How to turn a webpage into a PDF

Enter a web address and get back a PDF laid out for print, with the page's styling kept. It needs a free account, because it runs in advanced server mode.

Updated . Tested step by step on this tool.

Webpage to PDF turns a public web address into a PDF, so you can save an article, a receipt page or a piece of documentation exactly as it read on a given day, without it changing or disappearing later.

What you need

  • A free ToolsToHelp.Me account. Webpage to PDF always uses advanced server mode, which is included with a free account.
  • The address of a public webpage. Pages that need you to sign in will not convert correctly, since the tool opens them as a visitor with no account.

Why this needs a free account

Opening a live webpage and laying it out for print is a server job, not something a browser can safely do to another site on your behalf. Webpage to PDF uses advanced server mode for that reason, and it comes with a free account, alongside the rest of ToolsToHelp.Me under one sign-in.

Tips for a clean result

  • Use the page's own print view if it has one. Many sites offer a "print" or "reader" version that converts more cleanly than the full page with its navigation and ads.
  • Try landscape for wide content, such as a table-heavy page or a page designed for a wide screen.
  • Keep the PDF small enough to attach. If it converts larger than expected, run it through Compress PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to turn a webpage into a PDF?

Yes. Webpage to PDF always runs in advanced server mode, which is included with a free account.

Can it convert a page that needs me to sign in?

No. The tool opens the address as a visitor with no account, so a page behind a sign-in, such as your email or a private dashboard, will not convert correctly.

What page sizes and orientations can I choose?

A4, US Letter or Legal, in portrait or landscape. Pick whichever best fits the page's own layout, wide pages usually work better in landscape.

Will the PDF look exactly like the webpage?

The tool opens the page and lays it out for print, keeping its styling. Interactive elements such as video players, and content that only loads after you scroll or click, may not appear the same way they do in a browser.

How much does it cost?

An advanced run costs 2 credits, covered by your free daily credits or your account's daily credits.
