What is an Issuu downloader?
An Issuu downloader is a free online tool that turns a public Issuu publication into a PDF file you can keep. This Issuu PDF downloader reads the pages the publisher has made publicly readable and assembles them into one file, so you can read a magazine, catalog or brochure offline.
The result is an image-based PDF, which means each page is a picture of the original page. Private publications and anything that needs an Issuu login cannot be saved. Learn how tools like this work in our guide on how downloader tools work.

“Could not read this publication”
The publication may be private, removed, or not expose its page images publicly. Try a different public publication link.
The link is not accepted
Copy the link directly from the address bar of the publication. It should look like issuu.com/username/docs/publication-name, not a search result or shortened link.
