Now used commercially by 3000+ companies! We've grown too big to be a completely free service - read the backstory.
Code examples available for asp.net, jquery/javascript, php, java, android and others
Conversions are done on multiple server clusters spread across different datacenters
string apiKey = "ABCD-1234"; string value = "http://www.google.com"; // a url starting with http or an HTML string using (var client = new WebClient()) { NameValueCollection options = new NameValueCollection(); options.Add("apikey", apiKey); options.Add("value", value); byte[] result = client.UploadValues("http://api.html2pdfrocket.com/pdf", options); System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(Server.MapPath(Path.Combine("~/", @"c:\temp\mypdf.pdf")), result); }
<a href="http://api.html2pdfrocket.com/pdf?value=http://www.google.co.nz&apikey=ABCD-1234">Download PDF</a>
<a href="http://html2pdfrocket.com/html/topdf?apikey=ABCD-1234">Download Current Page as PDF</a>
If you wish to use extra parameters when doing API conversions, you must use follow the api.html2pdfrocket.com example. The http://html2pdfrocket.com/html/topdf shortcut example only works with the default parameters.
$apikey = 'ABCD-1234'; $value = 'http://www.google.com'; // a url starting with http or an HTML string. see example #5 if you have a long HTML string $result = file_get_contents("http://api.html2pdfrocket.com/pdf?apikey=" . urlencode($apikey) . "&value=" . urlencode($value)); file_put_contents('mypdf.pdf',$result);

Let us know if you need extra parameters or other API features
Enter your url beginning with http - or a html string - to convert to a PDF or image file.
Your page doesn't have to be W3C compliant, but please be certain that the page your trying isn't missing links to images or files as we tend to reject pages like that by default :)

Numbers don't fit into your budget or plan? drop us a line with what you do need - we have customers affordably doing 1.6 million PDF's per month
What about security (and also testing on localhost) - do I have to make my webpage publically available?
No - you can send the html (instead of a url) - there is no need to put the page you want to convert publically on the web. This is also slighly faster as we don't have to download the webpage from the internet.
If I do use the URL option, what security options like SSL are there?
You can use basic authentication and pass in a username and password. Our API supports SSL and also reading from https pages. Alternatively some customers use a simple token system, e.g. by passing a secret parameter on the url that noone else will know, e.g. www.myurl.com/invoice?secret=abc123. The token could be simple - the same each time, or it could be time based and expire after a minute or so.
What about data privacy?
We take privacy very seriously and we do not store either the webpage content you sent to us or outputted PDF. Not even in audit trails or exception logs. HTML is processed and sent back to you, and to be perfectly honest, storing all that html, css, images etc or worse, the resulting PDFs would quickly result in terrabytes of useless data that would cost us a lot of money so doesn't make any sense - we also do not have time to sift though tens of thousands of PDF's to find one with something interesting.. Please see our privacy policy for more details
Can I run this on my own private server or cluster?
Yes - we have sent the API source code to several companies, and we can also spin up a dedicated server, or server cluster just for you drop us a line.
