Download Every PDF In One Click
Find every PDF on a page — including links without .pdf in the URL — and save them all at once. Have a list of PDF links instead? Paste it or import a CSV and name each file from a column.
Free up to 50 PDFs per batch · Pro $9 one-time for unlimited batches, URL lists, and rename
The fastest way to bulk download PDFs
Research portals, course pages, court dockets, government records, conference proceedings: the PDFs you need are usually a list of links, and saving them one by one means right-click → save as → repeat fifty times. Bulk File Downloader does it in one click.
Open the page, click the extension, hit the Documents filter, select all, download. PDFs linked without a .pdf in the URL (like /download?id=123) are found too, and saved under the name the server gives them.
Already have the links — say, a reference list or a spreadsheet of DOIs resolved to PDF URLs? Pro downloads a pasted list or a CSV and can name each PDF from a title column, so you end up with Smith 2021 - Neural networks.pdf instead of fulltext(37).pdf.
Why people use it for PDFs
Finds PDFs Other Tools Miss
Direct links, embedded viewers, and extensionless download links (/download?id=…) — named from the server's response, not guessed.
Free for 50 per Batch
Select up to 50 PDFs and download them free, then the next 50. Pro removes the limit for big archives.
PDFs From a URL List (Pro)
Paste links or import a .txt/.csv. Duplicates are removed and every file name is previewed before you start.
Rename by Title (Pro)
Use a CSV column or a template such as {n} - {text} to get readable, sortable file names.
One Folder or One ZIP
Each batch goes into its own folder named after the page. Pro can bundle everything into a single ZIP instead.
Uses Your Own Access
Works with sites you're logged in to (library proxies, course portals, dockets) because downloads run in your browser. Nothing goes through our servers.
Download all PDFs from a page in 4 steps

Bulk PDF downloading, answered
How do I download all PDFs from a web page at once?
Install the extension, open the page, click the extension icon, choose the Documents filter, tick "Select all", and click Download. Free downloads up to 50 PDFs per batch; Pro has no limit.
Can I bulk download PDFs from a list of URLs?
Yes, with Pro. Paste the links or import a .txt/.csv file in "Download from a list of URLs". You can name each PDF from a CSV column (for example a title column), and save them as separate files or one ZIP.
Can it bulk download scientific papers?
It downloads papers you can already open in your browser — open-access papers, preprints, and anything your library or institution gives you access to. It does not bypass paywalls or logins.
Will it find PDFs that don't end in .pdf?
Usually. Download links like /download?id=123 or /files/get/… are detected from the link and its text, and Chrome names the file from the server's response when it downloads.
Does it work on sites that require login?
Yes — if you're logged in to the site in Chrome, downloads use that same session, exactly as if you clicked each link yourself.
What if some PDFs fail?
Failures are listed with a reason (for example "Not found on the server (404)" or "You need to be logged in"). You can copy the failed links, and Pro retries temporary failures automatically and lets you retry the rest with one click.
Are my PDFs sent to your servers?
No. Files go directly from the website to your computer through Chrome. The extension only contacts our server to check a Pro license key, if you have one.
