Built for document workflows in
Teams usually discover too late that PDF generation is not a side quest. It sits inside billing, reporting, customer communication, and audit workflows, so reliability matters quickly.
Invoices, statements, and longer reports stay readable instead of splitting wherever the browser feels like it.
What looked right in a local browser keeps its spacing, tables, and brand treatment when real users generate files.
Your team ships document features without owning another layer of worker queues, browser images, and render tuning.
HTML, layout controls, metadata, and downstream delivery can sit behind one render contract that is easier to explain internally.
Start from HTML, inject live data, and return a PDF that is ready to download, email, or archive.
Start with the markup you already control, then layer in reusable templates and richer authoring flows as the document surface grows.
Inject names, totals, dates, account details, line items, and report content at request time.
Stream the file to a browser, store it in your workflow, or hand it to downstream systems with the layout handled.
A focused API surface for templates, data merge, PDF generation, and production document workflows.
Design reusable layouts with HTML and Handlebars variables, then publish them for API renders.
Populate invoices, reports, statements, and contracts with JSON from your product.
Render sync for short requests or hand larger jobs to async processing and webhooks.
Use API keys, workspace boundaries, and dashboard controls for production document operations.
Start with a short quickstart, clear request contracts, and examples for common stacks.
Track render history and connect completed PDFs to the workflow that needs them next.
Pricing keeps volume and overages predictable once the trial proves out. Start with signup, API keys, and 5 trial renders, then move onto a paid plan when the integration is ready for production use.
Choose this route when procurement, support commitments, or deployment requirements matter as much as raw document volume.
Priority help and reliability commitments for business-critical document output.
Volume, billing, and contract structures that match how your teams actually generate files.
Useful for larger organizations, regulated teams, and internal platform groups.
