Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to save webpage as pdf using safari on iphone & ipad.

Are you looking to save a webpage or multiple webpages as PDF files to your iPhone or iPad? There are many reasons you might want to do this, perhaps you’re wishing to save a webpage receipt as a PDF for record keeping, to archive a page, or to access a web page offline. Fortunately, Safari makes it easy to convert webpages into PDF files.

The ability to create PDF from webpages in Safari was first introduced with the release of iOS 11. However, the steps needed to access the same has been slightly tweaked if you’re running a newer version of iOS like iOS 15, iOS 14, and iOS 13. The advantage of having PDF files of webpages is that they can be viewed even when you’re not connected to the internet and they can also be easily printed out. Plus, you can share it with your colleagues along with other files. So let’s check out creating a PDF from a webpage by using Safari on iPhone or iPad.

How to Save Webpage as PDF with Safari on iPhone & iPad

The following steps are applicable if your iPhone or iPad is running iOS 13/iPadOS 13 or later. On the other hand, if your device is running an older software version, you can follow this method instead .

That’s all you needed to do. You’ve successfully saved the current webpage as a PDF file on your iOS/iPadOS device.

The “Save to Files” option will only show up in the share sheet if you’ve selected the PDF format from the Options menu. This setting will be reset once you exit the share sheet. So, if you’re looking to save multiple webpages, you’ll need to repeat the above steps for each one of them.

If you’ve saved the PDF file in an iCloud Drive directory, it’s worth pointing out that the file will be accessible from all your other Apple devices as well, provided you’re signed into them with the same Apple account.

The saved webpage can then be shared as a file from the Files app instead of a webpage, which can then be viewed even offline by the recipient. The PDF file will follow the format of “Safari – (Date of Creation) – (Time of Creation).pdf”, but you can easily rename it according to your preference within the Files app .

Keep in mind that if the webpage had ads or other page styling, the downloaded PDF files will also show those ads or page styling. However, if you don’t want that kind of stuff in your saved PDF, you can switch to reader view in Safari and then follow the same steps to save it without any ads, page clutter, or styling elements.

Did you convert any webpage to a PDF file, or save webpages as a PDF file to your iPhone or iPad? What is the purpose you use this feature for? Do you use another approach? Let us know your experiences and thoughts in the comments.

This is really helpful, thank you.

This technique does not work with all webpages. Some webpages do not allow saving or printing.

Whilst this works, 1) It only includes a single page. 2) Margins are blotting out key page content.

I am on Android for the past 4 years but if memory serves me correct you can: expert > print > ping OUT on the print preview > export there > do whatever you want.

Hey, this is really useful! Thanks! I have previously used the method of printing to PDF, then reverse pinch, tap the share box on that one & save. Which works about as well (maybe in all apps that can print), but so very not-obvious.

How to save a website as a pdf on iphone and ipad.

Want to save a PDF of a website or article on your iPhone or iPad to read later? Here are a couple of ways you can do just that!

Quick Links

How to save a full-page screenshot as a pdf, how to save a website as a pdf from the share sheet, how to save a website as a pdf from any brower using shortcuts, how to save a website as a pdf in ios 12 and earlier.

It's handy to save websites and articles as PDFs so you can read them later. Here's how you can quickly generate a PDF on your iPhone or iPad, and then save it with a service like Pocket .

In iOS 13 , iPadOS 13, and newer, you can take a full-page screenshot of a website in Safari and save it as a PDF in the Files app.

There are two notable points about this new method:

• The PDF generates as one continuous page without any page breaks.
• Instead of a regular PDF, with an A4 page width, the PDF is the same width as the iPhone or iPad on which you're viewing it.

If you want to generate a cleaner PDF of the page---without the ads and formatting---switch to  Reader Mode  first. To do this, tap and hold "AA" in the upper-left corner, and then tap it again to customize the text layout.

Open the website on your iPhone or iPad and  take a screenshot . If you have an iPhone X-style device with a notch, or an iPad Pro with Face ID, press and hold the "Side" and "Volume Up" buttons together until you see the screenshot animation.

If you're using an iPhone or iPad with a Home button, press it, along with the "Power/Sleep" button to take a screenshot.

