Convert Gmail™ to PDF (locally) is a Chrome extension designed to help you save and backup your emails efficiently and securely. It adds two buttons to your Gmail interface: an orange "simple" mode button that creates distraction-free PDFs by removing images and lines for easy reading, and a blue "normal" mode button that generates standard PDF documents.

This extension ensures your privacy by performing all PDF conversions locally using the jsPDF JavaScript library, with no server interaction involved. It also supports bulk conversion, allowing you to select multiple email threads and convert them all at once. Additional features include customizable filenames, the ability to hide mode buttons, embedded popular fonts for enhanced PDF appearance, and compatibility with multiple logged-in Gmail accounts. This tool is ideal for users seeking a private, efficient, and user-friendly way to archive their Gmail messages as PDFs.

Love this extension, as it saves so much time (particularly the simple print mode) but currently neither button are showing, even with a fresh install of firefox and the extension. Hopefully it's just a bug that gets fixed in an update!

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Convert Gmail™ to PDF (locally) requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
