About Readable Capture PDF

Turn anything you can see in your browser into a clean, searchable PDF your AI tools can actually read. Most "save as PDF" tools — and every screenshot — produce image-only files: a wall of pixels with no real text underneath. AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude can't reliably read those. Readable Capture PDF gives every page a real, selectable text layer, so the PDFs you create can be searched, copied, quoted, and fed straight into AI tools for summarizing, analysis, or Q&A. Draw a rectangle over the content, choose how pages advance (auto-scroll, clicking a "Next" button, or manually), and Readable Capture PDF captures the region page by page; extracting real, selectable text from the page itself, with on-device OCR as a fallback for canvas/image content. ★ AI-ready PDFs - a real, selectable text layer on every page (not just screenshots), so ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI tools can actually read and process the file ★ Searchable PDFs - find, select, copy, and quote the text on every page ★ Scroll capture with seam stitching — no duplicated bands, sticky headers removed automatically ★ Click-mode pagination with an auto-suggested "Next" button ★ Review before saving - delete, reorder, zoom, or capture more pages ★ PDF bookmarks per page + source URL & timestamp metadata ★ Per-site presets, pause/resume, keyboard shortcut, JPEG/PNG export, optional Markdown text sidecar ★ 100% local processing - captures, OCR, and PDF assembly never leave your computer; no analytics, no tracking!! - FREE version: up to 30 pages per PDF with a watermark. - FULL FOREVER license ($10, one-time, one device): up to 1000 pages, no watermark. Use only for content you own, control, or have permission to archive. You are responsible for complying with the terms and copyright of the sites you visit.
