combined file name. Leave the box clear for one file per archive.

Set the folder and start.

Set the folder and start

Choose any output folder and press Start. For a merged batch, the status line reads Combining pages into one file.

Why move a web archive into PDF

Archives you cannot upload.

Archives you cannot upload

Support tickets, discovery exports and internal correspondence cannot go into an online service. The program opens your archive from disk and renders it offline, without sending it anywhere. We refuse references outside the archive and replace them with a transparent pixel, so a stranger's .MHT cannot pull a document from your drive into the output. Tests probed that escape route nine ways, from parent-directory walking to junction points and UNC shares. All nine were refused. Once the PDFs are made, run them through a PDF metadata cleaner before they leave the building.

575 pages should not cost 575 clicks

One forum user had a software manual saved as 575 pages and called converting them individually too tedious to be reasonable. The workaround was to print every archive and stitch the pile together with a second app. With MHTML to PDF Converter Software, you press Start to process the entire list in one pass, saving an hour of Save As dialogs.

Archives that outlived their browsers

Firefox never handled MHTML natively, and the add-ons that filled the gap stopped working at version 57. A PDF has no such dependency. Convert your archives and you can open them on a machine without MHTML support, this year and in ten years. For a single small file you can also convert it in your browser first.

Three dialects, one parser

Chrome packs a .MHT saved under 'Webpage, Single File' differently from Internet Explorer or the old Edge. Word produces a third variant. The parser reads all three dialects without asking you which one you have. The extensions .MHT and .MHTML name the same container; the program reads both.

Combine a batch into one PDF

With Combine all pages into one PDF ticked and the result named, your whole directory becomes a single document in reading order. Merging applies to PDF. Choose TXT with the box still ticked and the program warns you before starting, then writes one file per page. If a page fails, the run continues through the rest and reports the failure count.

Modern CSS survives the trip

Your pages keep their columns with CSS Grid, Flexbox, custom properties and calc(). Sticky positioning holds too. All three Grid and Flexbox samples in the corpus produced readable PDFs.

Recover readable parts of damaged archives

For a truncated file or a broken MIME boundary, the parser raises a warning and extracts the intact parts to build your PDF. All three damaged samples in the test corpus produced partial results without crashing the program.

Inline frames come along

The program extracts an iframe's embedded document and style sheets together with the parent page. Your archived thread or report appears in the PDF where the frame belongs.

Heavy files and Cyrillic text

MHTML to PDF Converter reads a 93 MB archive as a stream, keeping memory use down by loading it in parts. Cyrillic survives in body text, file names and paths, including on volumes where 8dot3 name creation is switched off.

Who needs MHTML to PDF Converter Tool

Owners of an old archive directory

You have hundreds of pages saved over the years in Internet Explorer or through a browser plug-in nobody ships any more.

Legal, support and compliance desks

You receive a .MHT from a ticket system or discovery export, but the case file is PDF. A reviewer needs to read it three years from now without installing anything.

IT and system administrators

A ticket arrives because a file will not open, and your policy bars the add-on that would fix it. A print loop in PowerShell is the usual next idea, but it drops embedded images. Convert the directory once and hand out PDFs. You'll need Windows for this job; there is no Mac build.

Frequently Asked Questions

MHTML stores an entire web page's text, pictures and style sheets in one MIME container, much as an email carries attachments. The format was documented as RFC 2557 in 1999. The extensions .MHT and .MHTML are interchangeable.

Chrome and Edge still display MHTML archives. Few other current browsers or devices accept the format. Re-saving an archive in Edge gives you another .MHT, and renaming it by hand breaks the links to its packed resources. A PDF opens in any reader.

Four steps in one window: download the program, drag in your archives, pick PDF in the format box and press Start. There is no wizard or upload step. Demo mode gives you three exports a day to try on your own archives.

Yes. MHTML to PDF Converter Software opens your archive from disk and renders it on the same computer, offline. It never fetches the live page. An archive you saved in 2011 converts as it was saved back then, dead links and all.

Yes. We tested five archives from Chrome, three from Internet Explorer and two from Word. One of the two Word files had a defect: the PNG fallback Word writes for VML drawings can overlap the text. We expect archives from other generators to work, but we have not tested them.

Browser printing handles one open, live page at a time. With saved pages, modern layouts often print with missing pictures or blank sheets, and you have to open every file by hand. MHTML to PDF Converter Software reads the container and puts its packed contents into your PDF. Expect differences from Chrome's rendering; we do not aim for a pixel-for-pixel match.

Yes. Point the file dialog at your folder, select every archive and convert them in one go. Use the switch in the Output box for a single document instead of one output per page.

Damaged archives produce a warning and a partial result from the readable parts. The largest capture tested was 93 MB. All 24 documents in the test corpus, across 9 categories, converted; that sample does not guarantee success with every file. A .MHT behind a path longer than about 260 characters may fail to open, and the error message will not identify the path length as the cause.
