Save a website as a PDF, step by step

1

Install the extension

Add Save Website as PDF in the Chrome Web Store. Pinning it to Chrome’s toolbar makes it faster to reach.

2

Open the webpage

Navigate to the article, receipt, reference, research page, or other webpage you want to keep in Chrome.

3

Pick the right view

Use Full Page View for the full webpage, or Article View when you want the main readable content.

4

Generate and download the PDF

Create the PDF from the extension and save it where you keep your files.

Which capture view should you use?

Full Page View

Keep the webpage layout

Best when the page design, sections, and full-page context matter.

Article View

Focus on readable content

Best when you want the main article content in a cleaner, more focused PDF.

Good to know: browser-internal pages and some restricted or unusually structured sites may not support capture in the same way as ordinary webpages.

Can you save any webpage as a PDF?

Save Website as PDF is made for pages you can open in Chrome. For a clear comparison of the two included views, read Full Page View vs. Article View.
