How to convert Html to Emf

How to Convert an Html File to an Emf Image

Sheetize offers a high‑performance API that transforms an HTML document (.html) into an EMF (Enhanced Metafile) vector image. This is ideal for embedding web‑page snapshots into Windows‑based reports, CAD drawings, or print‑ready documents while preserving vector quality and scalability.

Why Use Sheetize for Html‑to‑Emf Conversion?

  • Vector fidelity – EMF stores drawing commands, so the image scales without pixelation.
  • Windows‑native – EMF integrates seamlessly with Office, Visio, and other Microsoft tools.
  • No Office required – conversion runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux without needing a browser engine installed.
  • Styling control – customize page size, background color, and DPI directly via conversion options.

Getting Started

Add the Sheetize.ImageConverter NuGet package to your .NET project and invoke the ImageConverter.Process method.

Sample C# Code 

using Sheetize;

var loadOptions = new LoadOptions
{
// Path to the source HTML file
InputFile = @\"C:\\\\Docs\\\\ProductPage.html\"
};

var saveOptions = new ImageSaveOptions
{
OutputFile = @\"C:\\\\Images\\\\ProductPage.emf\";

HorizontalResolution = 300,
VerticalResolution = 300,
};

ImageConverter.Process(loadOptions, saveOptions);

The code loads ProductPage.html and writes ProductPage.emf using a 300 DPI rendering for high‑resolution print output.

Key Options for EMF Output

  • HorizontalResolution / VerticalResolution – control the canvas DPI; higher values yield finer line detail.
  • BackgroundColor – fill the page background (EMF does not support true transparency).
  • PageWidth / PageHeight – specify the logical size of the output (in inches or millimeters).
  • EmbedFonts – set to true to embed used fonts within the EMF file for reliable rendering on other machines.

Best Practices

  1. Use 300 DPI or higher for print‑ready graphics; 96 DPI is sufficient for on‑screen previews.
  2. Define explicit page dimensions (e.g., 8.5 × 11 in) to avoid unexpected cropping.
  3. Embed fonts if the HTML references custom typefaces that may not be installed on the target system.
  4. Validate the EMF by opening it in PowerPoint, Word, or a vector editor to ensure all elements render correctly.
  5. Optimize HTML – remove unnecessary scripts or external resources before conversion to speed up processing.

By following these steps, you can reliably turn any HTML page into a crisp EMF vector image suitable for Windows‑centric documentation, presentations, or printable assets.
