Finally! Every other tool failed
I work with a lot of gated research portals and no other extension could grab the PDFs. This one just works.

Saved me so much time
Had a page with 20 PDFs I needed. The bulk ZIP feature downloaded them all in seconds. Exactly what I needed.

Four steps. That's it.
Pin the extension
Install PDF Downloader from the Chrome Web Store and pin it to your toolbar so the icon is always one click away.
Navigate to any PDF page
Open any webpage that contains a PDF — embedded viewers, download portals, research databases, anything.
Click the floating button
A red "Download PDF" button appears on the page the moment a PDF is detected. Click it to save the file instantly.
Or use the popup dashboard
Open the extension popup for a full list of all detected PDFs on the tab. Download individually or bulk-save as ZIP (Pro).
Don't take our word for it.

The floating button is a great touch — no need to open the popup every time. Highly recommend.

Everything in the box.
Once a PDF is detected, a floating download button appears on the page so you can grab it without ever opening the extension popup. The popup gives you a full dashboard of every PDF found on the active tab — download them individually or grab them all at once as a ZIP archive (Pro). No redirects, no file conversion, no quality loss. The file you see is the file you get.
Everything runs locally inside your browser. PDF Downloader never uploads your files, tracks your browsing, or phones home. Free users can download PDFs one at a time. Upgrade to Pro for a one-time $4.99 payment to unlock bulk ZIP downloads and unlimited daily captures.
Honest about the edges.
Works with
- Standard PDF documents served via direct URL
- PDFs embedded in iframes or object tags
- PDFs loaded via background network requests
- View-only and print-protected PDFs accessible in the browser
- PDFs on any domain or web server
Doesn't
- PDFs that require a separate authentication step not completed in the browser
- Encrypted PDFs requiring a password not already provided to the browser
- Firefox, Edge, Safari, and mobile browsers
- Desktop applications or non-web PDF viewers
- PDFs must be loaded by the browser during your session — the extension cannot capture files already cached before installation.
- Encrypted PDFs that prompt for a password before loading cannot be intercepted.
- Currently available for Chrome only — Firefox, Edge, and Safari are not supported.
- Bulk ZIP download is a Pro feature — free users can download PDFs one at a time.
- The extension detects PDFs loaded in the current tab. PDFs in other tabs must be downloaded from those tabs.
