Transforming Web Content: Effortlessly Convert HTML to PDF with Our Powerful API

Unlock the Power of Portable Documents: Why Convert HTML to PDF?

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, the ability to convert dynamic web content into static, shareable, and printable documents is invaluable. From generating invoices and reports to archiving web pages or creating print-ready versions of articles, the need for reliable HTML to PDF conversion is ever-present. HTML, while flexible for web display, often lacks the consistent formatting and universal accessibility required for formal documentation or offline use. This is where PDF shines, offering a universal format that preserves layout and appearance across different devices and operating systems.

For developers, SaaS owners, and entrepreneurs, manually converting HTML to PDF can be a cumbersome and error-prone process. It demands significant time, resources, and technical expertise. TompisAPIs offers a powerful, efficient, and robust solution to this challenge, enabling seamless transformation with just a simple API call.

Introducing the TompisAPIs HTML to PDF Converter API

Our HTML to PDF API is engineered to streamline your document generation workflows. It provides a straightforward yet incredibly powerful way to convert any HTML source code or HTML file into a high-fidelity PDF document. Built for performance and reliability, this API ensures your converted PDFs maintain the integrity and visual accuracy of your original HTML, including styling, images, and layout.

Forget about complex rendering engines or battling with cross-browser compatibility issues. With TompisAPIs, you get a robust, ready-to-use solution that integrates effortlessly into your existing applications, saving you development time and operational costs. It's the ideal tool for anyone looking to automate document creation and enhance their digital offerings.

Flexible Input & Output: Tailored to Your Needs

The TompisAPIs HTML to PDF API provides exceptional flexibility in how you provide HTML and receive your converted PDF. You can supply your HTML content in two primary ways:

  • Upload an HTML File: Easily send a .html or .htm file directly to the API using the html_file parameter.
  • Paste Raw HTML Text: For smaller snippets or dynamically generated content, simply pass your HTML as a plain string using the html_text parameter.

Our API intelligently handles the input, prioritizing a file upload if both are provided. But the flexibility doesn't stop there. You have full control over the output format with the response_type parameter:

  • Direct PDF Download (pdf - default): Ideal for immediate user downloads or saving the PDF directly to your server.
  • Base64 String (base64): Receive the PDF content as a base64-encoded string within a JSON response, perfect for embedding PDFs in web applications or for systems that prefer string-based data transfer.
  • ZIP Archive (zip): Get a convenient ZIP file containing both the generated PDF (output.pdf) and the original HTML source (source.html), along with metadata. This is excellent for auditing or retaining original content.

The API utilizes high-fidelity rendering, ensuring your complex HTML, CSS, and even some JavaScript-rendered content is accurately represented in the final PDF.

Seamless Integration & Comprehensive Error Handling

Integrating the TompisAPIs HTML to PDF converter into your application is straightforward. The API uses a standard POST method to its /api/pdf-toolkit/html2pdf/ endpoint. Whether you're using Python, Node.js, PHP, or any other language, sending your HTML and receiving the PDF is just a few lines of code away. We provide clear examples in our documentation for various scenarios, making the setup process quick and hassle-free.

Furthermore, our API is designed with robust error handling. You'll receive clear, descriptive error codes and messages for common issues such as:

  • Missing HTML input (MISSING_INPUT)
  • Invalid HTML structure (INVALID_HTML)
  • HTML content exceeding size limits (INVALID_HTML)
  • Unsupported file types (VALIDATION_ERROR)
  • Processing timeouts (TIMEOUT)

This comprehensive feedback loop empowers developers to debug quickly and build more resilient applications, ensuring a smooth user experience even when unexpected issues arise.
