Best PDF Chrome Extensions (2026)
Last updated · picks re-checked against the Chrome Web Store
Most everyday PDF jobs no longer need desktop software. These extensions split into two groups: tools that edit and sign PDFs, and tools that turn a web page into one.
Short answer
WPS PDF covers viewing, editing, filling and signing for free in the browser. Adobe Acrobat is the familiar choice for fill-and-sign, and FireShot or Webpage to PDF are the easiest ways to save a page as a PDF.
How we picked
- • Handles a real PDF task: edit, fill, sign or convert
- • Usable free tier for occasional documents
- • Keeps the workflow inside the browser
- • Clear about uploads for cloud-based conversions
- • Large, active install base on the Chrome Web Store

What to know before choosing
Decide first whether you are working on an existing PDF or creating one from a web page. Editors and page converters are different tools, and most people need one of each at most.
Some PDF extensions upload files to their servers to convert or compress them. For contracts, IDs or financial documents, prefer tools that process locally or use desktop software.
Chrome can already save any page as a PDF through Print, Save as PDF. An extension earns its place when you need full-page capture, editing or signatures.
