How to save a web page as PDF

Use your browser's built-in print dialog to save an article, receipt or webpage as a PDF.

Step-by-step guide

Most modern browsers can create a PDF from the current page through Print. Choose Save as PDF as the destination instead of selecting a physical printer.

  1. 1

    Open the page and start printing

    In Chrome or Edge, open the menu and choose Print. Safari and Firefox also offer Print from their File menu.

  2. 2

    Choose Save as PDF

    In the print dialog, select Save as PDF or a PDF destination. Use the preview to choose pages, orientation, margins and backgrounds.

  3. 3

    Save the file

    Choose a filename and location, then save. Open the result to check that the page has been captured as intended.

Save a web page as PDF in Chrome

Open Chrome's three-dot menu and select Print. In Destination, choose Save as PDF, then select Save. The print preview lets you choose pages, paper size, orientation and whether background graphics are included.

If an article has a reader mode or print view, use it first to reduce menus, adverts and other clutter in the PDF.

Save a web page as PDF in Safari, Edge and Firefox

Safari, Microsoft Edge and Firefox each expose a Print command. Look for a PDF or Save as PDF option in the system print dialog, then save a local file rather than sending it to a printer.

A webpage can change after you save it. Keep the PDF as a dated snapshot, and check whether links, videos, expandable sections or loaded-on-scroll content were included.
