Privacy & Permissions

Permissions and Why They Matter

When an extension works in Chrome, it needs certain permissions. We use only what is really required, nothing more.

Basic permissions

  1. Access to the current tab (activeTab)
    This allows the extension to know which page you want to convert. The access is temporary – it works only when you press the extension button.
  2. Work with tabs (tabs)
    This permission helps the extension talk to your browser. For example, it can open the PDF after it is created or detect which page is active.
  3. Downloads permission
    The PDF is saved directly on your computer. The process is direct – no outside servers, no third parties. You choose where to keep the file and can use it offline.

Advanced permissions

  1. Access to all sites
    This makes it possible to convert any webpage. Important: the extension does not store your history and does not send page addresses to any servers.
  2. Storage permission
    For your comfort, the extension remembers your last export settings – like page size, margins, or orientation – so you do not need to set them every time.
  3. Scripting permission
    Scripts are used only to prepare the page before creating a PDF. This way, text, layout, and images look the same as they do in your browser.

How Your Data Is Handled

  • Local work. Everything happens in your browser, not on our servers.
  • No personal data collected. We do not access your history, passwords, or private details.
  • No third-party analytics. The extension does not include trackers or ads.
  • Your files stay yours. The final PDF is saved only on your device, in the folder you choose.

Why It Is Safe

Minimal access only

The extension does not ask for more than it needs. Every permission has a clear reason, and nothing extra is included.

No secret activity

HTML to PDF works only when you press the button. It does not run in the background, and it never tracks what you do online.

Transparent process

You always see what is happening: open a page, click, and get your PDF. The steps are simple, visible, and under your control.

Reliable result

Your PDF looks the same as the page you saved – with text, layout, and images in place. No data leaves your browser in the process.

Conclusion

HTML to PDF is a clear and safe tool for turning web pages into PDF files.

  • It asks only for the permissions that are needed.
  • It does not use outside servers or collect your data.
  • It respects the privacy of every user.

Your documents stay only with you. One click is enough to get a perfect PDF.
