The One-Click Way to Save a Whole Gmail Conversation
Gmail can print a single message to PDF, but capturing a long back-and-forth thread cleanly is fiddly: "Print all" stacks everything into one print dialog, attachments are dropped, and you still do it one thread at a time. ThreadPDF gives Gmail the dedicated "download this thread as PDF" button it never shipped with.
Select a conversation, click export, and ThreadPDF renders the full thread — senders, recipients, timestamps, and every message body — into a single PDF in chronological order. If you select several threads at once, you can keep them as separate files or merge them into one PDF with a table of contents.
The conversion happens entirely inside your browser. For privileged, regulated, or simply sensitive correspondence, that on-device model is the core reason to use ThreadPDF instead of a cloud-based exporter that uploads your mail to its servers.
Why Download Gmail Threads With ThreadPDF
Built for the whole-conversation export Gmail makes hard
Full Thread in One PDF
Every reply in the conversation is rendered in chronological order — sender, recipients, timestamps, and message body intact.
On-Device Processing
The PDF is generated in your browser. Your emails are never uploaded to a server, so privileged and regulated mail stays private.
Keep Attachments Together
Bundle the thread's original attachments alongside the exported PDF so the whole conversation stays in one place.
Bulk or Single
Download one thread, or select dozens at once and export them as separate PDFs or one merged file with a table of contents.
No Account Required
Install the extension and start exporting. No sign-up, no email verification, no waiting.
Free to Start
Export up to 5 threads per day on the free tier — plenty for occasional archiving — with an unlimited paid plan for heavy use.

Choose your output
Export as separate PDF files, or merge everything into a single PDF with an automatic table of contents. Keep the original attachments bundled alongside if you need them.
Download to your device
Everything is rendered in your browser and saved straight to your machine. Nothing is uploaded to a server — the conversion is fully on-device.
