Today we're launching WebSave, a JavaScript library that adds PDF and image export capabilities to any website with just a few lines of code.
Why We Built This
Web applications have become increasingly sophisticated, yet exporting their content remains surprisingly difficult. Browser print produces broken layouts with missing backgrounds and awkward page breaks. Server-side PDF generation requires significant backend infrastructure. Screenshot tools require manual scrolling and stitching for long pages.
WebSave solves this with a simple client-side library that adds export buttons to any website. Users click, and they get a professional PDF or image that preserves all styling and layout perfectly.
What Makes It Different
WebSave is purely client-side JavaScript - no server modifications needed. Add the script, configure a button, and your users can export any page on your site. The conversion happens through the PDFCrowd service, producing professional results without the complexity of traditional approaches.
The library handles modern web applications elegantly. It works with your existing authentication, respects your current page state, and can even preserve user-entered form data when needed. Whether you're exporting a product page, a report, or a complex dashboard, WebSave captures it exactly as displayed.
Real-World Impact
WebSave can be used for a wide range of content types. Product sheets can be downloaded instantly by sales teams. Professional profiles can be saved as polished PDF resumes. Articles and blog posts can be exported for offline reading with perfect formatting. Reports can be converted to client-ready documents without additional development. Certificates can be generated as official records suitable for framing or filing.
Looking Forward
WebSave is available now as part of the PDFCrowd platform, which has been handling document conversion at scale for over a decade. The library represents our vision for how web export should work: invisible to developers, intuitive for users, and respectful of existing application architecture.
We believe the best tools are ones that solve real problems without adding complexity. WebSave embodies this philosophy by turning a common frustration into a solved problem with minimal integration effort.
