Turn any webpage into a clean PDF that looks exactly right

You need a copy of a webpage that won’t change or disappear: a confirmation page, an article you plan to cite, a job posting that could be taken down tomorrow, a landing page you want to reference long after the next redesign. The browser’s built-in print-to-PDF was never built for that job. It runs the page through print stylesheets, drops images that haven’t loaded yet, and breaks layouts in odd places.

Marqly handles it differently. Click the extension, and the page is captured as a clean PDF that matches what’s actually on your screen — lazy-loaded images included — processed locally in your browser. This page explains what the capture does and why it lives inside a bookmark manager; if you want the click-by-click walkthrough instead, that’s in how to save a webpage as a PDF.

A capture that matches your screen

Print-to-PDF renders the page through its print stylesheet, and on most sites the print stylesheet is an afterthought. Sidebars collapse into the main column, custom fonts fall back to defaults, dark themes invert into unreadable gray, and multi-column layouts split mid-sentence across page breaks. The result is technically a PDF of the page, but it doesn’t look like the page you meant to keep.

Marqly’s capture is screen-faithful. It records the page as it renders in your browser, so the layout you see is the layout you get. For a design reference, a formatted article, or any page where the visual arrangement carries meaning, that difference is the whole point. You’re not archiving a text dump; you’re keeping the page.

Lazy-loaded images make it into the file

Modern pages don’t load their images up front. They load them as you scroll, which saves bandwidth for the site but sabotages naive capture tools: hit print on a long article without scrolling to the bottom first, and half the images come out as blank placeholders.

Marqly’s capture includes lazy-loaded images. A 4,000-word article with thirty photos comes out with thirty photos, not thirty gray boxes and a note to self to redo it. If you’ve ever manually scrolled an entire page bottom-to-top before printing just to force the images in, this is the step you get to stop doing.

Processed locally, so there’s nothing to wait on

The conversion happens in your browser. The page isn’t shipped off to a third-party conversion server and queued behind someone else’s batch job — the extension does the work on your machine, and the capture is done when the click is done.

Local processing keeps the flow simple: no upload step, no external service between you and the file. It’s the same reason the capture is fast enough to use casually — for receipts and reference pages, not just the occasional big archive job.

The PDF lands in a library, not a downloads folder

A folder of files named download (14).pdf is where saved pages go to be lost. With Marqly, the capture is a save like any other: AI tags it automatically, so there’s no manual filing, and semantic search finds it later by description — “the pricing page with the comparison table” works even when you never gave the file a name. That search-by-meaning behavior is covered in how to search bookmarks with AI.

You can also group captures with related links and highlights on a board — one place for everything attached to a project. See what boards are for how that works.

Getting started

Install the Marqly extension — it’s available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari — and create a free account at app.marqly.com. No credit card required; the plan details are in is Marqly free.

Then open the page you want to keep and save it as a PDF from the extension. The short version of the mechanics is in the FAQ: how do I save a page as a PDF. That’s the whole setup — there is no configuration step, no template to pick, no output settings to tune.

Who this is not for

Honest fit check. Marqly is not a batch converter: there’s no public API, so if your job is turning a spreadsheet of 500 URLs into 500 PDFs on a schedule, you want a dedicated conversion service. It’s not a PDF editor either — you can’t rearrange pages, fill forms, or annotate inside the file after capture. And Marqly has no offline reading mode, so don’t pick it as an offline-first reading app.

Where it fits: you regularly hit pages worth keeping exactly as they look, and you want each one captured in a click and filed somewhere you can actually search. If that’s the job, the capture quality — screen-faithful, images included, processed locally — is hard to beat with a print dialog.
