Convert PRN to HTML

Understanding PRN and HTML file formats

PRN files are printer output files that contain raw print data, often generated by selecting the 'Print to File' option in print dialogs. These files can include text, graphics, and printer control codes, and are typically intended for direct printing rather than viewing or editing.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) files are standard web documents used to display content in web browsers. HTML files structure text, images, and other resources for online presentation and interaction.

Why convert PRN to HTML?

Converting a PRN file to HTML allows you to view and share the print output in any web browser, making it more accessible and easier to distribute or archive online.

How to convert PRN to HTML

Since PRN files can contain a mix of text and printer commands, the conversion process may vary depending on the PRN file's content. If your PRN file is primarily text-based, conversion is straightforward. For complex PRN files with graphics or special formatting, specialized tools are recommended.
