How to use Convert: Web to PDF

15 short guides, one per feature. Each is the actual procedure — where the setting lives, what it does, and where it stops working.

  1. How to convert a webpage to PDF

    The basic flow: open the page, click the icon, pick paper size, convert. Takes 3–10 seconds on most pages.

  2. How to save just the article, without the page around it

    Article Mode strips navigation, sidebars, ads and comments, leaving the headline, byline, body text and inline images.

  3. How to convert just one part of a page to PDF

    Capture Element lets you click a single chart, table, card or post and convert only that, with text still selectable.

  4. How to remove ads and clutter before converting

    Click any element — an ad, a cookie banner, a chat widget — to delete it before the PDF is made. Undo is built in.

  5. How to stop a sticky header repeating on every PDF page

    Sticky navigation bars and cookie banners get drawn onto every page of the PDF. One toggle removes them.

  6. How to make sure every image appears in the PDF

    Lazy-loaded images you never scrolled past are blank in the PDF. Load All Images pre-fetches them first.

  7. How to save a page as one long PDF page instead of A4 sheets

    Single Page Mode outputs one continuous page as tall as the content — no page breaks cutting through tables or messages.

  8. How to change paper size and orientation

    A3, A4, A5, Letter, Legal, Tabloid and Ledger, in portrait or landscape. Pick by what the content is shaped like.

  9. How to set margins and scale

    Four margin sliders in inches, plus a scale control. The two levers for fitting content the way you want it.

  10. How to add the page URL and page numbers to a PDF

    Turn on headers and footers to stamp the page title, source URL and page number onto every page.

  11. How to convert with a keyboard shortcut

    Ctrl+Shift+P converts the current page; Ctrl+Shift+S fires Article Mode and downloads immediately. Both are rebindable.

  12. How to convert from the right-click menu

    Right-click a page to convert it, or right-click a link to convert the linked page without opening it.

  13. How to rename PDFs and save them to a subfolder

    Edit the filename in the preview tab, and set a default subfolder so PDFs don't pile up in Downloads.

  14. How to save a page you're signed into as PDF

    Account dashboards, invoices, internal wikis and webmail all convert normally, because the work happens in your tab.

  15. How to stop a table splitting across PDF pages

    Four levers change where page breaks land: orientation, paper size, scale, and Single Page Mode.
