What is a website to PDF converter?
A website to PDF converter turns any public web page into a PDF file from just its link. This free tool lets you paste up to 25 addresses, choose the paper size, orientation, margins, zoom and page range, pick Screen view or Print version, and download each PDF or all of them in one ZIP. There is no extension to install. Pages behind a login and private network addresses cannot be converted.
Saving a page with your browser’s print dialog works for one page at a time, but the result depends on your own screen, your browser settings and any pop-ups that happen to be open. A converter loads each page in a clean, remote browser and returns a consistent file, which is much easier when you have a list of pages to archive, send or file.
This tool is for marketers, SEO specialists, researchers, students, lawyers, accountants and business owners who need a reliable PDF copy of an article, a product page, a policy, a competitor’s landing page or a set of pages for a report. If you only need a picture of a page instead, try the Website Screenshot Generator.
How to save a web page as a PDF from a link
- Paste one or more website addresses. Enter a web address such as example.com. For a batch, put one address per line or separate them with commas. You can convert up to 25 pages at a time.
- Choose the paper format and orientation. Pick A4, Letter, Legal, Tabloid or a custom size in millimetres, then choose portrait or landscape.
- Pick how the PDF should look. Screen view keeps the colors, backgrounds and layout you see in a browser. Print version uses the page’s print styles and usually removes navigation and other extras.
- Adjust margins, zoom and page range. Choose a margin, set a zoom scale if you want more or less on each sheet, and enter a page range such as 1-3 if you only need part of a long page.
- Press Convert to PDF. The tool converts each address in turn and shows progress. Failed addresses are skipped, and the list shows which ones worked and why others did not.
- Download your PDFs. Download each file on its own, or download all successful files in one ZIP.
The first conversion of a page can take several seconds because a real browser must load it, wait for it to settle and then produce the file. Repeating a conversion with the cache on is much faster.
Paper sizes explained
| Format | Size | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| A4 | 210 × 297 mm | The standard in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Europe, India and most of the world. |
| Letter | 8.5 × 11 in | The standard in the United States and Canada. |
| Legal | 8.5 × 14 in | Longer legal-style documents in the United States. |
| Tabloid | 11 × 17 in | Large layouts, posters and wide tables. |
| Custom | Your width and height in mm | Matching a specific template, slide or print job. |
Screen view or Print version?
| Screen view | Print version | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | The page as it looks on a screen | The page as the site’s print stylesheet shows it |
| Colors and backgrounds | Kept | Often removed to save ink |
| Menus, ads and banners | Usually kept | Usually removed |
| Best for | Design reviews, landing pages, proofs, competitor snapshots | Articles, policies, receipts and reading copies |
If one looks wrong, try the other. Some sites have an excellent print version, and others have none, in which case Print version looks much like Screen view.
Margins, zoom, orientation and page range
Orientation
Portrait suits articles and documents. Landscape suits wide tables, dashboards and pages with side-by-side columns.
Margins
Choose None for the maximum content area, Narrow or Normal for everyday documents, or Wide for a more formal look with space for notes.
Zoom scale
The scale controls how large the page appears on each sheet. Below 1 fits more content per page and reduces the total page count. Above 1 enlarges text for readability. Values between 0.8 and 1.2 cover most needs.
Page range
Enter the first and last page you want, for example 1 and 3. Leave both empty to include everything. In a batch, the same range is used for every address.
Wait for full load
Some pages finish drawing images and content only after the main load. Turning this on gives the page extra time, which helps with slow or image-heavy sites.
Block ads and banners and Use cache
Block ads and banners asks the conversion service to block third-party ads, trackers and many cookie pop-ups. Use cache returns a recent copy instantly instead of converting again. Turn the cache off when you have just changed a page.
Converting many pages at once
Paste up to 25 addresses and the tool converts them one by one, showing the status of each: waiting, converting, done or failed. If one address fails, the rest continue. When the batch ends you can download each PDF separately or press Download all as ZIP to get every successful file in a single archive. Your batch results stay in the page only while it is open, so download what you need before you leave.
Common uses for website PDFs
Archiving and compliance
Keep a dated copy of a terms page, privacy policy, price list or announcement as it appeared on the day you needed it.
SEO and content audits
Convert a set of key pages for a content audit or a before-and-after comparison, and share them with a client who prefers a single document.

Save articles, studies and documentation for offline reading, highlighting and annotation on a tablet or e-reader.
Reports and proposals
Attach PDFs of competitor pages, case studies or reference material to reports and proposals.
