Saving a PDF is easy. Finding it six months later is the hard part. Pretty PDF's cloud library stores every PDF you generate, organizes them with folders and tags, and indexes the full text so you can search inside your documents. It's a personal archive for everything you save from the web.
Cloud library available on Pro+ ($12/mo). Free tier includes local downloads.
Every PDF you generate is automatically saved to your cloud library. From there, you can organize, search, preview, and share your documents without ever leaving your browser.
Every PDF you generate is automatically saved to your cloud library. No manual uploads, no extra steps. Your documents are available from any device, any browser, as soon as they are created. Storage scales with your plan from 5 GB on Pro to 25 GB on Pro+.
Create nested folders to organize your PDFs however makes sense to you. Drag and drop documents between folders. Create project folders, topic folders, or date-based archives. Your folder structure is entirely up to you.
Add custom tags to any document. Filter your library by one or multiple tags to find exactly what you need. Tags work alongside folders, so you can organize by project in folders and by topic with tags. Use whatever taxonomy fits your workflow.
Search inside the content of every PDF in your library, not just filenames or titles. Find that one statistic, that specific code snippet, or that quote you saved months ago. Results are ranked by relevance with highlighted snippets showing where your search terms appear.
Preview any document directly in your browser without downloading it first. Quickly scan through a PDF to confirm it is the one you need before opening or sharing it. Previews load instantly because the rendering is already done.
Generate shareable links for individual documents or entire folders. Recipients can view and download your shared PDFs without needing a Pretty PDF account. Revoke access at any time. Team plans support shared team folders for collaborative document collections.
Every word in every document, instantly searchable.
When a PDF is generated, the text content is automatically indexed using SQLite FTS5 (full-text search). This happens in the background with no action required on your part. From the moment a document lands in your library, every word inside it is searchable.
You can search for any word or phrase that appears in any saved document. Results are ranked by relevance with highlighted snippets showing the exact context where your search terms appear. This means you can find that one statistic, that specific code snippet, or that quote you saved months ago — even if you do not remember which article it was from.
Search is not limited to document titles or filenames. It reaches into the full body text of every PDF. If the words exist anywhere in any document you have saved, the search will find them. Combined with folder and tag filtering, you can narrow results down to exactly the document you need in seconds.
Choose the plan that fits your workflow. Every plan includes Pretty PDF's core content extraction and professional templates.

The web is not permanent. Your library is.
Bookmarks break. The average link half-life is about two years. Pages change, get paywalled, or disappear entirely. That article you bookmarked last year? There is a reasonable chance it no longer exists at the same URL, or the content has been altered behind a paywall you did not have to deal with when you first read it.
A PDF is a permanent snapshot of exactly what was published at the moment you saved it. The text, the images, the formatting — all captured and preserved regardless of what happens to the original page. No broken links, no paywalls, no "this page has been removed" messages.
Over time, your library becomes a searchable personal knowledge base of everything you have read and saved from the web. Research papers, technical documentation, interesting articles, code tutorials, project references — all indexed, all organized, all instantly searchable by content.
Better than bookmarks, because bookmarks break. Better than browser history, because history does not save the content. Better than screenshots, because screenshots are not searchable. Your cloud PDF library is a living archive that grows more valuable the more you use it.
Save, organize, and search every PDF you generate. Your personal web archive, always accessible.
