HTMLPDF.dev is a hosted PDF-generation service for developers and teams that need to create invoices, reports, receipts, certificates, and similar documents programmatically. It accepts raw HTML or publicly accessible URLs through a REST API, while an online browser playground supports generation without code. The service runs on pooled headless Chromium instances and returns PDFs as binary, Base64, or JSON responses, making it suited to applications that need a focused HTML-to-PDF workflow through the web or API.

Its plans scale by monthly PDF volume and added capabilities. Free provides 100 PDFs per month, basic API access, all paper formats, and community support. Starter costs $19 per month for 500 PDFs, all options and formats, headers and footers, and email support. Growth is $49 per month for 2,500 PDFs, async mode, and priority support. Business costs $99 per month for 10,000 PDFs, custom fonts, async mode, and priority support. Scale is $249 per month for 50,000 PDFs, webhook callbacks, bulk API, custom fonts, and priority support. Enterprise costs $499 per month for 200,000 PDFs, an SLA guarantee, dedicated support, webhooks and bulk API, custom fonts, and a priority queue.

The standout feature is control over rendered document output. Users can select A3, A4, A5, Letter, Legal, or Tabloid paper sizes, then configure margins, scale, backgrounds, CSS page-size behavior, page ranges, headers, footers, page-number templates, and CSS print or screen media modes. Selector and timeout wait strategies support pages that need rendering time before conversion. HTMLPDF.dev fits teams that want direct API generation with granular page controls and a browser testing surface. Teams needing bulk generation must choose Scale or Enterprise, while simpler document workflows may not need its broader rendering options.
