23 Jul 20261 minute to read

The HTML to PDF library delivers high-performance APIs to convert web content into PDF documents programmatically. This performance benchmark report highlights the speed and efficiency of HTML-to-PDF conversion, showcasing how the library manages large-scale document rendering in real-world scenarios.

Environment Details

The following system configurations were used for benchmarking:

OS Edition : Windows 11 Enterprise
Version : 22H2
Processor : 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz 2.42 GHz
Installed RAM : 20.0 GB (19.7 GB usable)
System type : 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Example Application

The benchmark details were obtained using the Syncfusion.HtmlToPdfConverter.Net.Windows package. You can refer to the following sample, as well as the input and output files used:

Input HTML files : Input HTML files

Output PDF files : Output document

Results

Input Page count Conversion time (Avg value of 5 conversions) Process Memory and CPU usage
10+ Pages 2.78 seconds Memory usage: 318 MB CPU usage: 10%
100+ pages 3.65 seconds Memory usage: 367 MB CPU usage: 14%
1000+ pages 6.72 seconds Memory usage: 813 MB CPU usage: 27%
10 documents with 100+ pages in a loop 30.52 seconds Memory usage: 663 MB CPU usage: 15%
10 documents with 1000+ pages in a loop 1 minute 10 seconds Memory usage: 2.2 GB CPU usage: 64%

NOTE

The performance metrics were recorded on a freshly configured machine. Speed and memory usage may vary if the machine is running other processes. Additionally, performance can be affected by:

  • External resources loaded in the HTML (such as images, scripts, and styles)
  • Network speed for online URL conversions
  • Hardware resources (CPU and memory)
