Extension for Google Chrome
Save the open tab as a PDF
Download Webpage as PDF turns the page you are reading into a PDF file in one click. Chrome’s own print engine makes it on your computer, so text usually stays selectable, and links can stay clickable, depending on the page.
-
One click
Open the extension and press Download PDF. The file is named after the page title.
-
Real text and links
Chrome prints text, not a picture: you can usually search and copy it. Links can stay clickable, depending on the page and Chrome.
-
Your paper and margins
Auto, A4, Letter or Legal; portrait or landscape; default, narrow or no margins; background on or off; date, title and page numbers.
-
No upload for conversion
The PDF is made on your computer. The extension does not send the page anywhere. No account, no analytics.
Good to know
- At install, Chrome warns that the extension can access the page debugger backend. While a PDF is being made, Chrome shows a bar saying that debugging has started. The extension uses this access only to print the tab you choose.
- The PDF looks the way Chrome prints the page. Some sites have their own print styles, so the result can differ from the screen.
- Before printing, the extension tries to load pictures that appear only as you scroll. Some pages may still leave content out.
- It saves the current tab only: no batch saving, no whole websites, no editing or merging of PDFs. Chrome’s own pages, such as settings or the Chrome Web Store, cannot be saved.
