What it can read
It reads blog posts and articles, Google Docs and PDFs, including a PDF saved on your own computer.
You do not need to copy and paste, reformat or rebuild anything. The extension picks the right way to read whatever is in the tab.
Blog posts and articles
It lifts the article itself and leaves out menus, adverts and sidebars. Headings, lists, quotes, links, images and simple tables come across.
Google Docs
Open the Doc you are signed in to and it reads the headings and text through your existing Google login. It only ever talks to Google Docs for this.
PDFs
It reads the text of a PDF and keeps the original file attached, so people can still get the real thing. It reads text, so a scanned image of a page cannot be read.
How it works, step by step
You click the extension, check what it found, and edit the draft in Gatedleads before anything goes live.
Add the extension
Install it from the Chrome Web Store, then sign in to your Gatedleads account in the same browser.
Open what you want to use
A blog post, a Google Doc or a PDF. It can be one of your own, or a document you are about to turn into something new.
Click the extension
It reads the page in your browser and tells you if anything could not come across, for example a video it cannot read or part of a long document.
Pick a look
Gatedleads opens with your content in place and ten looks to try, in light or dark. Each is drawn from one of the starter templates.
Edit and publish
It opens as a draft in the editor. Change the wording, move blocks around and set what the form asks for. Nothing is published until you press Publish. See how to turn a PDF into a lead magnet for what to change before you do.
What it does and does not do
It copies what is on the page into your account. It does not rewrite anything, publish anything, or watch what else you browse.
| It does | It does not |
|---|---|
| Move the text, headings, lists, links and images from the page into a draft | Rewrite, summarise or add words with AI |
| Work only when you click it | Run in the background or read other tabs |
| Send the page to your own Gatedleads account | Publish anything for you |
| Ask for permission before reading a PDF from another website | Collect your browsing history |
| Tell you what it had to leave out | Quietly drop parts of the page |
The extension asks for very little: access to the tab you click it on, to Google Docs for reading a Doc, and an optional one-time permission for a PDF on another site. The full list is in the privacy policy.
Who it is for
Anyone who already has the content written and wants a page without copying it across by hand.
The extension is for people who already wrote the useful thing. A guide you published on your blog, a checklist you keep in a Google Doc, or a PDF you send to clients.
You have a good post
Turn the post that already brings readers into a page that also collects emails, without rewriting it.
Your content lives in a Doc
Keep writing in Google Docs. Click once and it is in the editor with your headings in place.
You send a PDF around
Put the PDF on a page of its own, with the file attached for people to download.
You work for a client
Take a document the client already approved and have a draft page ready to review in minutes.
If you would rather start from a blank idea, the AI assistant connection writes a whole page from a conversation instead. The two work well together: import what you have, then ask your assistant to tighten it.
Browsers and plans
It works in Chrome, Edge and Brave, and it is included with Pro at $29 a month.
The extension is in the Chrome Web Store and in Microsoft Edge Add-ons. Brave and other browsers built on the same engine as Chrome install it from the Chrome Web Store. Using it needs a Pro account, which is $29 a month with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Free is one live page with no card, so you can try Gatedleads first and add the extension when you have more to turn into pages.
