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.
