About

Lightpanda is an open source headless web browser designed specifically for AI systems and large-scale web automation workloads. Unlike traditional browsers such as Chrome or Firefox that are built primarily for human interaction and graphical rendering, Lightpanda is engineered from the ground up for machines and automated processes. It runs without a graphical interface and focuses only on the components required for programmatic web interaction, such as HTML parsing, DOM tree construction, and JavaScript execution. By eliminating visual rendering tasks like layout calculations, image loading, and pixel painting, the system dramatically reduces resource usage and improves performance for automation tasks. Lightpanda was built from scratch using the Zig programming language rather than modifying an existing browser engine, allowing it to be optimized for speed, reliability, and minimal memory consumption.

About

PDFik turns URLs or raw HTML into pixel-accurate PDFs through an asynchronous API: submit a job, get a job ID instantly, and receive an HMAC-signed webhook when the PDF is ready — or poll and download. Rendering runs on sandboxed headless Chromium, so modern CSS, web fonts and JavaScript-heavy pages come out the way a browser shows them. Billing has two published meters — rendered PDFs and generated gigabytes — and downloads never count against your data. A free test mode exercises the whole pipeline (statuses, webhooks, downloads) without spending quota. Files up to 150 MB on every plan; generated documents are deleted within 24 hours. Typed SDKs for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python and Java, a public OpenAPI 3.1 specification, and an open-source CLI with a wkhtmltopdf compatibility mode for legacy scripts. Free plan: 100 PDFs and 0.5 GB monthly, no credit card required; paid plans from $29/month. 99.9% uptime SLA.
