Save an article without the page clutter
An article PDF is useful for offline reading, printing, sharing a reference, or keeping notes beside a stable copy. Menus, advertisements, and unrelated recommendations can make a normal webpage difficult to read on paper.
This converter focuses on the article rather than the entire website design. It extracts a reading structure, lets you remove unwanted sections, and creates a paginated file. Compare the preview with the source so that important context is not lost.
Three ways to start
Article URL
Use one public article page. The importer reads a bounded HTML response and looks for the main article. It cannot sign in, execute page scripts, or recover hidden paywalled text.
Pasted text
Use this when you already have a reading copy. Blank lines separate paragraphs, and # headings create sections. Plain text cannot recover original image files or link destinations.
Copied HTML
Use HTML when you need headings, lists, tables, or relative references. Supply a source URL for relative addresses. Supported structure becomes text fields without running scripts.
Review the details that make a PDF useful
Keep the context
Check the title, source, byline, date, and limitations stated in the article. Missing metadata stays blank rather than being guessed.
Clean up extraction
Remove navigation fragments and unrelated sections. Correct heading text, repair table cells, and keep the explanation that makes quotations meaningful.
Choose images deliberately
Image references start unselected. Include illustrations needed to understand the text, then check export warnings for blocked or unsupported files.
Check the finished file
Open the PDF before sharing. Review page breaks, tables, links, and mixed-language text. A readable layout still needs a final content check.
Example: prepare a reading copy for a review meeting
Suppose an article contains a useful explanation, a comparison table, and several decorative images. Import it, check the attribution, and remove unrelated recommendations. Keep the table and select only the illustration that explains the process.
Choose Letter for a team using that paper size, or keep A4. Increase the text size for comfortable reading. Create the file, check it, and download before leaving. The fictional example in the form lets you test this workflow first.
Understand the export limits
The output retains reviewed wording, headings, list content, bounded table cells, source attribution, numbered link references, and selected PNG/JPEG images. Complex layouts, merged table styling, embedded media, and script-drawn charts are simplified or omitted.
Use content you own or have permission to save and share. If extraction is incomplete, use pasted content and compare it with the original. For a separate editorial check before exporting, try the AI Readability Checker.

Article to PDF questions
How do I convert an article to PDF?
Enter a public article URL and create a preview. Review the title, source details, and article sections. Edit or remove sections, choose layout settings, then create and download the PDF.
Can I save an article when URL import fails?
Use Paste text or Paste HTML for content you have permission to save. Login walls, paywalls, browser challenges, and JavaScript-only pages cannot be reliably imported. The tool does not bypass access controls.
Is this an actual downloadable PDF?
Yes. The tool creates a real PDF in your browser with embedded fonts, page numbers, article text, table cells, and supported selected images. It does not require a browser print dialog.
Does it preserve the exact website design?
No. It creates a reading copy rather than a screenshot. Headings, paragraphs, lists, table cells, and link references are retained where extraction supports them. Website layouts, scripts, and interactive media are omitted.
Can I edit the extracted article?
Yes. Change the title, byline, and date. Edit or remove text sections and edit table cells as tab-separated rows. Check that numbered link references still match after editing.
What happens to links and images?
HTTP and HTTPS links become numbered references and a clickable list. Up to six image references can be selected. Only selected images are requested. Public PNG/JPEG files up to 1.5 MB and 12 megapixels are supported. Failed images are omitted with warnings.
Can I change the PDF layout?
Optional controls provide A4 or Letter, text sizes from 10 to 14 points, three margin choices, and automatic or explicit text direction.
Does it support Urdu?
The export embeds Latin and Arabic-script fonts and uses shaping and text-direction controls. English and Urdu exports are checked. Review mixed-language text and unusual symbols. Unsupported font characters produce an explicit error.
How much content can I convert?
The preview supports 80,000 characters and 300 blocks, with 12,000 characters per text block. Tables are limited to 100 rows and eight columns. Import notes disclose limited content. Split long articles when needed.
Is source metadata verified?
No. A byline or date is copied only when found. Missing fields remain blank. Review attribution and publication information against the original before saving.
Where is article processing performed?
URL imports and selected image requests use our server. Pasted text, pasted HTML parsing, editing, and PDF creation happen in your browser. This feature does not send article text to an AI provider or save edits between visits.
Do edits update an existing PDF automatically?
No. An existing PDF remains available. A notice appears when the article or layout changes. Create the PDF again to include your latest edits, and download before leaving the page.