You see a little screenshot preview in the bottom-left corner---tap it.

You're now in the screenshot editor. Tap "Full Page."

Now, the whole page appears. You can use the scrollbar at the right edge of the screen to navigate. Because you're in the screenshot editing screen, the entire annotation suite is available to you. You can doodle over the PDF or use arrows to highlight sections.

You can either save the PDF to the Files app or export it to any app of your choice. To save it to the Files app, tap "Done."

In the popup, tap "Save PDF to Files."

Next, select the location in which you want to save the PDF; you can choose the local drive, external storage , or a cloud storage account. After you select the location, tap "Save."

If you want to send the PDF to an app---as an attachment in the Mail or Books apps, for example---tap the Share button (the box with an upward-pointing arrow). Select the app to which you want to send the PDF.

If you prefer a more traditional method to save a website as a PDF, you can find it in the Share Sheet. This method creates the familiar, paginated PDF in the A4 size.

In iOS 13, iPadOS 13, and above, a new option allows you to choose between a regular PDF and a Reader PDF.

Open the page in Safari and tap the Share button.

At the top of the Share Sheet, you see the title of the page; just below it, tap "Options."

If necessary, switch to the "Reader PDF" option to create a stripped-down version of the webpage. If you plan to read a long article on your iPad, this is the best option.

After you select the PDF option you want, tap "Done."

You now return to the Share Sheet. Here, tap "Save to Files."

Next, select the output folder, and then tap "Save."

You can now go to the Files app and tap the file to preview it. Tap the "Share" button to open the PDF in the Apple Books app or a third-party PDF reader.

If you use a third-party browser, you don't have the same PDF creation options you do in Safari. However, you can use a shortcut called "Make PDF." This shortcut creates a PDF using a URL from any app.

Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone or iPad and tap "Gallery."

Here, tap the "Search" field, and then type, "Make PDF."

Tap the plus sign (+) next to the "Make PDF" option.

Tap "Add Shortcut."

The shortcut is added to your Gallery, and it appears directly in the Share Sheet if your device runs iOS 13, iPadOS 13, or above. If your device runs iOS 12 or below, tap "Run Shortcut" in the actions bar to access the shortcut.

Go to a website, and then tap the Share button.

In the Share Sheet, scroll down and tap "Make PDF."

You see the shortcut working. After the PDF generates, you see a preview of it. Tap the Share button.

Choose "Save to Files" to save the PDF to an iCloud Drive or local storage. You can also choose an action, like "Copy to Books," to open the PDF directly in the Apple Books app. If you have a third-party PDF reader, you can select it.

If your iPhone or iPad runs iOS 12, you can use the Create PDF action to convert a website into a PDF.

Next, go to the Actions list (the second horizontally scrolling list) and tap "Create PDF."

You now see the PDF preview---scroll to view the entire page, and then tap "Done."

If you want to share the PDF to a particular app, tap the Share button to open the Share Sheet. In the popup, tap "Save File To."

Now, select the location where you want to save the file, and then tap "Add."

The PDF is now in the location you specified. Open the Files app, and then tap the file to open or share it.

When browsing the web, we often come across PDF files. If you’re using Safari you can view such files within the browser itself. But if you want to keep them for later reference, you can also save PDF files from Safari to iPhone, iPad, or Mac. This is different from saving webpages as PDFs which is another handy feature of Safari. Let’s check it out.

How to Save PDF Files from Safari on iPhone or iPad

How to download pdf files from safari on mac.

• Download PDF Files from a Link in Safari on Mac

Make Safari Download PDF Files Instead of Opening Them

If you want to save PDF from Safari to the Files app on your iPhone, it’s pretty simple. When browsing on Safari on iPhone, if you tap the link to a downloadable file, a dialog box will appear to confirm that you would like to download the file.

Once you tap “Download,” the file will be added to the downloads manager and start downloading. It will continue downloading until the entire file is downloaded, even if you close Safari or leave the webpage.

By default, downloaded files are saved to a ‘Downloads’ folders in iCloud Drive so that you can access them from all your devices. But you can change the default location that files are saved in if you wish.

