How do I save a Substack post as a PDF?

Archive a Substack newsletter post as a clean, readable PDF you can keep, print, or reference later. Paste the public post link, pick PDF, and download just the article without the subscribe prompts and clutter.

Your file is ready Download

Copy the public Substack post URL, paste it into the converter above, choose PDF, and click convert. The tool fetches the post, strips out the header, subscribe boxes, and comment widgets, and builds a clean PDF of the article text to download. It works on public posts; subscriber-only posts behind a paywall cannot be read.

How it works

1

Copy the post link

Open the Substack post in your browser and copy its URL. Custom-domain newsletters work too, as long as the post is public.

2

Paste it and pick PDF

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

3

Convert the post

Click convert. The tool fetches the post, removes the header and subscribe boxes, and builds a clean PDF of the article.

4

Download and archive

Download the PDF to read offline, print, or keep in your files.
