How to use the web converter

4 short guides. No install and no sign-up — plus an honest account of where this tool stops and the extension takes over.

  1. How to convert a web page to PDF from its URL

    Paste a link, click convert, download. No install, no sign-up — with real limits worth knowing first.

  2. How to convert pasted HTML or Markdown to PDF

    Paste markup straight in and convert it. No rate limit, and nothing touches a server at all.

  3. How to convert an uploaded file to PDF in the browser

    Upload an .html, .mhtml, .md or .txt file and convert it without installing anything.

  4. When to use the extension instead of the web tool

    The web tool is for quick one-offs on any device. Four situations need the extension.
