About
There are several popular free HTML-to-PDF libraries including wkhtmltopdf, PhantomJS, and Chrome Headless / Puppeteer. These tools use the Webkit or Chromium rendering engines, which are designed to display continuously scrolling webpages. In contrast, DocRaptor was built for generating multi-page documents. This fundamental difference has a tremendous impact on PDF functionality such as page breaks, headers and footers, and variable page sizes. Our conversion engine provides layout and styling options (including CSS Paged Media support) that the open-source PDF engines simply cannot match. Additionally, as a cloud-based API, we provide professional support, instant scalability, and guaranteed reliability without the costs of long-term maintenance for these libraries and their infrastructure.

About
PDFik is an asynchronous API that turns public URLs or raw HTML into pixel-accurate PDFs. Submit a job, receive a job ID, and get an HMAC-signed webhook when the PDF is ready — polling endpoints exist too. Rendering runs on sandboxed headless Chromium, so modern CSS, web fonts and JavaScript-heavy pages render correctly.
Key capabilities: signed webhooks with automatic retries and a dead-letter queue on every plan, including Free; two published billing meters (rendered PDFs and generated GB, counted separately — downloads never debit quota); a free test mode ("test": true) that exercises the full pipeline without spending quota; files up to 150 MB on every plan; guaranteed deletion of generated documents within 24 hours; per-job credentials encrypted end to end; official SDKs for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python and Java plus a public OpenAPI spec.
Free plan: 100 PDFs and 0.5 GB per month, card verified and never charged. Paid plans from $29/month with a 99.5% SLA.
