Gmail to PDF - Save Emails as PDF

Convert Gmail to PDF. Save emails and threads, batch export up to 50 conversations, and keep attachments in ZIP files. No uploads.

Save emails as PDF files directly from Gmail. Gmail to PDF processes your emails locally, helping you keep important conversations, order receipts, project records, and travel reservations for offline reading, sharing, printing, and archiving. Export a single message, an entire conversation, or a batch of selected conversations. Customize filenames, paper sizes, and layouts to suit your needs. Conversion happens locally in your browser without uploading email content to a remote conversion server. ✨ Key Features 📩 Save Emails Directly from Gmail Click PDF or Print in the conversation toolbar to start exporting. No need to copy email content manually or take multiple screenshots of a long message. 🎯 Single Messages or Entire Conversations Save an entire email conversation, or choose “Save this email as PDF” from an individual message’s More menu to keep just the content you need. 📚 Batch Export Multiple Conversations Select 1–50 conversations in your email list and click the batch export button to save each conversation separately. Track export progress and retry unfinished conversations when organizing related emails. 📎 Keep Emails and Attachments Together Package the email PDF and downloadable original attachments into a ZIP file for convenient archiving.

Other attachment formats can be preserved as original files in the ZIP. 📐 Flexible Page and Layout Settings Choose A4, Letter, and other paper sizes. Adjust portrait or landscape orientation, margins, and text size. Start each message on a new page or use a continuous long-page format for longer content. 🏷️ Custom Export Filenames Build filenames using the email subject, sender, date, time, message count, and other fields. Make downloaded files easier to find, sort, and organize. 📝 Choose What to Include Control whether your PDF includes sender and recipient details, dates, quoted replies, available inline images, and supported attachments. 🔒 Local Conversion Email content and attachments are processed locally in your browser.

Yes. Open the individual message’s More menu and choose “Save this email as PDF.” Can I export multiple emails at once? Yes. Select up to 50 conversations in the email list. Each conversation is saved as a separate file during batch export. Are attachments included in the PDF? When “Include attachments” is enabled, supported images and PDF attachments can be appended to the email PDF. Other formats can be saved as original files in a ZIP. Availability depends on the file’s condition and your account’s access permissions. Can I change filenames and paper sizes? Yes. Configure the filename template, paper size, orientation, and other layout options in the extension settings. Saved preferences apply to subsequent exports. Can I create a continuous long-page PDF? Yes. Enable “Fit content on one page” in the export options. Very long content remains subject to the browser’s PDF page-size limits. Can I read downloaded files offline? Yes. Once generated and downloaded, PDFs can be opened locally without signing in to Gmail again. Retrieving emails or attachments that have not yet loaded still requires an internet connection. Does the extension upload my emails or attachments? No. Conversion happens locally in your browser. The extension does not automatically upload emails, attachments, or generated PDFs to a conversion service. Why are some images or attachments missing? An image or attachment may not have loaded, its link may have expired, access may be restricted, or its format may not support conversion. Check that the file can be viewed or downloaded in Gmail, then adjust the export options and try again.
