Keep the Whole Conversation, Not Just One Message

When you need a record of an email exchange, you usually want the entire thread — every reply, in order — not a screenshot of the latest message. Gmail's print function can do this through "Print all," but it drops attachments and only handles one thread per action.

ThreadPDF saves a Gmail thread as a clean PDF with one click: the full conversation in chronological order, with senders, recipients, and timestamps preserved. Need several threads? Save them as separate PDFs or merge them into one file with a table of contents.

Everything is rendered in your browser. Your email never touches a server, so saving privileged or sensitive threads stays private — and you can bundle the original attachments alongside the PDF.

Why Save Gmail Threads With ThreadPDF

A faithful record of the whole exchange

Complete Conversation

Every message in the thread is captured in order, with sender, recipients, and timestamps — a faithful record, not a fragment.

Local Rendering

The PDF is built in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so even privileged threads stay on your machine.

Attachments Included

Keep the thread's original attachments bundled with the PDF so nothing from the conversation is lost.

One or Many

Save a single thread, or select several and export as separate PDFs or one merged document with a table of contents.

Clean Formatting

Messages render cleanly with their structure intact, ready to archive, share, or file.

Free Tier

Save up to 5 threads per day for free; upgrade for unlimited saves when you need more.

How to Save a Gmail Thread as PDF

Select, export, done

1

Install ThreadPDF and reload Gmail

Add ThreadPDF from the Chrome Web Store — no account or sign-up. Refresh your inbox and an export button appears in the Gmail toolbar.
