PDF and screenshot APIs

44 services

These services turn HTML, templates or live URLs into PDFs and images, and a few work the other way, parsing documents into data. Template tools such as CraftMyPDF, PDFMonkey and APITemplate.io let you design a layout once and fill it with JSON; HTML renderers like PDFBolt and Doppio take markup you already have. Screenshot APIs, including ApiFlash, screenshotmachine.com and Screenshot Scout, capture a page from its URL.

Quotas count documents or renders, and they are small enough to matter beyond testing. PDFBolt lists 500 PDFs a month, Doppio 400 documents, PDFMonkey 300 and CraftMyPDF 100 with 3 templates. On the screenshot side, screenshotlayer.com and screenshotmachine.com each allow 100 a month, while thumbnail.ws allows 1,000 requests. Template-based plans often also cap how many templates you can keep.

For parsing, OCR.space allows 25,000 requests a month but limits files to 1 MB, Reducto gives 15,000 credits, and Parseur covers 20 pages a month. Watch for watermarks, as on image-charts.com, and for file size caps on conversion tools such as Cloudmersive (2.5 MB) and Conversion Tools (20 MB).