When you click on a link to a PDF file in Safari on Mac, it will automatically open it. To save the PDF file that you’re viewing, click on the “File” menu at the top of the screen and choose “Save As.”

In the dialog box that opens, name the PDF file and select the destination where you want to keep the PDF file. Then, click “Save.”

That’s it. Once the file is downloaded, you can view it anytime by opening it from the location where you chose to save it.

How to Download PDF Files from a Link in Safari on Mac

If you want to download a linked PDF file in Safari to the Mac, that works the same as downloading any other linked item in Safari on the Mac:

Right-click on the PDF file link and choose “Download Linked File As”. Then, name the PDF file and save the file to the preferred destination folder.

A neat download trick for Safari is to  hold down the OPTION key and then click the link to the PDF or refresh the current page if the PDF is already open in Safari.

That will also download the PDF document directly into the preset Downloads folder.

Usually, you will probably end up opening PDF files on Safari when trying to download them. If you want to avoid this and directly save a PDF from Safari on Mac, you can try the following tricks:

• If it’s a link that is clickable to open the PDF, you can just hold the OPTION/ALT key when clicking the URL to instantly download the PDF to the default download location. This will instantly download the PDF file to your Downloads folder unless you changed the download destination in Safari
• Another option to download a PDF instead of opening it within Safari is to load the PDF within a tab and then click the URL bar. Hold down the OPTION/ALT key and hit Return (or refresh the PDF on display) to download the PDF

Wrapping Up…

As you can see, it’s a breeze to download and save PDF files on Safari on the iPhone and Mac. You can later access them from your downloads folder even when you’re offline. If you have any questions or thoughts about this, share in the comments section below.

Step 1: Open Safari on your iPhone

To begin the process of downloading a PDF on your iPhone from Safari, you'll first need to launch the Safari web browser on your device. Safari is the default browser on iOS devices, offering a user-friendly interface and seamless integration with other native apps. You can easily locate the Safari icon on your home screen, typically featuring a compass-like design. Tapping on the Safari icon will open the browser, presenting you with a familiar search bar and navigation controls.

Upon opening Safari, you'll be greeted by the start page, which may display your frequently visited websites, bookmarks, or suggested content. From here, you can either enter a specific web address in the search bar or choose from your saved bookmarks to navigate to a particular website. If you have a direct link to the PDF you wish to download, you can enter the URL in the search bar and proceed to the website hosting the PDF file.

Safari provides a smooth and intuitive browsing experience, allowing you to seamlessly navigate web pages, interact with online content, and access a wide range of documents and media. Whether you're exploring the latest news, conducting research, or accessing educational resources, Safari serves as a versatile gateway to the vast expanse of the internet, right at your fingertips.

As you open Safari on your iPhone , take a moment to familiarize yourself with the browser's features and functionality. You can utilize tabs for multitasking, access the share menu to save or share web content, and leverage the search bar for quick and efficient navigation. Safari's user-centric design and robust performance make it an essential tool for accessing online resources, including PDF files that you may want to download and store on your device for future reference.

By opening Safari on your iPhone, you're embarking on the initial step towards seamlessly downloading PDFs and expanding your digital library with valuable content. With Safari's accessibility and versatility, you can effortlessly embark on a journey through the vast landscape of the internet, discovering and acquiring essential PDFs to enrich your digital experience on your iPhone.

Step 2: Find the PDF you want to download

Once you have Safari open on your iPhone, the next step is to locate the specific PDF that you want to download. There are several ways to find PDFs on the web, whether you're searching for academic articles, legal forms, user manuals, or any other type of document saved in PDF format.

One common method is to use a search engine to look for the PDF. You can simply enter relevant keywords or the title of the document followed by "PDF" in the search bar. This will help narrow down the results to PDF files, making it easier to find the specific document you're seeking to download.

Another approach is to visit websites that are known to host PDFs, such as academic repositories, government portals, or digital libraries. These platforms often provide a wealth of PDF resources, ranging from scholarly papers and research studies to official forms and publications. By navigating to these websites within Safari, you can explore their content and identify the PDFs you wish to download.

