Quickly convert any webpage into a PDF on Windows, Mac, or iOS and Android devices using nothing but the built-in features of your favourite web browser.

Ever come across a webpage you want to access offline? Can’t copy-paste the content or find a download button? Whether it’s a detailed study or an interesting blog post, saving it as a PDF is your best bet.

In the PDF format, the content can easily be accessed, saved, and, with the content in a digital document format, viewed and worked with offline.

In this guide, we’ll show you the quickest ways to save a webpage as PDF using the different browsers below:

  • Google Chrome
  • Safari
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Firefox
  • Opera
  • Chrome on Android devices
  • Safari on iOS devices

To start, open the webpage you want to save into a PDF file and then follow the steps for your browser below. Let’s get to it!
