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

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.