Furthermore, if you have a direct link to the PDF you want to download, you can enter the URL in Safari's search bar. This will take you directly to the webpage hosting the PDF file, allowing you to initiate the download process without the need for extensive navigation.

Safari's search functionality and web browsing capabilities empower you to efficiently locate PDFs across the internet, giving you the flexibility to access a diverse array of digital documents. Whether you're conducting research, accessing reference materials, or simply exploring informative content, Safari serves as a gateway to a vast repository of PDF resources, enabling you to find and download the documents that align with your interests and needs.

Step 3: Tap on the PDF link

After locating the PDF you wish to download within Safari on your iPhone, the next crucial step is to tap on the PDF link to initiate the download process. When browsing a webpage that contains a link to a PDF document, you'll typically encounter a highlighted or underlined text, an icon, or a button that signifies the presence of the PDF file. This visual indicator serves as a direct pathway to access and download the PDF onto your device.

Upon identifying the link to the PDF, gently tap on it using your fingertip. This action prompts Safari to recognize the PDF file and initiate the download sequence. As you tap on the PDF link, you may observe a brief loading animation or a notification indicating that the file is being prepared for download. This seamless interaction with the PDF link signifies the commencement of the download process, setting the stage for the subsequent steps that will lead to the successful acquisition of the PDF on your iPhone.

Tapping on the PDF link within Safari exemplifies the user-friendly and intuitive nature of the browsing experience on iOS devices. By engaging with the link, you're actively signaling your intent to access and save the PDF, leveraging the inherent functionality of Safari to seamlessly interact with digital content. This tactile interaction underscores the seamless integration of Safari with the broader iOS ecosystem, empowering users to effortlessly engage with online resources and acquire valuable documents with ease.

As you tap on the PDF link, you're taking a decisive step towards securing the desired document on your iPhone, enabling you to build a comprehensive library of digital resources that cater to your informational needs.

This pivotal interaction sets the stage for the subsequent stages of the download process, ultimately leading to the successful acquisition and storage of the PDF on your iPhone, enriching your ability to access and reference vital documents at your convenience.

Step 4: Select "Download" or "Save to Files"

After tapping on the PDF link within Safari on your iPhone, you will be presented with options to either "Download" the PDF directly or "Save to Files," depending on the website's configuration and the specific actions enabled by the webpage. These options serve as pivotal pathways to acquire and store the PDF on your device, offering distinct functionalities that cater to different user preferences and organizational needs.

When the "Download" option is available, tapping on it triggers the direct acquisition of the PDF onto your iPhone. This streamlined process ensures that the PDF file is promptly downloaded and saved within the designated storage space on your device, allowing for quick and convenient access without the need for additional steps or interactions. The "Download" functionality exemplifies the seamless integration of Safari with the iOS ecosystem, providing users with a straightforward method to acquire digital content and expand their personal library of PDFs.

Alternatively, if the "Save to Files" option is presented, tapping on this selection initiates a more nuanced approach to managing the PDF. By choosing to "Save to Files," you gain the ability to specify the destination folder or location within the Files app where the PDF will be stored. This level of customization empowers you to organize your digital documents according to your preferred structure, facilitating efficient retrieval and categorization of PDFs based on their relevance, purpose, or subject matter. The "Save to Files" feature underscores the flexibility and user-centric design of Safari and the iOS environment, allowing for personalized management of downloaded PDFs to suit individual workflow and organizational preferences.

The availability of both "Download" and "Save to Files" options within Safari reflects the platform's commitment to providing users with diverse and intuitive methods to acquire and store digital content. Whether you opt for the direct download approach or the tailored file management capabilities offered through the Files app, Safari ensures that you can seamlessly integrate downloaded PDFs into your device's storage, enhancing your ability to access and reference essential documents with unparalleled ease and efficiency.

This pivotal decision marks the culmination of the download process, solidifying your ability to seamlessly acquire, manage, and access vital PDFs on your iPhone, enriching your digital experience and productivity.

Step 5: Access the downloaded PDF from the Files app

Once you have successfully downloaded a PDF from Safari on your iPhone, accessing the file is a seamless process through the Files app. The Files app serves as a centralized hub for managing and organizing your digital documents, providing a user-friendly interface that facilitates effortless navigation and retrieval of downloaded content.

