What it does
Select to PDF is a Chrome extension for collecting web research. Highlight text on any page, right click, and save. Every snippet keeps its source URL, timestamp, and formatting. Capture screenshots, add tags and notes, search your collection, and export as PDF (with cover page and TOC) or Markdown. Everything stays on your device. No account, no servers, no tracking. Free, with no paid tier. Built for researchers, students, journalists, and anyone who reads a lot online.
Select to PDF is a free Chrome extension that saves selected text and screenshots from any webpage, then exports them as a polished PDF or Markdown file. 100% local and private.
From right-click capture to polished export, every step happens in your browser. Highlight text on any page, right-click, and it lands in your collection. No copy-pasting, no app switching. Every snippet keeps its source URL and timestamp automatically. Bold, italics, links, lists, and code blocks survive intact. Capture visual snapshots of page elements from the same menu. Organize with tags and notes, then find anything with full-text search. Preserves bold, italic, links, lists, and code blocks, not just plain text. Right-click any page element to capture a visual screenshot. Organize snippets with tags and annotations. Filter or search across all fields. Batch-select multiple text…from select-to-pdf.com

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
