You can also view all the slides on one page by adding PageZipper bookmarklet on your browser. It is also available as an extension for Chrome and Firefox browser. If required you can get the CRX files of the Chrome extensions. What this extension does is it combines all the slideshows from the article into one webpage. To add PageZipper to your browser follow these easy steps:

  1. Go to PageZipper website

4. Alternate Method To Deslide

There are some websites that give you print option on their website to convert their article into a printable version. In that case, just click on Print once you will get all the article’s pages in one window to read. Sometimes sites will try to print the article, so you need to cancel the print operation and read the article in printable form. Alternatively, if there is no print option on the website, press Ctrl+P and read the print preview. With this, you can also choose save as PDF option to download it in PDF form. If you wish you can also password protect the PDF. Remember this method only works if the web owner is using left-right links as slideshows.

Conclusion

These were the few methods that we could come up with to deslide a website. All these methods were personally tried by us, so every method does surely work. Even though if one doesn’t work for your desired website, try another and so on. We found using PageZipper bookmarklet the most convenient one as it only requires one-time effort. But it fails to work on sites that load the next page using javascript instead of a normal link. Also, none of these methods require registration of some sorts. So stop pressing “next” again and again to read an article and share these methods with your friends also. We will be happy to hear from you, so feel free to comment.
