Gmail to PDF — With Attachments

Gmail's print-to-PDF drops your attachments. ThreadPDF keeps them — the original files bundled alongside the exported emails.

Don't Lose the Attachments

Gmail's built-in Print to PDF captures the body of an email but never its attachments. For invoices, contracts, and records, that's a problem — the attached file is often the part that matters most, and you'd have to download every attachment by hand.

ThreadPDF exports your selected Gmail threads to PDF and keeps the original attachments with them. You get the email as a PDF plus the attached files bundled together, so the full conversation — message and files — stays in one place.

As with everything ThreadPDF does, the conversion runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so you can export sensitive emails and their attachments without them leaving your machine. Export threads as separate PDFs or merge them into one with a table of contents.

Emails and Their Files, Together
