Use case

HTML to PDF API for invoices, reports, proposals, and archives.

Turn live URLs or your own HTML templates into print-ready PDFs from a real browser environment. Useful when PDF generation needs web fidelity, not a brittle layout-library workaround.

POST /jobs Print-ready PDF output Backed by the Paperplane engine

Render once. Reuse everywhere.

Build invoices, reports, proposals, or visual assets as HTML using the same design system you already have, then render polished, print-ready PDF output without rebuilding those templates in a separate stack.

How it works

From HTML to PDF in one POST request.

Send a URL to /jobs. Converterer loads the page in a full browser environment, waits for it to render properly, and returns the output as a print-ready PDF. Wondering how this compares to PDF libraries and self-hosted browsers? We tested all of them in the complete HTML-to-PDF guide.

# Render a URL to PDF.
curl -u "$CONVERTERER_API_KEY:" \
  -d url="https://example.com" \
  -d page_size=A4 \
  https://api.converterer.com/jobs
# → {"id":"fe748521-…",
#    "status":"queued"}

# The finished PDF lands at your
# destination as <job-id>.pdf, and
# a webhook can notify you the
# moment it’s ready.

This is the same rendering engine that powered Paperplane since 2018, now folded into Converterer.

Common use cases

Where website capture earns its keep.

The sweet spot is any workflow where HTML is the source of truth and the finished output needs to be portable, printable, or easy to share.

Invoice and receipt generation

Build invoices as web pages, then render clean PDFs without fighting low-level PDF layout libraries.

Report generation

Turn dashboards, analytics views, or internal reporting pages into polished PDFs for customers, execs, or operators.

Full-page snapshots

Preserve exactly what a page looked like as a print-ready PDF for QA records, competitor review, and change tracking.

Statements and confirmations

Generate account statements, booking confirmations, and order summaries from the HTML views your product already renders.

Web archiving

Create stable PDF records of live pages for compliance, legal holds, historical snapshots, or client documentation.

Proposals and contracts

Compose client-facing documents as branded web pages, then export them as PDFs for sending, signing, or storage.

Output control

Tune the result without changing your source templates.

Page settings

Set paper size, orientation, custom margins, and headers or footers when the output needs to print cleanly.

Modern web support

Render web fonts, SVG, Flexbox, CSS Grid, and JavaScript-heavy pages with the fidelity you expect from a real browser.

Asynchronous API

Submit capture jobs and keep your app or workflow moving while rendering completes in the background.

Batch processing

Run multiple captures in parallel for reporting runs, scheduled archives, or high-volume document generation.

Webhooks

Trigger downstream steps when jobs finish so the pipeline stays reliable without constant polling.

Output formats

PDF output today, tuned for print fidelity. PNG and JPG image output is on the roadmap.

Security

Your source pages and outputs are not hanging around.

Converterer only keeps source pages and generated files for as long as needed to complete the job. Rendering runs on isolated infrastructure, and assets are deleted automatically after delivery.

Get started

Read the docs, then put a real page through it.

Best starting point: send an existing page, invoice, or report URL through the API and check the rendered output against your current workflow.

Trust

Why people trust Converterer.

A few things that matter when you're putting file conversion on the critical path of your product or workflow.

Running since 2018

Converterer is the rebrand of Paperplane, which has been running as a paid file-conversion service since 2018. The same team and underlying engine.

Files in your storage, not ours

Conversions land directly in your S3, B2, GCS, or Azure bucket. We don't hold output files on our infrastructure beyond what's needed to deliver the job.

Storage destinations

Encrypted in transit, deleted after

TLS for every request. Uploaded inputs are deleted after processing, not stored, not inspected, not used for AI training, not sold.
