HTMLPDF.dev
What it is
HTMLPDF.dev is a cloud service for creating PDF files from raw HTML or publicly accessible URLs through one API endpoint. It renders pages with pooled headless Chromium instances and returns PDF binary by default, with Base64 or JSON available on request. Document controls cover paper size, orientation, margins, backgrounds, scale, page ranges, CSS media type, headers and footers. Dynamic pages can wait for a CSS selector or use a post-load timeout. A browser playground lets users paste HTML, change settings, preview a PDF and download it without code. Requests use HTTP, with examples for cURL, Node.js, Python, PHP and Go; the homepage also lists Ruby, .NET and Java, and official SDKs for Node, Python and Go. Ten templates include invoices, reports, certificates and receipts. The free plan allows 100 PDFs monthly and 10 requests hourly. Paid plans start at $19 a month.
