Send Google Doc as PDF Email Attachment for Free
Sending a Google Doc as a PDF email attachment for free requires no paid tools. The Docs to PDF extension is free, Gmail is free, and Google Drive is free. The whole workflow costs nothing.
Free tools for the whole workflow
Install the Docs to PDF extension for free from the Chrome Web Store. Export any Google Doc as a PDF with one click. Attach the PDF to a Gmail message and send. Every step is free.
Free plan coverage
The extension's free plan handles a reasonable monthly conversion volume. If you send PDFs to clients or colleagues regularly but not at high volume, the free plan covers it. No watermarks, no expiry dates on the exported files.
Pro plan for high volume
If you export and send PDFs daily or in large batches, the Pro plan removes the monthly limit. Both plans use the same extension and produce identical PDF output.
