What GoPDF is
GoPDF is a managed cloud API that converts HTML content or URLs into PDF documents. Chromium handles rendering, and Handlebars templates can receive supplied data. Its PDF operations include batch conversion, merging, watermarking, compression, password protection, and validation. Batch requests hold up to 50 items, with up to 10 rendered concurrently. Idempotency keys can return a cached result when reused within 24 hours. With storage enabled, GoPDF uploads PDFs and returns a signed URL. A demo API key requires no signup and is limited to 10 PDFs per day. Plans are Free at no cost for 1,000 PDFs per month, Starter at $9 a month for 5,000 PDFs, and Growth at $29 a month for 20,000 PDFs. SDKs are listed for Node.js, Python, Go, and Ruby, with agent examples for Claude, OpenAI, and LangChain. Signup says keys cannot be retrieved again.
