Why convert URLs to PDF?

Live data, no scraping setup

Skip the boilerplate of headless-Chrome infra. We handle browser pools, retries, font caching, and viewport sizing — you just send a URL.

Authenticated pages, not just public ones

Pass cookies, headers, or basic-auth credentials to render gated dashboards, internal tools, and member-only pages.

Snapshot for compliance and audit

Capture immutable PDF snapshots of dashboards, reports, or third-party pages with timestamp + URL footer for legal archival.

How URL-to-PDF rendering works

1. Send the URL + optional auth

POST a JSON body with the target URL, viewport size, and optional cookies, headers, or basic-auth credentials.

2. We fetch and render in headless Chromium

Our render workers load the page, wait for network idle (or your custom selector), apply print CSS, and capture the PDF.

3. Receive PDF bytes or signed URL

Sync mode for fast pages, async with webhook for slow-loading dashboards.

What is the pdf.xhub URL-to-PDF API?

A managed headless-browser-as-a-service for converting live web content into print-ready PDFs. Built for teams that need reports and dashboards or third-party pages captured deterministically — without operating a Chromium fleet. Pairs naturally with HTML-to-PDF when you control the source markup.
