PrintFriendly in ChatGPT

Ask ChatGPT to print a web page and a clean preview appears right in the chat, without the ads, pop-ups and navigation. Print it, save it as a PDF, or open it full screen to remove the parts you don't want first.

Connecting

Add PrintFriendly in ChatGPT, or open the directory of apps and connectors in ChatGPT, find PrintFriendly, and turn it on. You can start using it right away, without signing in.

Then just paste a link in the chat and ask. The PrintFriendly card appears in the conversation with everything you need.

What to Ask

Paste a link and say what you want. PrintFriendly works on public web pages, the same as printfriendly.com.

“Print this recipe without all the ads”, with the link. You get a print preview with Print and Download PDF buttons.
“Save this article as a PDF.” PrintFriendly makes the PDF and gives you a link to it.
“Show me this page without the ads.” You get the same clean preview.

Print opens the PDF in your browser, ready to print. Download PDF saves it. On iPhone and iPad, the PDF opens in ChatGPT's viewer: tap Share, then Print.

Editing Before You Print

Select Customize on the preview to open it full screen. From there you can:

Turn on Delete and click any part of the page to remove it, such as an author bio or a list of related links. Undo brings back the last thing you removed.
Make the text smaller or larger.
Show or hide the images.
Choose Letter or A4 paper.

Print and Download PDF use exactly what you see.

Signing In

You can print 5 pages without an account. A page counts once, when you ask ChatGPT to print it or make a PDF of it: the preview's Print and Download PDF buttons, and asking for the same page again, don't count.

When you ask for a new page after that, ChatGPT asks you to sign in to PrintFriendly. Sign in with your PrintFriendly account, or create one, and keep going.

Common Questions

Does PrintFriendly see my conversation?#

No. ChatGPT sends us only the address of the page you asked about. We don't receive the rest of the chat. Our privacy policy has the details.

A page won't print, or comes out wrong#

PrintFriendly fetches the public version of the page, so anything behind a login or a paywall, or a site that blocks automated visitors, may come out empty or partial. Some pages are also refused by our content-safety checks. Try the same link on printfriendly.com; if it's wrong there too, the troubleshooting page covers the usual causes.

ChatGPT says I've reached the limit for now#

There is an hourly limit on how often PrintFriendly can be used, to keep it fast for everyone. Wait a little while and try again. Signing in gives you a limit of your own.

How long do PDFs stay available?#

48 hours. Download the PDF if you want to keep it, or ask ChatGPT to make it again.

How do I disconnect or sign out?#

Remove or turn off PrintFriendly in ChatGPT's app and connector settings. Changing your PrintFriendly password also signs out every chat connection, within the hour.

Something else? Contact support and include the address of the page you were printing.
