PDFPipe

High-Performance HTML to PDF API for Developers

PDFPipe provides a production-quality document layer for teams that generate invoices, reports, and other critical documents on a schedule. It is built to stay up when finance depends on it, offering a pixel-perfect PDF in about a second with just one API call.

Why Choose PDFPipe?

Unlike self-hosted solutions or other PDF APIs that use complex credit systems, PDFPipe offers a predictable and reliable experience:

• Pixel-Perfect Output: Rendered with a real browser engine to support Tailwind, Bootstrap, flexbox, and grid.
• Flat Pricing: No credits, no size multipliers, and no overage charges. The price you see is the price you pay.
• Secure Rendering: Each render runs in an isolated, sandboxed environment with no private network access or stored secrets.

• Agent-Ready: Built for AI agents with a dedicated MCP server to turn assistant outputs into real documents.

How It Works

The pipeline is simple and efficient:

1. SEND: Post your HTML, a URL, or a saved template with JSON data using curl, Node.js, or Python helpers.
2. RENDER: PDFPipe renders the document in an isolated environment, handling fonts, page breaks, headers, and footers automatically.
3. RETURN: The raw PDF streams back in about a second, ready for your user or storage. You can also add a flag to get a hosted URL with a retention window.
4. KEEP: Documents stay retrievable based on your plan (from one day to two years).
