Free Convert Webpages or HTML File to PDF Using the Free Webpage to PDF Converter on Windows Mac Linux

I recently was trying to convert a web page to PDF and I was wondering around on Google for a free web page to PDF converter, but all I found were junks. None of  them create a clean PDF file but they add watermarks or footers and headers or remove the background graphics. I also tried Firefox add-ons to no luck. I just want a pure PDF converter to convert whole web pages or HTML files to PDF with background graphics along with the links.

And I am here to share my experience of how to free convert any web page or local HTML file to PDF free with/without footers, headers and background graphics. No watermark!

Google Chrome is my default browser on both Windows and Mac. I like it very much because of tons of extensions. With a total of 55.04% market share according to the most recent report (Browser Market Share Worldwide – December 2017) from statcounter.com. 

After almost two hours try, I finally found a fairly easy and free way to convert web pages to PDF using Google Chrome. Working as a free webpage to PDF converter, there is no add-ons or plugins required to do so. No login is required to convert either.
