PHP to PDF Converter

About PHP to PDF

Sharing PHP source code as a clean, printable PDF is useful for code reviews, programming assignments, archive snapshots, and developer handoffs. FixMyPDF's PHP to PDF converter renders any .php file with full syntax highlighting, line numbers, and a monospaced font — so every PHP tag, namespace, and method call shows up exactly as you wrote it.

The highlighter recognizes the entire PHP language: namespaces, traits, attributes (PHP 8+), enums, arrow functions, nullable types, match expressions, and inline HTML / blade-style templates. It works for plain PHP files, framework controllers (Laravel, Symfony, WordPress plugins), and standalone scripts.

No install or sign-up needed; works in any modern browser. Your source file is rendered locally and never uploaded, which matters when the file contains database credentials or API keys. The output PDF has no watermark.

Frequently asked questions

Will my PHP file's mixed HTML and PHP highlight correctly?

Yes — the highlighter handles mixed content. PHP code blocks (<?php ... ?>) are colored as PHP, while inline HTML is colored as HTML.

Does the converter execute the PHP code?

No. The code is never executed anywhere — not on our servers, and not in your browser. It is treated purely as text and rendered with syntax highlighting, so there is no way for the file to run.

Does it support modern PHP 8 syntax?

Yes. Attributes, enums, readonly properties, match expressions, named arguments, and union types are all highlighted correctly.

What's the file size limit?

None that we set. Conversion runs on your own machine, so the only constraint is available memory.

Is the output watermark-free?

Yes — clean PDF output, no watermarks, no sign-up required.
