Launching PDFLoom: a developer-first PDF API for indie SaaS

PDFLoom is a simple API for turning HTML, URLs, and Office files into pixel-perfect PDFs and screenshots. It is built for indie SaaS teams and small product shops that want reliable output without maintaining headless browsers.

Why we built it

Shipping PDFs usually turns into a time sink. You start with a script, add Puppeteer, and then spend weekends chasing broken fonts, memory spikes, and cold-start timeouts. We built PDFLoom so small teams could skip the maintenance and focus on their product.

What is different

Developer-first docs with clear examples for HTML, URL, and document conversion.
Credit-based pricing that stays friendly for low-to-mid volume workloads.
Founder support when you hit edge cases or need help migrating.

Quickstart: HTML to PDF

Create a PDF from HTML

curl -X POST https://api.pdfloom.com/v1/convert/html \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{
    "content": "<html><body><h1>Hello PDFLoom</h1></body></html>",
    "options": { "format": "A4", "printBackground": true }
  }'

You will receive a signed S3 URL that is valid for 30 minutes. For more detail, see the Quickstart or Convert API.

What is next

Over the next month we will publish tutorials, comparison pages, and practical examples based on real integrations. If there is a specific workflow you want covered, just reply to any support email and we will prioritize it.
