The itch
Research online used to mean dozens of open tabs, endless copy-pasting, and sources that got lost along the way. We wanted the shortest path from reading something worth keeping to having it in a clean document.
About
Small tools for people who work with the web
Select to PDF is a privacy-first Chrome extension built by a small team that believes good tools stay out of your way.
The fix
Select text on any page, right-click, and it is saved with its formatting and source link intact. Tag it, reorder it, and export a polished PDF or Markdown file in one click.
The rule
A tool for collecting your research should not be reading it. Everything happens locally in your browser: no servers, no accounts, no tracking.
Collecting content from the web should be effortless, and it should be nobody's business but yours.
100%

Our principles
What we believe
Three rules we hold ourselves to with everything we ship.
Privacy by default
Your data stays on your device. Not because a policy says so, but because there is no server for it to go to.
Zero friction
No onboarding, no account walls, no learning curve. Install it and it just works, right from the first right-click.
Do one thing well
We would rather build a small tool that nails its job than a bloated suite that does everything halfway.
Give it a try
Install Select to PDF and turn your next research session into a clean, shareable document.
