What is Pug to HTML Converter?
Pug (formerly Jade) is a template engine that uses indentation instead of closing tags. This Pug to HTML converter compiles your template into clean, properly indented HTML entirely in the browser. It supports tags, ids, classes, attributes, block expansion, piped text, comments, and doctype declarations, and keeps server-side interpolation expressions untouched.
Key Benefits
- Convert Pug templates to HTML without installing Node.js or build tools
- Indentation-aware compiler produces correctly nested, readable output
- Choose 2-space, 4-space, or tab indentation to match your code style
- Clear error messages instead of silently broken HTML
- 100% client-side and offline — nothing leaves your browser
Common Use Cases
- •Migrating a legacy Pug or Jade codebase to plain HTML templates
- •Email templates or static pages prototyped in Pug that need HTML delivery
- •Learning Pug syntax by seeing the exact HTML each line produces
- •Handing HTML to designers or stakeholders who do not read Pug
- •Quickly flattening a small Pug partial into a CMS page or component
How to Use Pug to HTML Converter
- Paste your Pug template: Type or paste your Pug source into the input box, or click Sample to load a full example covering doctype, head, body, navigation, and cards.
- Pick output indentation: Choose 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tab from the indent selector to match your project style.
- Review the compiled HTML: The HTML appears instantly below. If the compiler hits unsupported syntax it shows a clear error message instead of broken output.
- Copy or download: Click Copy to send the HTML to your clipboard, or Download to save it as an .html file.
Key Features
- Indentation-aware compiler produces correctly nested, readable HTML
- Shorthand syntax: div.card#main, multiple attribute groups, boolean attributes
- Block expansion (li: a), piped text, visible and silent comments, doctype
- Inline tag interpolation in text while template expressions stay untouched
- Choose 2-space, 4-space, or tab output indentation to match your code style
- One-click copy and .html download — works offline, no server needed
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pug (formerly Jade)?
Pug is a template engine for Node.js that uses indentation instead of closing tags. Jade was its original name before a trademark rename in 2015. This tool compiles the common static subset of Pug syntax to HTML entirely in your browser — no Node.js required.
Does the tool support includes, extends, or mixins?
No. Those features require file resolution and runtime evaluation, which cannot run in a static browser tool. The converter focuses on the template syntax itself: tags, attributes, block expansion, comments, doctype, piped text, and block text.
Are interpolated expressions like variable placeholders compiled?
No. Placeholder expressions are kept exactly as written in the output HTML, because there is no data context to evaluate them against. The tool is designed for converting static templates. Inline tag interpolation with bracket-hash syntax is supported.
Is my template code sent to a server?
Never. The compiler is plain JavaScript running on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored, so it is safe to paste proprietary or private templates.
