Save an Android print job as a PDF directly from the Print menu.

Every Android app that already routes through Print — browsers, mail, PDF readers, Drive — can hand the rendered page to Pikselmark. Pikselmark adds a Save as PDF row to the service selector and writes a single file into the folder you pick.

Android ships a built-in Print menu that lives behind Share → Print in Chrome, the menu in Drive, the “Print this email” option in Gmail, and the print action in nearly every PDF viewer. Apps hand the rendered page to the operating system, and Android shows a service selector — “Save as PDF”, your printer, and now Pikselmark.

Pikselmark installs as an Android PrintService, which is the only way to add a destination to that selector without root or a custom ROM. Once installed, any print-capable app that already routes through Print can hand its rendered page to Pikselmark. The printing side never changes — you still tap Print — only the destination does.

Rendering runs entirely on your device. There is no upload, no account, and no subscription to use Pikselmark: ten free exports across every format, and the eleventh opens a single one-time US-dollar unlock. PDF sits next to PNG, JPEG, and SVG in the service selector — pick it when you want one file with every page inside, rather than a numbered sequence of images.

The three steps

From Print menu to saved PDF file.

  1. 01

    Open the page you want to save, tap Print

    Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave — load the page, ticket, or document you want to keep, then tap the browser menu and Print (or Share → Print). The same Print action appears in Drive, Gmail, and most PDF readers.

  2. 02

    Pick Save as PDF in the format row

    Android shows a service selector. Pikselmark adds a Save as PDF row alongside PNG, JPEG, and SVG. Tap it and Android hands the rendered page to Pikselmark on-device — no upload, no third-party converter.

  3. 03

    Pick a folder, save

    Pikselmark shows the Storage Access Framework folder picker. Pick the folder, tap Use this folder, and Pikselmark writes a single multi-page PDF — one file per print, not one file per page.

The same Print selector also handles the image formats — the full Print → PNG guide walks a webpage through the same menu when lossless matters. Or jump straight to the pricing page to see how the free tier and the one-time unlock fit together.
