Join millions of users who rely on PrintFriendly to print web pages, convert any webpage to PDF, or take full-page screenshots — all without ads, sidebars, or clutter. It works like a reader mode, but gives you more control: adjust text size, remove images, edit text, highlight key content, and customize your layout before printing or saving. PrintFriendly is perfect for teachers, students, researchers, and anyone who needs clean, printable, shareable content. Print articles, save recipes as PDFs, archive research, and capture pages from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Reddit, Gmail, Substack, and more. Convert Web Pages to PDF Turn any webpage into a clean, professional PDF without ads, headers, or navigation. Preserve text, images, and links with full support for non-Latin characters and right-to-left languages. Adjust margins, choose between A4 and Letter page sizes, and download with one click. Listen: Read Any Article Aloud Tap Listen and PrintFriendly reads the cleaned-up article aloud, highlighting each sentence as it goes. Pick a voice, set the reading speed, skip by sentence, or tap any paragraph to start from there. Text to speech that reads the article itself, not the menus and cookie banners around it. Free, with no new permissions. Full Page Screenshot & Screen Capture Capture a full page screenshot or a visible-area screenshot of any webpage with one click. Full page screen capture scrolls the whole page for you, so you get all of it, not just what fits on screen. Works on sites with iframes, dynamic content, and complex layouts. Export as PNG, JPG, or PDF, or turn a capture into a PDF whose text you can select and search. Ideal for archiving web pages, saving visual records, or sharing content exactly as it appears. Log into the extension to sync your account with printfriendly.com, where you can also convert, compress, edit, merge, and sign PDFs. Upload PDF, DOCX, XLSX, JPG, and other file types for conversion. Your settings and preferences sync between the extension and website. Save to Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, or Notion Send the finished PDF straight to where you already keep things instead of fishing it out of your Downloads folder. Dropbox and OneDrive files land in a PrintFriendly folder, and that folder is all PrintFriendly can see. In Drive it only ever sees the files it creates. For Notion, pick the page or database each PDF goes into, from the pages you have shared with PrintFriendly. Set a default once and every save after that is one click. Print Web Pages Without Clutter Remove ads, pop-ups, navigation bars, and footers to create clean printouts of any webpage. Use Delete mode to remove entire sections or click and drag to remove multiple blocks at once. Use Highlight to emphasize important content, or switch to Edit mode to modify text directly on the page. Great for printing ChatGPT conversations, Gemini responses, and online articles. Edit, Delete & Highlight Before You Save Make changes directly on the page before printing or saving as PDF. Modify text, adjust font size, remove images, delete unwanted sections, and highlight important information. All editing tools work in full-screen mode with undo support. AI Page Summaries Generate AI-powered summaries of any web page directly inside PrintFriendly. Quickly understand long articles, research papers, or complex content without reading every word. Works Everywhere PrintFriendly is compatible with a wide range of websites including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Gmail, Reddit, Substack, YouTube, and thousands more. It also works on local files from your computer. Upgrade your printing, PDF conversion, and screenshot experience today with PrintFriendly.
