How to convert your link
Find the file address
Copy a public HTTPS link that serves the file itself. A page containing a Download button may be HTML; open or copy the actual file link instead. The address does not have to end in .pdf if it returns a PDF.
Open and preview it
Paste the URL and convert. The converter follows public redirects and checks the file contents. Existing PDFs stay PDFs, while PNG and JPEG images are placed on PDF pages.
Choose the output
Give the file a name. Leave Pages empty for the whole document, or enter a selection such as 1, 4-7. Download the PDF for offline use.
A file URL is different from a website URL
This is not an HTML-to-PDF browser or a website screenshot service. Blog posts, dashboards, product pages and other arbitrary HTML pages are not converted. Use your browser’s print-to-PDF function for those pages.
Supported document-sharing services use their own adapters. If your link opens DocSend, Speaker Deck, Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, Drive or Dropbox, use the matching page below to understand its permissions and export behavior.
Public access, redirects and limits
The link must work without your browser’s login cookies. URLs with embedded usernames or passwords, local files and private network addresses are rejected. An expired signed URL needs a fresh link from its source.
Native files must be at most 12 MB. PDFs may contain up to 500 pages, and images are limited to 16 megapixels each. An unsupported response produces an error rather than a PDF of an access-denied page.
Why a link may not convert
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| The URL opens a normal website | Copy the actual PDF, PNG or JPEG file URL. For an article or dashboard, use browser printing or an HTML-to-PDF tool. |
| The URL opens a supported sharing service | Use the matching provider guide below. A sharing page and a direct file are retrieved differently. |
| The URL requires sign-in or has expired | Obtain a current public file link, or download through your authorized session and choose Upload a file. |
| The filename says PDF but the response is HTML | An access-denied or download landing page is not a PDF. The converter checks the actual file contents. |
Common questions
Does a link have to end in .pdf?
No. The actual file contents determine whether it is supported. A download endpoint without a file extension can work if it returns a public PDF, PNG or JPEG.
Will a private or localhost URL work?
No. Link conversion is for publicly reachable HTTPS files. If you already have the file and permission to use it, choose Upload a file to process it in your browser.
Is my link published or added to the sitemap?
No. Submitted links are not turned into public pages or added to the sitemap.