To access the downloaded PDF, simply navigate to the Files app on your iPhone. Upon launching the app, you'll be greeted by an intuitive file management interface, featuring familiar navigation controls and organizational tools. The app's design prioritizes ease of use, allowing you to swiftly locate and interact with your downloaded PDFs.

Within the Files app, you can explore various locations where the PDF may be stored, including the "Downloads" folder, which serves as a default destination for downloaded files. By accessing the "Downloads" folder, you can quickly locate the recently acquired PDF and initiate further actions, such as moving the file to a different location, renaming it, or sharing it with other apps and users.

Furthermore, the Files app enables you to create custom folders to categorize and store your PDFs based on specific criteria, such as subject matter, project relevance, or document type. This organizational flexibility empowers you to curate a personalized library of PDFs, streamlining your ability to retrieve and reference essential documents with precision and efficiency.

You can easily make or print a PDF file in iOS from apps like Safari, Google Chrome, Gmail and Outlook.

The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max.

We use our phones for nearly everything, which means you might need to print documents from your mobile device occasionally. Whether it's a work-related report or a new recipe, sometimes it's just easier to read a hard copy rather than a digital file on your phone's tiny 6-inch screen.

Printing from your iPhone is simple, as long as you're connected to a printer that's compatible with AirPrint. Check out this support page on Apple's website for a list of printers that work with AirPrint.

Here's how to print or save web pages and emails as PDFs on your iPhone. 

How to print or save a web page as a PDF on your iPhone

First, open the website you'd like to print in your phone's web browser.

Then, tap the Share button. In most apps, this looks like a square with an arrow pointing up, as shown below.

In some apps, like Mozilla Firefox, you may need to tap a menu icon that looks three dots to find the Share option.

How to Take a Screenshot of a Full Webpage and Export it as a PDF on Your iPhone

• Users should know that screenshotting an entire webpage is rather simple on iOS.
• While users originally needed to use Safari to accomplish this, recent updates to iOS allow for support from popular third-party apps.
• There’s also a really easy way to screenshot a webpage on a Mac.

Need to know how to take a full webpage screenshot and export it as a PDF on your iPhone? Worry not, for a solution is available. There can be instances when a user needs to screenshot an entire webpage, which isn’t as obvious as one would think. Whether this is for work or play, knowing how to take a screenshot on your iPhone can be quite handy. If you want to know how to take a full-page screenshot on an iPhone 11 or save a screenshot as a PDF on iOS 15, I’ve got you covered. Even better, there’s no need for a third-party app or any additional software. Those looking to capture a full webpage screenshot and export it to PDF format really only need to know one specific thing. 

With that in mind, I’m going to show users how they’re able to screenshot an entire webpage and export it as a PDF on iPhone. I’ll also briefly discuss the compatibility and limitations of this full-page feature, while also showing some additional tips as well. Users should note that the ability to screenshot an entire page is going to require a certain version of iOS, so not every device model is going to be compatible with this feature. Nonetheless, knowing how to screenshot complete webpages is pretty useful, so let’s take a look at how to accomplish this with certain browsers, including Apple’s default browser.

How to Take Full-Page Screenshots on iPhone

If you need to take a screenshot of a full webpage and export it to a PDF on your iPhone, then Safari is going to be your go-to app for this task . Additionally, you can also use certain third-party browsers, such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

Time needed:  1 minute

To capture a full-page screenshot on your iPhone, follow these steps.

On devices with Face ID, you do this by pressing the side button and volume button at the same time. If you have Touch ID and a side button, press the Home button and the Side button at the same time. If your iPhone has a button on the top of the device, press the Home button and the top button at the same time.

That’s all there is to it! Using Safari, or virtually any third-party browser, you can take full-page screenshots of any webpage and save it as a PDF directly to your device. It’s quite a useful feature. However, there are some limitations that users should be aware of in the next section. 

