Is PDF Mage safe?

Clean risk

PDF Mage transmits the full HTML content of the active page to pdfmage.org when a user triggers PDF conversion.

When a user initiates a PDF export, the extension captures the complete DOM source of the current page and the page URL, then sends this data via a POST request to pdfmage.org's conversion API. This transfer is user-triggered and is required for the extension's core functionality. The extension does not collect or transmit page data outside of explicit conversion requests.

Who publishes it

Shared hosts - 1 hostname

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
