The usual workflow takes too many steps: download the file, open a separate converter, save the PDF, then come back to Gmail to attach it. It is slow, repetitive, and breaks your concentration. There has to be an easier way to send polished PDF attachments without leaving your inbox. ### Solution: Convert any file to PDF with one click Attach Files as PDF adds a single button to the Gmail composer that turns any file on your computer into a PDF and attaches it to your message. You stay in Gmail the whole time. No separate converter tools, no manual downloads, no Google Drive authorization. Pick the file, get a PDF attached - that is it. ### One-Click Conversion in the Gmail Composer A new icon appears right in the Gmail composer toolbar. Click it, pick a file from your computer, and the extension takes care of the rest. Your file is uploaded, converted to a high-quality PDF, and attached to your Gmail draft as a regular .pdf attachment. Everything happens in seconds without ever leaving Gmail. ### Works with All Common File Types Attach Files as PDF handles all the file types you actually send by email. Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, text files, and images can all be turned into a clean PDF. You no longer have to worry about whether the person receiving your email can open the original format - send a PDF and it will always look the same on every device. ### Attachments That Are Always Ready to Send The extension performs a file size check so the converted PDF can always be attached to a Gmail message. You will never be surprised by a Gmail size limit at the last minute. The final PDF appears in your draft just like any other attachment, so you can review the email and send when you are ready. ### Send More Professional Emails PDFs look the same to every recipient no matter what device or operating system they use. By sending a converted PDF instead of an editable file, you give the person a clean, professional copy that is easy to read and easy to print. It is a small change that makes a big difference for client emails, proposals, invoices, and reports. ### Works Directly Inside Gmail Attach Files as PDF works directly inside Gmail, right next to the existing attachment button you already use. There is nothing new to learn and no extra tools to open. Compose your message, click the Attach Files as PDF icon, pick your file, and keep writing. It is a smooth and familiar experience that keeps your workflow fast and efficient. ### 5 Star Positive Reviews Users love how Attach Files as PDF simplifies their daily email workflow.
