About URL to PDF

URL to PDF fetches a public web page in a bundled headless Chromium and prints it to PDF. The page is rendered with full CSS fidelity — flexbox, grid, web fonts, shadows, JavaScript-driven DOM — so the output matches what you would see in a desktop browser.

Useful for archiving articles, exporting documentation, snapshotting a dashboard for a status report, or producing offline copies of public references. Page size (A4, Letter, Legal, A3, A5) and orientation are configurable per request.

How it works

  1. 1

    Paste a full http(s) URL into the field.

  2. 2

    Choose page size and orientation (defaults A4 portrait).

  3. 3

    Click Convert — the page is fetched and printed to PDF in headless Chromium.

  4. 4

    Preview inline, then download.

When to use it

  • Archive an online article or blog post as a PDF for offline reading.
  • Snapshot a public dashboard for a weekly status report.
  • Export a documentation page from a public wiki.
  • Save a public form, policy, or reference page for compliance records.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to the questions people most often ask about URL to PDF. Read the one that matches your situation — they're written to be skimmed.

1Can I convert pages behind a login?
No — only publicly accessible URLs are supported. The headless browser does not carry your cookies, and there is no UI to pass credentials.
2Are private network URLs (localhost, 10.x, 192.168.x) allowed?
No. Loopback, RFC1918 private ranges, IPv6 link-local, and cloud-metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254) are blocked at the API layer to prevent server-side request forgery.
3What protocols are supported?
Only http:// and https://. file://, ftp://, data:, and javascript: URLs are rejected.
4How long does it take?
A typical news article is 5–10 seconds. Heavy pages with many web fonts and trackers can take 20–30 seconds while the network settles.
5Is JavaScript executed?
Yes. The page is loaded into real Chromium, so JS-rendered content (React, Vue, etc.) renders before the PDF is captured.
