How do I save a Medium article as a PDF?

Save a free, public Medium story as a clean PDF for offline reading or archiving. Paste the article link, choose PDF, and download the text without the claps, floating bars, and sign-up popups.

Your file is ready Download

Copy the Medium story URL, paste it into the converter above, choose PDF, and click convert. The tool fetches the article, removes the header, clap bar, and popups, and lays out the readable text in a clean PDF. It works on free, publicly readable stories; member-only articles behind Medium's paywall cannot be fully accessed.

How it works

Copy the story URL

Open the Medium article in your browser and copy its full address. Publications on custom domains work too.

Paste it and pick PDF

Paste the link into the field above and select PDF as the output format.

Convert the article

Click convert. The tool fetches the story, removes the clap bar and popups, and builds a clean, readable PDF.

Download and read offline

Download the PDF to read later, print, or archive.

Frequently asked questions

Can it save member-only or paywalled stories?

No. Member-only articles are locked behind Medium's paywall, so a logged-out request sees only a preview. The tool can capture free, publicly readable stories in full.

Does it work with publications on custom domains?

Yes. Many Medium publications use their own domain. As long as the article is free and public, the tool extracts it the same way.

Will code blocks and images come through?

The PDF focuses on the readable text and headings. Inline images and embeds are generally dropped; code shown as text usually comes through but may lose its formatting.

Will it look exactly like the Medium page?

No. It produces a clean, text-first layout rather than a pixel-perfect copy, with the header, clap bar, and popups removed.

Can I get Word or plain text instead?

Yes. The converter also outputs .docx and .txt. Choose Word to edit the article or text for a quick copy and paste.

Is it free and private?

Yes, it is free with no signup and no browser extension. Files are processed temporarily to build your download and are not stored long term.
