Convert any web page to PDF, Markdown, EPUB or image
Web to File converts readable web content into files, without ads, sidebars, or page clutter. Export as PDF, Markdown, image, or EPUB — everything is processed locally in your browser. Free, no account, no tracking.
Features
Three export modes. Six file formats.
Choose how much of the page to keep, then convert it to the format you need.
Full Page mode
Captures the page as it is rendered, from top to bottom. Useful for dashboards, documentation, and pages where layout matters.
Article mode
Extracts the readable article — title, text, and images — and leaves out ads, navigation, and sidebars. Suited to news articles and blog posts.
Custom mode
Select the content blocks you want, reorder and refine them, and export your own version of the page.
PDF, Markdown, EPUB & image export
Convert to PDF for reading and sharing, Markdown for notes and archives, EPUB for e-readers, or a full-length PNG, JPEG, or WebP screenshot. PDFs can be paginated or one continuous page, with an optional header and footer.
AI conversations
Convert a ChatGPT thread into a document, each turn in order with its speaker. Your own conversations and shared links both work, and long threads convert in full.
Chinese, Japanese & Korean pages
CJK pages export complete, and the text in the PDF stays selectable and searchable rather than coming out as gaps.
Private by design
Pages are processed entirely on your device. There are no analytics and no tracking, and no data leaves your browser.
Export history & viewer
Past exports are kept in a local history with a built-in viewer, so you can reopen or download them again at any time.
From page to file in three steps.
Step 1: Install
Add Web to File to Chrome from the Chrome Web Store. There is nothing to sign up for or configure.
Step 2: Pick a mode
Open the side panel on the page you want to convert and choose Full Page, Article, or Custom. Preview and adjust the content before exporting.
Step 3: Export
Choose PDF, Markdown, EPUB, or an image format. The file is generated locally and saved to your Downloads folder.
Done!

What people convert pages for
A few of the ways Web to File fits into everyday work.
Convert long articles into clean PDFs or EPUBs to read later — on a flight, a tablet, or an e-reader.
Export pages as Markdown that drops straight into Obsidian, Notion, or any notes app, with the source URL attached.
Keep a permanent local copy of pages that may change or disappear, in a format you control.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers about privacy, formats, and permissions. There is more detail on the FAQ page.
Is my page content uploaded anywhere?
No. Extraction, conversion, and file generation all happen locally in your browser. Web to File has no backend servers and sends no webpage content, files, or browsing data anywhere.
Which file formats are supported?
PDF and Markdown for documents, full-length PNG, JPEG, and WebP screenshots, and EPUB for e-readers. EPUB files embed their images, so they stay readable offline on a Kindle or any e-reader.
Can I save a ChatGPT conversation?
Yes, in any of the four formats. Open the side panel on a conversation and the whole thread is exported, each turn in order with its speaker. Your own conversations and shared links both work. Reasoning steps and tool output are left out.
Is it free?
Yes. Web to File is free to install and use, with no account and no in-app purchases.
Why does it need the permissions it asks for?
Each one maps to something you can see: reading the page you asked to export, and using Chrome’s own renderer to produce the PDF or image. Web to File acts on a page only when you start an export, never in the background.
Which permissions does it deliberately not request?
Web to File does not request access to your downloads or your browsing history. Files are saved with a standard browser download, which needs no permission at all, and your Kindle or e-reader files are built on your device. There is no sign-in, so no access to your identity either.
