Step 2: Copy the page URL

Once published, you can get the URL by clicking the Copy site link button, or by clicking View site and copying the URL from your browser's address bar. The URL will look something like https://yourname.notion.site/Page-Title-abc123.

Paste the URL in the field above. Optionally, expand "Customize PDF" to adjust the page size, fonts, margins, and other settings to match your preferences.

Step 4: Generate and download

Click "Generate PDF" and wait a few seconds. Your PDF will automatically download, preserving your Notion page's formatting, images, and layout.

Example

Here's a comparison between Notion's default PDF export and our customized export from this Notion page. The page has a two-column layout with images, so the default settings didn't produce the best result. Both PDFs were scaled to 80% for better comparison.

Do you preserve the formatting and layout of my page?
