Changelog

All notable changes to the Web to File Chrome extension.

Version 1.0.5 — July 2026

New

  • Image export: save any page as a full-length screenshot in PNG, JPEG, or WebP, with your format choice remembered. Full Page mode captures the page as shown in the tab; Article and Custom modes capture the clean, formatted content, matching the PDF layout.
  • Export and print errors now appear as a readable message inside the panel instead of a system dialog.

Fixed

  • Storage is now freed properly: deleting or trimming export history also removes the underlying files, and leftover files from earlier versions are cleaned up automatically.
  • Markdown export no longer fails on certain pages with unusual publish-date information.
  • Full-page image capture no longer duplicates content on some pages or fails on very long pages on high-resolution displays; capture retries once automatically if it hits a temporary error.
  • Wikipedia pages now extract correctly: no more one-sentence results instead of the article, stray style text in exports, or “[edit]” links appearing in titles and content.
  • WebP export no longer produces an empty file on very long pages.

Improved

  • Links now look the same in preview, PDF, and image exports: blue with an underline, kept for readability.
  • The side panel opens faster and stays lighter in memory.

Version 1.0.4 — July 2026

  • Maintenance release.

Version 1.0.3 — June 2026

  • Reduced the extension’s installation size.

Version 1.0.2 — April 2026
