NerdPerfect Printer

Clean, readable printouts of web articles. Two clicks: extract the article, reflow it, print. All local — nothing collected.

Print the article, not the ads. Chrome's built-in print often clips text at the page edges and lets ads, cookie banners, and sticky headers land on top of the article. NerdPerfect Printer extracts just the article — title, byline, text, and images — and reflows it into a clean single-column layout that prints properly. Two clicks, done: 1. Click the NerdPerfect Printer icon. A live preview shows exactly what will print, with page breaks marked. 2. Click "Print all" — or "Print first sheet" to fit the article onto a single sheet of paper (both sides on a double-sided printer, one side otherwise). The normal system print dialog opens; confirm and you're done. FEATURES - Live print preview with adjustable font size (6–36 pt) - Keep the site's own font, or switch to a clean serif - "Print first sheet" trims the article to exactly one sheet of paper, ending with … and the source URL - Select text first and NerdPerfect Printer prints exactly your selection - Comments are excluded from article printouts (optional "Print comments" setting appends them) - Dark-mode sites print black-on-white - Images included, scaled to the page, never split across pages - Source URL and date printed at the end - Right-click menu: "Print page / selection with NerdPerfect Printer" SETTINGS, EXPLAINED - "Print comments" (off by default) — appends the page's comment threads after the article, under a "Comments" heading; comments never appear inside the article itself. Tip: only comments already loaded in the page can print, so on sites that load comments as you scroll, scroll through them first, then print. - "Print preview size" — sets the paper size the preview uses to show page breaks. It does not choose the paper you print on — pick that in the system print dialog, as usual. - "Double-sided printer" (on by default) — tells "Print first sheet" how much fits on one physical sheet: two pages if your printer prints both sides, one if it doesn't. PRIVATE - Everything runs locally in your browser - No account, no sign-in, no cloud - No analytics, no network requests - Stores only your five display preferences (font size, serif toggle, paper size, double-sided flag, print-comments flag) — never any page content, URLs, or history Article extraction is powered by Mozilla's open-source Readability (the Firefox Reader View engine).
