LooPDF

Convert Website to PDF

Capture a live website and download it as a PDF. The capture runs on our server to avoid cross-site restrictions.

Website to PDF

Website to PDF as one continuous page

Enter an address and the page is opened in a browser window of the size you set. The browser scrolls down so that images and sections that load late appear, then saves everything as a single PDF page, with no margins and no page breaks cutting through text or pictures.

That page grows to fit the site: never narrower than Viewport Width (px), wider when content overflows, up to 8,000 pixels, and as tall as the content, up to 30,000 pixels.

URL to PDF, or webpage to PDF, works on pages that are already online, so there is nothing to download first.

Viewport

Capture a webpage at desktop or phone width

  • Viewport Width (px)

    Sites change their layout with the window width. Keep 1280 for the desktop design, or enter a phone width such as 390 to capture the mobile layout. Any value from 320 to 5000 works.

  • Viewport Height (px)

    The window height while the page loads, 720 by default. It doesn't cut the capture short: the PDF still runs to the end of the content and is never shorter than this height.

How it works

What happens after you click Convert to PDF

Your request starts a capture job on our server, and the page checks on it every second and a half until the PDF is ready. The server gives a page up to 90 seconds to load and render, and if the first attempt crashes or times out, it tries once more.

The capture waits until the site stops loading files. A page that never goes quiet, such as a live feed or a streaming video, can run out of time, and so can one that is slow to answer.

When the server is already busy with other captures, you are asked to try again in a minute, and after each capture the next one can start 60 seconds later.

The PDF is named after the site's host name, with dots turned into underscores and our site name added, so two pages from the same site download under the same name.

Have the page as a file?

If you wrote or saved the page yourself, that HTML page to PDF conversion belongs on HTML to PDF instead, no address needed.

The capture asks sites for English, so a site that picks its language from the browser shows its English version. To capture another language, enter the address of that language version directly, if the site has one.

Each capture saves the one address you enter, not the pages it links to. Capture the pages you need one by one, then join the PDFs with Merge PDF.

No. An address typed as example.com gets https:// added in front, so the site is captured over an encrypted connection.

The capture visits the site as a first-time visitor and doesn't click anything, so a cookie notice or sign-up pop-up shown to new visitors stays on the page. If it hides content you need, accept it in your own browser and save the page with its print dialog.

Yes. Links on the page stay clickable in the PDF, and the text can be selected, searched and copied.

The capture sees the page at Viewport Width (px), not at the size of your window, and as a visitor who has never been to the site before. Set the width to match your screen, and compare with a private browser window, which starts without cookies too.

Some sites block automated visits or take too long to load. When a capture fails, the page shows how to save it with your own browser's print dialog, step by step for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and Opera.
