These two pages exist to be converted. Drop this exact HTML into the converter and you get them back as native InDesign: real text frames, named styles, a working table, charts you can restyle, images linked in a Links folder. Nothing flattened. Nothing traced.
Linked, not embedded. This image ships in Links/ beside the .idml, placed with the crop you see here.
What you are reading is absolutely positioned HTML. The engine renders it in a real browser, measures every element’s true geometry, then rebuilds the page as IDML. No estimation, and no PDF in the middle.
This block is set in CSS columns. It arrives in InDesign as one text frame with three real columns, so it reflows the InDesign way when you edit it. The headline above is separate runs in a single frame, and its accent colour arrives as a named swatch.
Fonts come through as family plus style, not outlines. Poppins ExtraBold stays Poppins ExtraBold. If a font is missing on your machine, InDesign tells you so, the honest way.
“Box by box, font by font. Hours and hours. That was the old way.”

Charts are where conversions usually die. This one arrives as ring slices. Sample data; the point is you can grab a slice.
An inline SVG line chart. It lands as editable vector paths, not a screenshot.
Your turn. This file is two pages on purpose.
The first two pages of any file convert free at idmly.com. No account. The engine converts and forgets; nothing is stored.
