Does this work on every Wikipedia article?
Yes — works on every article on every language Wikipedia (English, Spanish, French, German, etc.). The Wikipedia API is public and consistent across all 300+ language versions.
Why save Wikipedia articles
Four common reasons. Offline reading. Save articles for plane flights, weak wifi, or just faster access without browser overhead. Research and citation. Build a personal library of reference articles with citations preserved. PDFs are searchable with Ctrl+F. Education. Teachers and students save articles as PDFs for classroom handouts, study materials, research projects. Archive. Wikipedia articles change constantly. If you need a specific version (especially for citation in research), the PDF captures the article at save time.
How we convert Wikipedia to PDF
Wikipedia exposes its content via a public REST API. For each article, we fetch: the article text (in wiki Markdown), images, infoboxes, references, and metadata. We convert wiki Markdown to clean HTML/PDF, embedding images and formatting infoboxes as tables. References become a numbered list at the end. The output preserves the structure: lead paragraph, table of contents (auto-generated for long articles), all sections, all subsections, all images, infoboxes, references, external links.
Privacy and how we handle your data
We don't log Wikipedia URLs. We don't store articles. We don't require account creation. When you paste a URL, we fetch the article via Wikipedia's public API and render the PDF in your browser. The article never lands on our disk.
What languages work?
All 300+ Wikipedia languages. English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, etc. The article URL includes the language code (en.wikipedia.org, es.wikipedia.org, etc.).
Does it preserve references and citations?
Yes — references are preserved as a numbered list at the end of the PDF. Each footnote reference in the body links to its full citation in the references section.
