Stop wrestling with ugly browser print dialogs. Pretty PDF converts any webpage into a clean, professionally styled document — with ads, navigation, and clutter removed automatically.
Free — 3 PDFs per month. No credit card required.
Every time you press Ctrl+P to save a webpage as PDF, you get a document full of junk. Here's what goes wrong.
Banner ads, popup remnants, and sponsored content blocks litter your PDF. You wanted the article, not the advertising.
The header, footer, sidebar, menu, and cookie banner all make it into the PDF. Half the pages are content you didn't want.
The URL, date, and page title stamped across every page. Chrome adds these automatically and they're surprisingly hard to remove.
Responsive designs collapse, images disappear, tables overflow the page, and code blocks get cut off. The PDF looks nothing like the webpage.
Pretty PDF handles the hard parts. You just click.
Add Pretty PDF Printer to Chrome from the Chrome Web Store. It's free — no account required to start.
Pick a template (Clean, Minimal, Corporate, Academic, or Dark Mode), page size, and capture mode — article, full page, or selection.
Click Generate. In seconds, you get a clean, professionally formatted PDF with all the clutter stripped away.
The same article, two very different results.
Our server-side engine analyzes the page structure, identifies the main content, and strips away everything else.

Clean for articles, Minimal for notes, Corporate for business, Academic for research, Dark Mode for developers. Each designed for a different context.
Article mode extracts the main content. Full page captures everything. Selection mode converts only the text you've highlighted.

Automate PDF generation with our REST API. Convert URLs or HTML programmatically. Integrate into your workflows, CI/CD, or internal tools.
Pretty PDF converts any webpage. These platforms get extra-smart extraction with custom parsers.
When you press Ctrl+P in your browser, the browser uses its built-in print engine to render the page. This is fast but crude — it applies a generic print stylesheet to whatever is currently on screen, including ads, navigation, cookie banners, and everything else.
Pretty PDF works differently. Your browser extension captures the page HTML and sends it to our server, where three things happen:
The result is a PDF that looks like a designed document, not a webpage screenshot.
Converting websites to PDF isn't just about saving articles. Teams and professionals use it across every industry:
