Browser vs tool

For a single page you're viewing right now, your browser's Print → Save as PDF is instant and offline — use it. The dedicated tool is better when you want:

  • Consistent output across many pages (same size/margins every time).
  • A URL you're not currently viewing (paste and go).
  • An .html file sitting on your disk.

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.

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 Markdown instead?

Yes — use Markdown to PDF.

Is it free?

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