PDF EXPORT

Turn any web page into a PDF with one API call

Set format to pdf on the same screenshot endpoint you already use, and get back a document instead of an image — reports, invoices, dashboards, and archived pages, without running a separate PDF rendering service.

How the PDF export works

There's no separate PDF endpoint to learn. The same v1 and v2 screenshot requests you already use accept format: "pdf" alongside png, jpeg, and webp — the page is rendered by a real browser and exported as a document instead of an image.

1

One parameter change

Swap format to pdf on an existing screenshot request — no new integration.

2

Full-page by default makes sense here

Most PDF use cases want the entire page, not just the first viewport — pair with fullSize: true.

3

Same cleanup options apply

hideCookie and hide still work, so exported documents don't carry banners or debug UI.

4

Real rendering, not a print stylesheet hack

The page renders exactly as a browser would show it, including JavaScript-driven content.

    "fullSize": true,
    "hideCookie": true
  }'
