How to create a PDF of a webpage for offline reading on iPhone and iPad

Last updated 2 years ago

One of the easiest ways to read articles offline is to save them as a PDF, and thanks to a handy feature provided by Apple, it's effortless to do on your iPhone and iPad.

Saving a webpage as a PDF ensures that you'll be able to read an article while offline, but it also is advantageous if you wish to share it or view it on another device.

The whole process is surprisingly easy and only requires a single app — Safari.

How to save a webpage as a PDF on iOS 15 or iPadOS 15

In Safari, navigate to the webpage or article you'd like to save
Tap the Share button
At the top of the window that appears, tap Options
Tap PDF

After you have selected PDF as the share format, you can share or save it the same way you do other files. For example, you can AirDrop it to your other Apple devices, send it to yourself or another person via iMessage, email it, or save it to your device's Files app.
