URL to PDF API
Convert any webpage to a high-quality PDF document with a single API parameter. Perfect for reports, invoices, legal documentation, and archival purposes.
How URL to PDF Works
GetScreenshot's PDF generation feature renders any webpage in a real browser and converts it to a properly formatted PDF document. The result preserves layouts, fonts, images, and styles.
Unlike simple HTML-to-PDF converters, our API handles JavaScript-rendered content, lazy-loaded images, and complex CSS layouts. You get the page exactly as it appears in a browser.
API Parameter
pdf=true
Set to true to receive a PDF instead of an image. The response will include a URL to the generated PDF document.
Example Request
https://api.rasterwise.com/v1/get-screenshot
?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY
&url=https://example.com/invoice
&pdf=true
Response
{
"screenshot": "https://cdn.rasterwise.com/...pdf",
"format": "pdf"
}
