How to Convert HTML or a Web Page to PDF (Free)

You want to keep a web page — an invoice, a booking confirmation, an article — as a permanent file that won't change or disappear when the site does. Converting HTML to PDF gives you exactly that.

How to convert — step by step

Save any web page as a PDF

Every browser has a built-in way to convert web pages to PDF, and for a quick one-off it's genuinely fine:

1. Open the page you want to save.
2. Press Ctrl+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+P (Mac).
3. In the print dialog, set the destination to Save as PDF.
4. Click Save.

Instant, offline, and it works on any site — including pages behind your login, because the browser prints exactly what you're seeing.

But print-to-PDF has real limitations once you're past the one-off:

• Pagination breaks. The browser slices the page wherever the paper size dictates — headings get orphaned at the bottom of a page, images and tables get cut in half mid-element.
• Ads and clutter come along. Unless the site ships a print stylesheet, you get the cookie banner, sidebar and ads baked into your "archive" copy.
• Sticky headers repeat. Fixed navigation bars can stamp themselves across every single page of the output.
• Inconsistent output. Margins, scale and paper size drift between browsers and machines — bad when you're archiving many pages and want them uniform.

The HTML to PDF tool renders the page in a clean environment instead: consistent size and margins every time, sensible page breaks, clickable links preserved — and it takes a pasted URL or an .html file from disk, so you don't need the page open at all. Use Ctrl+P for the quick grab; use the tool when the output needs to look clean or you're converting web into PDF in batches.

Frequently asked questions

Will it capture the whole page, not just the visible part?

Yes — the full page is rendered, not just the screen. Long pages become multi-page PDFs.

Do links still work?

Yes — clickable links in the page are preserved as clickable links in the PDF.

What about pages behind a login?

A public-URL tool can't see content behind your login. For those, use your browser's Save as PDF while logged in.

Will it look exactly like the website?

Very close. Some sites use print-specific styles, so the PDF may drop sticky headers or ads — usually an improvement for archiving.

Can I convert a whole website, or just one page?

One page per conversion. The tool renders a single URL (or a single .html file) into one PDF — it doesn't crawl links to other pages. If you need a handful of pages from the same site, convert each URL separately and then combine the results with Merge into one document. For archiving an entire site (hundreds of pages), a dedicated crawler is the right instrument — page-by-page conversion is meant for the invoice, the article, the confirmation page.

Can I convert Markdown instead?

Yes — use Markdown to PDF.

Is it free?

Yes, up to 20 MB output on the free plan.
