How Do I Save a Page on My Tablet?

Published in Android Tablets 3 mins read

To save a page on your Android tablet, you'll typically use the browser you're currently using. Here's how:

  1. Open your browser: Launch the browser app you're using on your tablet (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet).

  2. Navigate to the page: Go to the webpage you want to save.

  3. Tap the "More" or "Menu" option: Look for an icon that usually represents "More" or the browser menu. It often looks like three dots (⋮) or three horizontal lines (☰). The appearance varies slightly depending on the browser.

  4. Select "Share": In the menu that appears, find and tap the "Share" option. It usually has an icon that looks like three connected dots.

  5. Choose "Save to" or "Save Page": Within the sharing options, you should see an option to save the page. This may be labeled as "Save Page," "Save to," "Saved," or something similar depending on your browser and Android version. It might also give you options like "Save as PDF" if you want to save it in that format. If you see "Saved," tapping that could save the page to your browser's reading list or saved pages section. Some browsers may also offer the option to save the page for offline viewing directly.

Different Browsers and Their Options

While the general steps are the same, here's a little more detail for popular browsers:

  • Chrome: Tap the three-dot menu, then "Share," and finally, look for options like "Print" (which allows you to save as a PDF) or a dedicated "Save Page" feature if available. If you have a Google account logged in, you can also use "Send to your devices" and view it later on another device where you're logged in.
  • Samsung Internet: Tap the menu button (usually three horizontal lines), and look for a "Save Page" option directly or through the "Share" menu.
  • Firefox: Tap the three-dot menu, and then tap "Save as PDF" or look for an option to "Add to Reading List".

Where to Find Saved Pages

After saving a page, you can typically find it in one of the following locations:

  • Browser's Download Folder: If saved as a PDF, it will often be in your tablet's "Downloads" folder. You can access this folder using a file manager app.

  • Browser's Reading List or Saved Pages Section: Many browsers have a built-in reading list or saved pages section. Check your browser's menu for options like "Reading List," "Saved Pages," or "Downloads."

  • Third-Party Apps: If you used a third-party app to save the page (e.g., Pocket), the saved page will be stored within that app.
