HTML in.
Perfect PDF out.

Two lines of code. Production-quality PDF. No Puppeteer babysitting, no template tax for the simple path. When you need versioning, switch to templates. When you need print, the same stack can preflight.

Three ways to write a PDF

Start instant. Graduate to templates when you need determinism and versioning.

1. HTML → PDF

POST /render-html with your HTML. Chromium or wkhtmltopdf. Headers, footers, margins. Done.

2. Markdown → PDF

Pass markdown — we wrap it in print-ready typography. Perfect for agents and notes.

3. Template + data

POST /render with a slug and JSON. Versioned, lockable, hashable. New accounts get hello + invoice.

Not another Puppeteer side quest

You already write HTML. You shouldn’t also run headless browsers, fight fonts, and patch deploys.

When “good on screen” isn’t enough

Generate is for writing documents. Studio and Print API finish them for ink. Optional ladder — not required on day one.
