How many times have we seen someone print an entire web page just to extract a bit of text? While we already know the exact process to avoid that mistake, there are many users out there who get completely lost when it comes to customizing a printout. The old portal PrintWhatYouLike stands out as a possible solution. All we have to do is enter the site URL, select the desired section with the mouse, and order the print.
We've seen it in memes, in WhatsApp messages, and on social media: Someone tries to print a small section of a web page, and ends up printing all its content, including ads and animations. In most cases, the solution is as simple as copying the text and pasting it into some basic text editor, but there's always that odd one who needs more attention. If you come across one of those sites or want to help someone, don't forget you can use the portal PrintWhatYouLike.
PrintWhatYouLike: Print Specific Sections of a Web Page
The site is a classic on the Internet. In fact, it hasn't received any update in years, but its basic function is still there, and honestly, it's all we need. First, you have to enter the URL of the site or article you want to print, then click on Start. Once loaded, we click on the text we want, and that enables an additional menu. The most important option in that menu is Isolate, which removes all secondary elements from the site and leaves only our selection.
From here, PrintWhatYouLike allows us to adjust the font size, remove images and the background, but it's enough to press Print to send the job to our printer, or as an alternative, convert the result into a PDF document. It's possible that with some texts a blank page remains at the end, but nothing stops us from shrinking the text a bit more, or simply ignoring that page to avoid waste. Try it!