Legal and finance records

What this tool can and cannot convert
| Situation | Works? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Public web pages | Yes | Any page reachable by a logged-out visitor. |
| Long articles | Yes | They are split across as many pages as needed, or limited by your page range. |
| Pages behind a login | No | Dashboards, private profiles and paywalled content are not accessible. |
| localhost and private networks | No | Addresses such as 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.x.x are not reachable. |
| Sites that block automated browsers | Sometimes | They may return an error or an empty page. |
| Pages that load content slowly | Sometimes | Turn on Wait for full load and the cache off. |
| Direct links to files (for example an existing PDF) | Not needed | Open or download those links directly. |
Tips for better PDFs
- Start with A4 and Print version for articles. It gives the cleanest reading copy.
- Use Screen view for design and marketing pages. It preserves colors and backgrounds.
- Try landscape for wide tables. It avoids cramped columns.
- Lower the zoom for long pages. A scale around 0.8 reduces the page count.
- Turn the cache off after edits. Otherwise you may get the previous version.
- Respect copyright. Save and share third-party pages only where you have the right to.
Privacy and how it works
When you press Convert to PDF, your browser sends each web address and your chosen settings to a conversion service. The service opens the page in a remote browser, creates the PDF and returns a link to it. MyMidlist does not store your addresses or your PDFs. Because the addresses leave your browser, avoid entering links that contain passwords, access tokens or personal details.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Try this |
|---|---|
| Daily limit message | Wait and try again later, or convert fewer pages. Recently converted pages may load from the cache. |
| The PDF is blank | Check the address in a normal browser, turn on Wait for full load and try again with the cache off. |
| Menus and pop-ups fill the page | Switch to Print version and make sure Block ads and banners is on. |
| Colors and backgrounds are missing | Choose Screen view instead of Print version. |
| Text is too small or too large | Change the zoom scale or the paper size. |
| A download opens in a new tab | Use the browser’s save button in the new tab, or right-click the link and choose Save link as. |
| An address is rejected | Use a full public address such as example.com or https://example.com/page. |
Frequently asked questions
What is a website to PDF converter?
A website to PDF converter opens a web page in a remote browser and saves it as a PDF file. You only need the page address, so there is nothing to install and no browser extension to add.
How do I save a web page as a PDF from its link?
Paste the link into the tool, choose a paper size and orientation, and press Convert to PDF. When the conversion finishes, press Download to save the file. You can also convert several links in one go.
Can I convert several websites to PDF at once?
Yes. Paste up to 25 addresses, one per line or separated by commas. They are converted one after another with live progress, and the successful files can be downloaded individually or as a single ZIP.
Is this website to PDF tool free?
Yes, it is free with no account to create and no software to install. The PDFs are produced by a third-party conversion service that applies its own daily fair-use limit to free usage.
Why did I see a daily limit message?
The conversion service allows a small number of free conversions per day. When it is reached the rest of your batch is skipped. Try again later, or convert fewer pages. Recently converted pages may come back instantly from the cache.
What is the difference between Screen view and Print version?
Screen view keeps the page as you see it on screen, including colors, backgrounds and layout. Print version uses the website’s print stylesheet, which usually removes menus, ads and other extras for a cleaner document.
Which paper size should I choose?
Use A4 for most of the world, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Europe. Use Letter or Legal for the United States and Canada. Tabloid suits large layouts, and Custom lets you set an exact width and height in millimetres.
What does the zoom scale do?
A scale below 1 shrinks the page so more fits on each sheet. A scale above 1 enlarges it. For example 0.8 makes text smaller and reduces the number of pages, while 1.2 makes it larger.
Can I convert only some pages of a long web page?
Yes. Enter a first and last page, such as 1 and 3, in the page range fields. Leave them empty to include every page. The same range applies to every address in the batch.
Can I convert pages that need a login?
No. The converter opens pages as a logged-out visitor would see them, so it cannot capture dashboards, private profiles, invoices or anything behind a sign-in. It also cannot reach localhost or private network addresses.
Why is my PDF missing images or sections?
Some pages load content only after a delay or while scrolling. Turn on Wait for full load, turn the cache off, and try again. If a site blocks automated browsers it may still return an empty or partial page.
Is it safe to enter my links here?
The addresses you enter are sent to the conversion service so it can open each page. Do not enter links that contain passwords, tokens or personal details. MyMidlist does not store your addresses or the PDFs produced, and the batch history only lives in your own browser.
Will the PDF contain selectable text and working links?
Pages are converted as real documents rather than pictures, so text is usually selectable and searchable and links are usually preserved. Exact results depend on how the original page is built.
What if the PDF looks different from the website?
Websites often look different in print and on screen. Try the other appearance setting, change the paper size, or adjust the zoom scale. Pages built for scrolling can break across pages at awkward places.