Compatibility and Limitations on iPhone

While Safari can save a screenshot of an entire webpage as a PDF, there are some limitations to this capability. For example, this feature was first introduced in iOS 13, so not every iPhone is going to be able to support this feature. Older iPhone models, such as the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, and older models are not going to be able to take advantage of this feature.

Another important thing to know about this feature is that it works with any browser, so long as you are running a current version of iOS. When the feature first saw an introduction in iOS 13, the ability to screenshot an entire webpage was limited to just Safari. However, this feature now works with other browsers, such as Google Chrome and Firefox. If you’re running the latest version of iOS, you should be good to go. However, if you find that Google Chrome or Firefox isn’t working, try Apple’s default browser, Safari. This should help you get the ideal screenshot you’re looking for.  

Users should also remember the plethora of Share options available when creating a screenshot on their iPhone. Remember steps four and five in the above how-to: rather than selecting Done, users can select the Share Button in the top-right corner for a wealth of options. For example, aside from being able to send the image through Messages, you can also implement AirDrop to send it to other Apple devices. Users are also able to copy the screenshot, add it to Notes, add it to a Shared Album, or save it directly to their files as a JPEG. Of course, users should remember that if they screenshot a webpage, it is likely to be a gigantic screenshot. 

Take a Full-Page Screenshot on Mac: Scrolling Screenshot

Knowing how to take a full-page screenshot on iPhone is rather useful, but did you know you can accomplish this on a Mac as well? You can, and it’s rather easy. On a Mac, one option users have is a scrolling screenshot, and it can go beyond taking a simple screen grab of an entire webpage. Knowing how to do it is as easy as remembering your keyboard shortcuts. 

• Open the webpage you want to screenshot. 
• Press  Command + Shift + 5  on your keyboard simultaneously. 
• You will see a screen record toolbar appear near the bottom of the screen.
• From the toolbar, click  Record Entire Screen . 

• Scroll through the screen that you want to capture. Make sure you are getting everything you want. 
• Click  Command + Shift + 5  again. 
• This will bring the toolbar up again, press the  Stop Screen Recording  button.  

Screenshot an Entire Page on Mac

Introduced in macOS X, users can also take a screenshot of an entire webpage. Simply follow these steps:

• Open the webpage you want to screenshot.
• Hold  Command + minus (-) . This allows you to zoom out on the page until you can see everything without scrolling.
• Then, press  Command + Shift + 4 . This will make a cursor appear. Use your mouse to drag the cursor, selecting the entire webpage. Your Mac will take a screenshot upon the release of the mouse button.

While users originally needed Apple’s Safari to take full-page screenshots, this is fortunately no longer the case thanks to updates with iOS. Now, users can implement some of the most popular third-party browsers to take screenshots, meaning any choice they make regarding a browser is now an excellent choice. Whether you need to take a screenshot of an entire webpage for business or just to share information with someone, know that it’s as easy as following a few steps. Of course, if you need to share a Pages document as a PDF, that’s a cinch to do as well.

Tin just saved me like $100 wow! 👀

I recently tried out Tin, a Safari extension that's pretty much a game-changer for snagging the best online deals with zero hassle. Easy to set up and even easier to use, Tin acts like your personal bargain hunter, silently finding better prices on everything from tech to kitchen gadgets and giving you a heads-up on the savings. It's cool because it also shows the price history, helping you decide if it's the right time to buy. While it's mostly spot-on, it occasionally misses a beat, but that's a small trade-off for how much time and money it's saved me. Whether you're making big purchases or everyday buys, Tin keeps things private and secure, making it a must-have for effortless savings. Honestly, your wallet will thank you for this one.

Superb Shopping App

My friend raved about Tin, so I decided to give it a try. Within just 24 hours, I was blown away by how intuitive and helpful it is! The app is a breeze to set up, and the deals it finds are unreal. On my first shopping spree, I snagged discounts on several items that I've been eyeing for ages, effortlessly saving a hefty sum. Tin's automatic coupon feature at checkout is a game-changer – it feels like I have a personal assistant scouring the internet for the best deals, all for me. From tech gadgets to fashion finds, Tin has consistently delivered savings that make a difference. I can't recommend it enough – it's like having the inside scoop on the best sales every time I shop! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
