How to Share a Web Page Image Using Safari and Mail

With the Mail application in macOS, you can send links to web pages, but links aren’t your only option if you use Apple Mail and Safari browser. The Share icon in Safari allows you to email a web page in any of four formats:

Web page and linkReader format and linkAttached PDF and linkLink only

When you share the web page in either web page format or reader format, it is viewable and scrollable within the email. All the links function. If you choose to attach the web page to the email as a PDF, it is not viewable within the email, but the recipient can click the PDF icon to open it in any PDF reader. The PDF also contains the full web page, and the links remain functional.

How to Send a Web Page in Other Mail Programs

If you don’t use Apple Mail as your default mail client, you won’t have the “Email This Program” option in the Share menu. You can still send a PDF of a web page by generating a PDF in a browser and attaching it manually to your email. The recipient can use any PDF viewer to show the formatting of the PDF as you see it. The PDF does not depend on the recipient’s email program. However, the recipient must have a device or program that is capable of showing PDF files to see the fully formatted page.
