HTML to PDF

PDF

Turn HTML and CSS into a PDF: invoices, receipts, reports, tickets. Rendered by Chromium, so modern CSS (flexbox, grid, web fonts) works.

What it does

Chromium rendering: flexbox, grid and web fonts
A3, A4, A5, Letter, Legal and Tabloid
Margins, landscape and background colours
Page numbers in the footer

Good for

Invoices and receipts
Tickets and certificates
Reports

Keep the HTML self-contained: styles inline, and images and fonts as data URIs. For safety, scripts do not run and nothing is fetched from the internet.

Example

POST https://bloodweb.net/api/v1/html-to-pdf

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" --data-urlencode html@invoice.html -d format=A4 https://bloodweb.net/api/v1/html-to-pdf -o invoice.pdf
