Click the icon
Click the Article to PDF icon on any webpage. Choose Quick save PDF to save without a preview, or Preview & edit to check and edit the article first.
Article to PDF strips away ads, navigation, and clutter — leaving you with a beautifully formatted, searchable PDF. Works entirely in your browser. No account needed.
You hit Ctrl+P and get 12 pages of ads, navigation menus, cookie banners, and broken formatting. The article you actually wanted is buried somewhere on page three.
You shouldn't need to screenshot, crop, and stitch together a readable document in 2026.
Simple workflow

Why Article to PDF
The extension automatically extracts only the article content. No manual selection, no fiddling with print settings.
Select text, Ctrl+F to search, click links. Your PDF is a proper document — not a stitched-together image.
CSS print rules keep images, tables, code blocks, and headings intact across page boundaries.
Everything runs in your browser. Paywalled articles, internal docs, authenticated pages — if you can see it, you can save it.
Your articles and PDFs are never uploaded. No account, no tracking. Pro licenses are stored in your browser and verified with our payment provider.
A4 or Letter, portrait or landscape. With Pro, save the whole article as one long page with no page breaks at all.
Use cases

Finally save recipes without the life story, pop-up ads, and auto-playing videos. Just the ingredients and steps.

FAQ
New users get five full PDFs to try everything, including Quick Save and One long page — no card needed. After that, Free keeps Preview & edit, A4/Letter and portrait/landscape, and saves the complete PDF when the article fits on one page — which covers most recipes, short blog posts, and quick references. For longer articles (research papers, in-depth reports, multi-section tutorials), Free saves the first page. Pro saves the complete article, no matter how long, and adds Quick Save and One long page.
Choose the Yearly plan and try Pro for 3 days at no cost. You'll need to enter payment details at checkout — if you don't cancel within 3 days, you'll be charged $19.99 for the year. Cancel anytime through the billing portal (sign in with your purchase email).
Article processing runs in your browser. Your articles and PDFs are never uploaded. No account, no tracking. If you use a Pro license, we store it in your browser and verify it with our payment provider. Optional feedback is always your choice.
Yes. The extension processes whatever is loaded in your browser tab. If you're logged in and can see the content, Article to PDF can extract and save it. Unlike server-based alternatives, we don't need to re-fetch the page.
Yes — it is the same extension, published on Microsoft Edge Add-ons as well as the Chrome Web Store. Open this page in Edge and the install button points at the Edge listing; you can also pick either store yourself from the arrow beside the button. Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and other Chromium browsers install from the Chrome Web Store. Firefox and Safari are not supported.
Chrome's built-in print captures everything on the page — ads, navigation, cookie banners, sidebars. Article to PDF extracts only the article content, formats it for clean reading, and applies smart page break rules so images and tables are never cut in half.
Any site with readable article content — news sites, blogs, documentation, recipes, research papers, forums. The extraction engine is the same one that powers Firefox's built-in Reader View. It won't work on pages that are entirely dynamic (single-page apps with no article content) or empty pages.
Yes. If Pro isn't for you, email support@article-to-pdf.com within 14 days of purchase for a full refund, no questions asked. This applies to every plan, including Lifetime.
No. If you installed Article to PDF before paid plans arrived (version 1.2.6 or earlier) and updated, you keep complimentary full access as an early user. It has no scheduled end, but it isn't promised to be permanent: if we ever introduce limits, you'll get at least 30 days' notice inside the extension first. If you lose access, for example after reinstalling, email support@article-to-pdf.com and support can restore it. You can still buy Pro to support development; it adds no features while you have early-user access.
