Article to PDF
Article to PDF — The Original Page, Printed in Bulk
Paste public article links — one per line. We print each page to PDF exactly as it’s published: original layout, images, everything a browser can print. One URL downloads as a PDF; a list downloads as a ZIP. No signup for a single article.
One URL per line — a single URL downloads as PDF, multiple URLs download as a ZIP. ArticleSift works with publicly accessible article URLs.
Process
How it works
-
Paste the article link
Copy the URL of a publicly accessible article and paste it above.
-
We print the page as-is
A real browser opens the public page and prints it to PDF — original layout, nothing extracted, nothing removed.
-
Download your PDF
One URL gives you one PDF; a batch gives you a ZIP — with a _failed.txt listing any page that didn’t convert, and why.
Batch beats tabs
Why batch beats Ctrl+P
Ctrl+P works — one open tab at a time. ArticleSift is for the reading list: paste 20 URLs, get 20 PDFs, no tab juggling. The output is the browser print of the original page — the same thing you’d get printing it yourself, done for you in bulk.
- One PDF per URL; batches download as a single ZIP
- The original page as published — layout and images included, nothing stripped or reformatted
- Up to 50 URLs per batch for signed-in users
- Honest failures: a page that can’t convert is flagged with the reason in _failed.txt — never silently dropped

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I turn an article into a PDF?
Paste the article URL into the box above and click Convert to PDF. A real browser prints the original public page to PDF — you get the page as published, not a reformatted extract. Single-article conversion is free and needs no signup.
Is ArticleSift free?
Yes, for single articles: 5 free conversions a day without an account, 20 a month with a free account. Batch jobs use paid credits, starting at $9 for 100 articles.
Do I need to sign up?
Not for a single article. An account adds conversion history, retries, saved preferences, and access to batch printing.
Can you convert paywalled or login-only articles?
No. We cannot access login-only, paywalled, or CAPTCHA-protected content, and we don't try to bypass access controls. If a page isn't publicly accessible, we tell you why the conversion failed instead of handing you a broken PDF.
What does the PDF look like?
Exactly what the public page looks like printed from a browser: the original layout and images, with the page's own print styling. We don't extract, reformat, or remove anything — if the published page shows menus or ads, they'll print too.
How do I download an article as a PDF to keep?
Convert it here, then save the file. Anonymous results stay downloadable for 24 hours; a free account keeps your history for 7 days, and paid plans keep PDFs for 90 days.
Can I convert news articles to PDF?
Yes, if the story is publicly accessible — a common way to archive articles before they change or disappear.
Do you offer an API or browser extension?
Not today. Business and API access are on the waitlist — join it from the pricing page.
