HTML to PDF — convert HTML into PDF files

Convert and Format raw HTML to PDF API

What it does

HTML to PDF turns raw HTML into a downloadable PDF file. Send your HTML in the html field and get back binary PDF output that you can store, email, or stream to users.

Use the optional layout fields to control the document output: landscape for page orientation, page_size for A4, Letter, Legal, A3, or Tabloid, and margin_top, margin_left, margin_right, and margin_bottom for CSS-based page margins. You can also set print_background to include background graphics in the rendered PDF.

HTML to PDF is a practical fit for invoice generation, report export, receipts, and any workflow where you already have HTML templates and need a printable document. Because the input is raw HTML, you can render the same content your app shows in the browser and convert it into a file for download or archival use.

It accepts HTML content up to 5,000,000 characters, making it suitable for large pages and generated documents with substantial markup.
