Readable XML, without pretending it is a template engine.
This tool parses XML as structured document content. It does not infer a custom invoice, report, or branded layout from your tags.
Two source modes
Formatted mode indents element-only XML while preserving mixed content and xml:space="preserve". Original mode keeps the source text.
Print controls
Choose A4, US Letter, or US Legal, portrait or landscape, 8–18 pt type, three margin presets, and optional page numbers.
Safe XML scope
External resources, DTDs, and XSLT are not used. XML must be well-formed and self-contained.
Known limits
Paste up to 500000 characters or import one UTF-8 .xml file up to 1 MiB. The hourly limit is 50 conversions.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert XML to PDF for free?
Paste well-formed XML or import one UTF-8 .xml file, choose the display and page settings, and select Convert XML to PDF. The searchable PDF downloads without signup or a watermark.
What does formatted mode change?
It indents element-only XML for readability. Mixed content is preserved rather than rearranged, and xml:space="preserve" is respected. Original mode keeps the source text as supplied.
Can this create a custom invoice or report layout?
No. XML tags are rendered as document content; they are not treated as instructions for a custom invoice, table, or branded report layout. This free tool does not run XSLT.
Are DTDs, XSLT, or external resources supported?
No. DTDs, XSLT, network requests, external stylesheets, and other external resources are not used. Keep the XML self-contained.
Is my XML stored after conversion?
No. The contents are sent over HTTPS to the renderer for the live request, then the PDF is returned. This tool does not save your input or output files. See the privacy policy for general site practices.
Does it work on phones and desktop computers?
Yes. Use a modern browser on a phone, tablet, Mac, Windows, or Linux computer. JavaScript improves file import and download behavior, while the native form remains available.
Need a custom PDF layout?
Use the HTML-to-PDF API when your workflow needs templates, richer layouts, or repeatable server-side conversion.
