URL Scanner results are now one click away from a PDF report!

Cloudflare Changelog ★★★★ View Markdown

Hi, it's me! Here's a nice update for anyone using Cloudflare's URL Scanner for security work!

Cloudflare Changelog developers.cloudflare.com

What was announced?

According to the Cloudflare Changelog, Cloudflare expanded the URL Scanner's reporting capabilities. In addition to the existing JSON and HAR exports, you can now generate and download a PDF report directly from the dashboard.

The story so far

Up until now, URL Scanner results could be exported as JSON or HAR, both of which typically need specialized tools or know-how to parse. Sharing scan results with people who don't have dashboard access, or who don't have tools to read JSON or HAR files, took a bit of extra work.

What changes

The new PDF export brings two clear benefits:

  • It consolidates scan results — screenshots, security signatures, and metadata — into a single, portable document
  • It makes it easy to share professional-grade summaries with stakeholders who don't have dashboard access, like legal teams, speeding up incident response

Since it's something you can hand directly to someone without specialized tools, it's handy for internal reporting or explaining findings to customers too.

Dive Deep

The usage is simple: a new "PDF Export" button on the URL Scanner results page in the Cloudflare dashboard lets you download the report on the spot. The generated PDF bundles everything from high-level summaries down to specific security flags into one offline-friendly file. For more details and the API, check Cloudflare's URL Scanner API documentation.

Wrap-up

  • URL Scanner results can now be downloaded directly as a PDF report
  • It's the third export option, alongside JSON and HAR
  • Screenshots, security signatures, and metadata are bundled into a single shareable file
  • Useful for sharing with stakeholders without dashboard access, legal teams, and speeding up incident response

If you're a security analyst who needs to share scan results quickly with people inside or outside your team, give this a try on your next scan!
