# Free Webpage to PDF Converter

> Convert any webpage to PDF free: paste a public URL and download a PDF with the page's real layout, fonts and colors. No browser extension, no sign-up. To turn the same kind of page into a PDF on a schedule or after every webhook, import it as an Orshot template and render it through the API.

## At a glance

- **Free:** no sign-up, no credit card, no limit on conversions, no extension to install.
- **Input:** any public URL. Orshot fetches the page for you.
- **Output:** a PDF that keeps backgrounds, fonts, spacing and colors, unlike a browser's print to PDF.
- **Nothing stored:** the page is fetched just long enough to convert it, and the PDF downloads straight from your browser.
- **API for bulk:** free plan with 100 credits every month, 1 credit per PDF page.

## When to use it

- **Save one webpage as a PDF:** an article, a landing page, an invoice or a report page. Use the free converter.
- **Webpage to PDF on repeat:** the same kind of page (an invoice, a report, a boarding pass) as a PDF on a schedule or after every webhook. Use "Edit as Template" once, then render through the API, n8n, Make or Zapier.
- **You need selectable text:** render through the API. The free download is a high-resolution image inside a PDF.

### PDF generation

- **PDF generation API:** automate PDF generation for invoices, reports, proposals and one-pagers from a template, multi-page. It works as an invoice generator API without maintaining an HTML to PDF API and its print CSS. ([more](https://orshot.com/solutions/pdf-generation-api.md))
- **Bulk certificate generator and Google Sheets to PDF:** one certificate, badge or ticket per attendee row, from Google Sheets or Airtable. ([more](https://orshot.com/integrations/no-code.md))

### When it is not the right fit

- Single-page apps that build their content with JavaScript: the free converter does not run scripts, so the page may come through blank or incomplete.
- Pages behind a login: the tool can only fetch public URLs.

## Webpage to PDF at scale (API)

Turn the fetched page into an editable template once, then render it with new values:

```js
await fetch("https://api.orshot.com/v1/studio/render", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    Authorization: "Bearer <ORSHOT_API_KEY>",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    templateId: "<TEMPLATE_ID>",
    modifications: {
      reportTitle: "Monthly Usage Report",
      reportDate: "June 2026",
      totalUsage: "8,420 credits",
    },
    response: {
      type: "url",
      format: "pdf",
    },
  }),
});
```

Node.js, Python, Ruby and PHP SDKs, or plain REST.

## FAQ

### Is this webpage to PDF converter really free?

Yes. Paste a URL and download the PDF. No sign-up, no credit card, no limit on conversions.

### Will this work for any website?

It works best on standard, server-rendered pages like articles, landing pages, invoices, and reports. The converter renders HTML and CSS but doesn't execute JavaScript, so a page that builds its content client side (a typical single-page app) may come through blank or incomplete.

### Can I save a webpage as a PDF without installing an extension?

Yes, that's exactly what this tool replaces. Paste the URL, click convert, and the PDF downloads straight from your browser. No extension or desktop app required.

### Does the PDF keep the website's exact layout and styling?

Yes. It renders with a real browser engine, the same one behind Orshot's API, so backgrounds, fonts, spacing, and colors come through as designed. That's different from a browser's built-in "print to PDF," which often strips backgrounds and reflows the page for print.

### Can I automate converting URLs to PDF via API?

Yes. Use "Edit as Template" to turn a fetched page into an editable Orshot template once, then call the render API whenever you need a fresh PDF of the same layout. Node.js, Python, Ruby, and PHP SDKs, or plain REST.

### Do you store the pages I convert?

No. A URL has to pass through our server briefly to fetch it, since browsers can't read another site's HTML directly, but we don't save the page or the PDF. Everything is generated and downloaded straight to your browser.

### Is the PDF text selectable, or an image?

The free instant download is a high-resolution image of the page embedded in a PDF. It looks exactly like the original, but the text isn't selectable. If you need a true text-layer PDF rendered server-side, import the page as an Orshot template and render it via the API.
