Install ToPDF as a desktop app (Windows, Mac, Linux)

Browsers can “install” web apps on the desktop too: a separate window, a taskbar/dock icon, launch from the Start menu or Launchpad. For anyone processing paper weekly, it's a nice quality-of-life upgrade.

Installing

1. Open topdf.online in Chrome or Edge.
2. Click the install icon in the address bar (a screen with a down-arrow), or Menu → “Install ToPDF…” / “Apps → Install this site as an app”.
3. Confirm — ToPDF opens in its own window and joins your applications.

Why bother on desktop

• Alt-Tab presence: scanning gets its own window instead of hiding among 40 tabs.
• Drag & drop target: park the window beside your folder and feed it images.
• Offline: flaky office Wi-Fi stops mattering.

Firefox and Safari (macOS) don't offer desktop installs of web apps the same way — a pinned tab or Safari's Dock shortcut gets you most of the way there.

Frequently asked questions

Is the installed app different code from the website?

No — same app, same on-device processing, in an app-shaped window. It updates automatically with the site.

How do I uninstall?

From the app window’s menu (⋮ → Uninstall) or your OS’s normal app removal. It leaves nothing behind beyond the browser cache, which clears with it.
