Feature Comparison

Both the hosted API and the self-hosted AMI use the same Chromium-based rendering engine. The difference is where the software runs and who manages it.

Code Samples

The API is the same regardless of which option you choose. Here is how easy it is to convert HTML to PDF using curl:


curl -f 'https://api.easypdfserver.com/make-pdf' \
    --data-binary '{"html":"<h1>Hello World</h1>", "key":"YOUR-API-KEY"}' \
    > download.pdf

For self-hosted users, replace api.easypdfserver.com with your own instance address. Full code samples for Node.js, PHP, Python, and Ruby are available on the homepage.
