Practical export jobs
When saving Gmail as PDF is more useful than printing one message
PDF My Email is built for selected, user-started exports. Use Gmail labels, searches, or checkboxes to create the set you need, then turn those conversations into files you can organize outside the inbox.
Collect the messages behind each transaction
Select invoice emails, payment confirmations, and receipt threads, then export the conversations and their available attachments together. Custom filenames make the resulting records easier to sort by date, sender, or subject.
Compare free and Pro limitsBuilt from the real extension workflow
Gmail to PDF features for controlled, repeatable exports
Choose what to export, how the PDFs should be organized, and what happens to attachments before your browser writes anything to your device.
Separate or merged PDFs
Create an individual PDF for each successful conversation or combine the completed PDFs into one dated document. Separate output with remaining attachments is packaged as a ZIP.
Two attachment modes
Keep original attachments in the ZIP, or append supported PDF, PNG, and JPEG files as pages. Files that cannot be appended stay separate when they can be downloaded.
Useful filename templates
Build names from date, sender, and subject. The extension sanitizes invalid filename characters and resolves duplicates so one export does not overwrite another.
Browser-native PDF output
The extension prepares Gmail's print view and uses the Chromium browser's PDF printing engine, with background graphics, selectable text where the browser provides it, and optional page numbers.
Local content path
Selected message content, attachments, and generated PDFs stay in the browser workflow. Account, plan, and usage checks are separate backend requests and do not need the email body or generated file.
Browser compatibility
Works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and Chromium Browsers
PDF My Email uses the Chromium extension platform. Browser support is broader than Chrome, while the email service it integrates with remains Gmail on the desktop web.
One Chromium extension workflow
Use the same Gmail selection, PDF settings, attachment options, and export progress flow in supported Chromium browsers. Installation and extension-management screens can vary by browser.
Built specifically for Gmail
Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Opera compatibility does not turn the product into a general email converter. The extension works with Gmail's desktop web interface, not Outlook or Apple Mail.
The local content path stays the same
Changing Chromium browsers does not change the processing boundary: selected email content and generated files remain in the browser workflow, separate from account and plan requests.
How to save Gmail as PDF
Convert selected Gmail emails to PDF in three steps
Convert Gmail to PDF in a supported desktop Chromium browser after you choose the conversations and start the export. The extension does not begin before you make a selection.
- 01
Select Gmail conversations
Open Gmail in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, or another compatible desktop Chromium browser. Select up to 3 conversations in a free batch or any number with Pro, subject to browser memory and device performance, or export the conversation currently open.
- 02
Choose PDF and attachment settings
Pick separate or merged output, paper size, orientation, margins, scale, page numbers, quoted replies, filename rules, and how supported attachments should be handled.
- 03
Run and review the download
PDF My Email processes each conversation, shows progress, and lets you cancel between items. Review the PDF or ZIP and retry any conversation that reports a failure.
Know what you will receive
Choose the Gmail PDF output that fits the next task
The same Gmail selection can produce different files. Decide whether you need independent records, one review document, or an archive that keeps original attachments.
One PDF per conversation
Best when each Gmail thread belongs in a different folder or record. If original attachments are included, the PDFs and files are delivered together in a ZIP.
One PDF for the successful batch
Best when someone needs to read selected conversations in sequence. If one conversation fails, check the completion summary because the merged document contains only successful items.
Original files or appended pages
Preserve original attachment formats in the ZIP, or append compatible PDF and image files to the email PDF. Other formats remain separate rather than being converted inaccurately.
Paper and page controls
Choose A3, A4, A5, B4, B5, Letter, Legal, or Ledger, then set orientation, margins, scale, page numbers, and whether quoted replies should appear.
Visible completion and failure states
The export dialog tracks each conversation, distinguishes completed and failed items, supports cancellation between emails, and reports the filename produced for successful work.
A selected export, not mailbox backup
PDF My Email does not silently crawl Gmail, schedule future exports, copy every Drive-linked file, or certify records for legal, tax, HR, or regulatory compliance.
Gmail to PDF FAQ
Questions about exporting Gmail emails as PDF
Direct answers about batch size, attachments, privacy, output quality, and platform limits.
How do I convert Gmail to PDF?
Open Gmail in a supported Chromium browser such as Chrome or Edge, select the conversations you want, choose PDF and attachment settings in PDF My Email, and start the export. Your browser creates the PDF files and saves the finished PDF or ZIP to your device.
Can I save multiple Gmail emails as PDF at once?
Yes. The free plan supports up to 3 selected conversations per batch, while Pro has no plan-level batch limit. Very large jobs still depend on browser memory and device performance, especially when merging into one PDF.
Can PDF My Email include Gmail attachments?
Yes. You can keep original attachments beside the email PDF in a ZIP. PDF, PNG, and JPEG attachments can also be appended as pages; unsupported or unavailable files remain separate when possible.
Are my Gmail messages uploaded to PDF My Email?
The selected email content, attachments, and generated PDF are processed in the browser and are not sent to the PDF My Email backend. Account, plan, and usage requests are handled separately and require an internet connection.
Does the extension preserve Gmail formatting?
PDF My Email prepares Gmail's print view and uses the Chromium browser's PDF printing engine. This preserves the available message layout, text, links, and inline images, but complex messages and content that Gmail has not loaded should be checked after export.
What PDF settings can I change?
You can choose A3, A4, A5, B4, B5, Letter, Legal, or Ledger paper, portrait or landscape orientation, margins, scale, page numbers, quoted replies, output mode, attachment handling, and a filename template.
Which browsers support PDF My Email?
PDF My Email supports compatible desktop Chromium browsers, including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Opera. Available installation steps can differ by browser.
Does PDF My Email work with every email service?
No. Browser support includes Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and other compatible Chromium browsers, but the current extension is built specifically for the Gmail web interface. It is not an Outlook, Apple Mail, or uploaded-file converter.
Is PDF My Email a Gmail backup or compliance system?
No. It exports conversations you explicitly select. It does not automatically crawl your mailbox, enforce retention policies, create a legal hold, or certify that an archive meets a regulatory standard.
