MailPress
One-click export of Gmail emails to clean, searchable PDFs.
Gmail's Print gives you interface chrome and a dialog to fight. Screenshots aren't searchable. Email-to-PDF services want you to forward private mail to their servers. MailPress puts a Save as PDF button inside Gmail. One click, no dialog: real selectable text, re-typeset for paper, named "2026-07-18 - Jane Doe - Invoice #123.pdf". Full-thread export, batch export as ZIP, filename templates, optional Drive upload. Rendering is 100% local - your email never touches our servers.
MailPress started with a small, stupid, daily annoyance: I needed a Gmail message as a PDF for a record, and Gmail's answer was Print -> a page with sidebars and toolbars baked in, a dialog to fight, and a file named "Untitled document.pdf". The alternatives were worse - screenshots aren't searchable, and every email-to-PDF web service asks you to forward private mail to their server.
So MailPress puts a Save as PDF button directly in the Gmail UI. One click and a few seconds later you have a real document:
• True text, not a screenshot - selectable, searchable, links still clickable • Re-typeset for paper - no Gmail chrome, no clipped margins • A filename that makes sense - "2026-07-18 - Jane Doe - Invoice #123.pdf", fully templated with {date}/{sender}/{subject}/{counter} and a live preview • Whole threads as one chronological PDF, or batch-export a selection as a ZIP • Save locally, to your own Google Drive (drive.file scope only), or both
The part I care most about: rendering is 100% local. PDF generation runs in an offscreen document inside your browser - your email body never reaches our servers, and nobody at MailPress can read your mail.
Two asks: 1. Export one real email and tell me if the PDF is genuinely filing-quality - that's the whole product, and it's where I want to be judged. 2. Tell me what's missing. Outlook web is the most-requested target and it's next. Bug reports that lead to a fix get a free month of Pro: [email protected]

Who hunted MailPress?
MailPress was hunted by Maksym Andriienko. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
