How to convert the page you're on to PDF

Alongside file conversion, the extension converts the web page you're currently looking at. Click the icon, choose "This Page", pick paper size, and convert. Because it works on the rendered tab, pages you're signed into convert normally.

Takes about 1 min

Steps

  1. Open the page

    Scroll to load anything that appears as you scroll — the conversion captures what's loaded.

  2. Click the extension icon and choose "This Page"

    Rather than Upload Files.

  3. Pick paper size and orientation

    A4, Letter, Legal or Tabloid, portrait or landscape.

  4. Convert

    The PDF downloads immediately.

Worth knowing

  • If you convert web pages often and want element removal, Article Mode, single-page export or lazy-image loading, Convert: Web to PDF is the tool built for that job. This is the straightforward version.
  • Chrome's own internal pages can't be converted — Chrome blocks extensions from reading them.

Questions

How is this different from Convert: Web to PDF?

This converts the current tab with paper size and orientation options. Convert: Web to PDF is the dedicated web-page tool and adds Article Mode, click-to-remove elements, lazy-image pre-loading, single-page export, and margin and scale control. If web pages are your main use case, use that one.
