Built for developers
who ship

Everything you need to automate document generation at scale — no browser infrastructure to manage.

High Fidelity Rendering

Powered by headless Chrome for pixel-perfect output. Every CSS property, every font, every shadow — rendered exactly as designed.

REST API

Simple JSON-based API that works with any language or framework. Send HTML, get documents.

Template Engine

Reusable templates with dynamic data injection. Build once, generate thousands.

Privacy First

Documents are never stored unless you opt in. Sensitive parameters are automatically redacted from logs.

Webhooks & Async

Fire-and-forget with async generation and real-time webhook notifications when your documents are ready.

Multilingual Support

Full Unicode and RTL support. Generate documents in Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, and 100+ other languages.

Three steps to your
first document

01

Design your template

Write HTML and CSS like you normally would — or pick from our pre-built templates. Use any framework, any font, any layout.

invoice.html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com">
<div class="p-8 max-w-lg mx-auto">
  <h1 class="text-2xl font-bold">
    Invoice #{{ invoiceNumber }}
  </h1>
  <p>{{ customerName }}</p>
</div>
02

Make an API call

Send your HTML or template ID plus dynamic data via REST API, SDKs, or Zapier.

curl
POST https://api.cloudlayer.io/v2/generate/pdf

{
  "html": "<h1>Invoice...</h1>",
  "options": {
    "format": "A4"
  }
}
03

Get your document

Receive a pixel-perfect PDF or image back. Use sync for real-time, or async with webhooks for batch processing.

Response
{
  "url": "https://cdn.cloudlayer.io/...",
  "status": "success",
  "duration": 1.2
}

If Chrome can render it,
we can generate it

cloudlayer.io uses headless Chrome under the hood. That means full support for modern HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, web fonts, flexbox, grid, animations — everything. If your HTML looks right in a browser, it will look right in your generated document.

CSS Frameworks

Use Bootstrap, Tailwind, or any CSS framework to create professionally designed documents with responsive layouts.

Full JavaScript

Dynamic content with jQuery, React, Angular, Vue, and any other JavaScript framework. Your code executes before rendering.

Custom Fonts

Import from Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, or any external source. Brand consistency across every document you generate.

External Images

Load images in any format Chrome supports — SVG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and more. No size limits, no restrictions.

Base64 Embedded

Embed images directly in your HTML as base64-encoded data URIs. No external dependencies, fully self-contained documents.

Reusable templates for
PDFs and images

Start with our pre-built template gallery or create custom templates with dynamic data injection. Build once, generate thousands of unique documents.

Pre-built Templates

Browse our gallery of professionally designed templates for invoices, certificates, social media posts, podcast covers, charts, and more. Clone any template and customize it with your own data.

Custom Templates

Create your own templates using HTML, CSS, and Nunjucks templating syntax. Support for culturally-aware date and number formatting, conditional logic, loops, and dynamic content injection via JSON.

How templates work

template.html
<h1>Invoice for {{ company }}</h1>
<table>
  {% for item in items %}
  <tr>
    <td>{{ item.name }}</td>
    <td>{{ item.price | currency }}</td>
  </tr>
  {% endfor %}
</table>
<p>Total: {{ total | currency }}</p>
