A hosted PDF API for edge runtimes

I built a hosted PDF API because I kept hitting the same wall.

I run several SaaS businesses. Across every one of them, there's a moment that always comes — usually a few weeks in — when I need to generate PDFs. Invoices. Filled forms. Signed contracts. Inspection reports. Receipts. It never seems like it'll be a big problem, until I sit down to do it.

Hosted PDF APIs charge $0.05 to $0.20 per document. Self-hosting a PDF library means running a backend that clashes with the rest of the stack being on modern edge platforms. Headless Chrome on Lambda works until it doesn't. After hitting that wall enough times, I built this once, as a hosted API. Now I use it across every business — and made it self-serve so you can too.

Reserve your spot for keys (1k–10k/mo, free during beta). A few quick questions help me prioritize endpoints and lock in fair early pricing — nothing here is on the roadmap until I see real demand.
