Any web page or text, as a clean document
Send a URL, HTML or Markdown and get back a PDF, Word, Markdown or JSON file, with the ads and clutter removed. Use our HTML to PDF API from your code, or our MCP server from an AI agent.
100 documents a month. No credit card required.
Why choose us
A plain REST API that works from any programming language, with the result in the same request or in the background.
Clean output
- Removes ads, menus and other non-content elements from web pages.
- Keeps headings, tables and images, and links stay active in the PDF.
- Formats the content for print, on Letter or A4 pages.
Options
- Put a logo or a line of text above the title.
- Apply your own CSS to PDF and HTML output with a stylesheet address.
- Run slow pages in the background and get a webhook when they finish.
Security and billing
- Every request and response uses HTTPS.
- Files we make are deleted from our servers within 48 hours.
- Only successful documents count toward your plan. A failed request costs nothing.
API features
One REST API for PDF, Word, Markdown and JSON, and an MCP server so AI agents can use it too.
PDF, Word or HTML
One call makes a PDF, a Word file or a standalone HTML page from a web page address, your own HTML or Markdown. Ads and clutter are removed, and links stay active.
Markdown and JSON for AI
Get the article as clean Markdown, or as JSON with its title, author, date, excerpt and main image. Your agent or pipeline reads the text, not a page full of markup.
MCP server for agents
One URL and your API key connect Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or your own agent. It reads a page as clean Markdown and creates documents, and a free key is enough to start.
Set up the MCP serverWordPress and the Print Button
Standard, custom and WooCommerce templates all work, and links on the page stay active in the PDF. Want no code? Add the Print Button or the WordPress plugin.
Built for assistants, apps and developers
Three ways to put PrintFriendly to work, from no setup at all to a full API.
Use PrintFriendly in Claude and other AI assistants
Add the PrintFriendly connector, then ask your assistant to print a page or make a PDF for you. When it asks for a connector address, use:
https://www.printfriendly.com/api/mcpSet up the connectorLink to a clean page from any assistant or app
Send people to this address and they get a clean, printable version of any public web page, with no account. Put the page's address after url=:
https://www.printfriendly.com/print?url=<page url>Build with the API
Create a free key, send it in an Authorization: Bearer header, and turn web pages, HTML or Markdown into PDF, Word and more. The free plan includes 100 documents a month and needs no credit card.
Building an AI agent? Give it the same key through the MCP server.

Frequently Asked Questions
Check out these commonly asked questions and answers about our service.
Which formats can I get?
PDF, Word, Markdown, JSON, HTML and plain text. Send a web page address, HTML or Markdown, choose the format, and you get it back in one call.
Can AI agents use the API?
Yes. Our MCP server at mcp.printfriendly.com lets Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and your own agents read clean pages and create documents. It uses the same API key and plan as the REST API.
Can I go back to the Free plan?
Yes, anytime, from your API key page. You keep your paid plan until the end of the period you've paid for. Then the same key carries on with the Free plan's 100 documents a month.
What privacy practices are in place for the API?
We do not share or sell your data. Uploaded files and the files we produce are automatically deleted from our servers within 48 hours.
How secure is your API?
We use HTTPS to receive and send your data, and files we make are deleted from our servers within 48 hours. A file link works for anyone who has it until then, so share it with care.
