Better URL-to-PDF conversions
Pro tips for capturing web pages perfectly.
Use Render Delay for Dynamic Pages
If a page loads content via JavaScript (charts, images, data), increase the render delay to 3-5 seconds. This ensures all dynamic content is captured.
Check Print CSS First
Some websites have dedicated print stylesheets that optimize the page for paper. If the PDF looks different from the screen, the site may be using print CSS.
Use Batch for Research
When researching multiple sources, paste all URLs at once. You get a PDF for each page with URL headers — perfect for organizing your references.
Add URL Headers for Citation
Always enable URL headers when archiving for research or legal purposes. This preserves the source link directly in the PDF for future reference.
Choose Landscape for Wide Pages
Pages with wide tables, dashboards, or side-by-side layouts look better in landscape orientation. Switch from portrait to avoid content being cut off.
Save Before Pages Change
Web content is ephemeral. If you find important information, convert it to PDF immediately. Pages can be edited or removed at any time without notice.
