Frequently asked questions

Everything developers ask before integrating DocBrew.

What is DocBrew?
DocBrew is a developer API that converts HTML or any URL into pixel-perfect PDFs with a single HTTP request. It runs on managed headless Chrome / Puppeteer infrastructure so you don't have to host your own.
How do I convert HTML to PDF in Node.js, Python, or PHP?
Send a POST request to https://api.docbrew.io/v1/pdf with a JSON body containing either { url } or { html }, plus your API key in the Authorization header. The response is a binary application/pdf. Works from any language with an HTTP client — Node.js fetch, Python requests, PHP Guzzle, Go net/http, Ruby Net::HTTP.
Can I generate invoice and receipt PDFs?
Yes. DocBrew is commonly used to render invoice, receipt, and report templates from server-side HTML — including Laravel Blade, EJS, Handlebars, JSX, or static HTML. Pass the rendered HTML in the html field and DocBrew returns the PDF.
Does DocBrew support custom page sizes, margins, and headers?
Yes. The /v1/pdf endpoint accepts options for format (A4, Letter, Legal, custom mm/in), margin, landscape, scale, displayHeaderFooter, headerTemplate, footerTemplate, and waitFor (CSS selector or timeout) for pages with async content.
How is DocBrew different from running my own Puppeteer?
Running Puppeteer in production means managing Chrome binaries, font installation, container memory, retries, and concurrency. DocBrew handles all of that — you get a stateless API call. For low volumes self-hosting can be cheaper, but it stops being free the first time Chrome OOMs in your serverless function.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. The free plan includes monthly PDF credits with no credit card required. Paid plans add higher rate limits, larger PDFs, and priority rendering.
Which frameworks does DocBrew work with?
Any framework that can make an HTTP POST. Common integrations: Next.js / React Server Components, Laravel, Django, Rails, Express, FastAPI, Spring Boot, .NET, Go services. The API is framework-agnostic.
Do you store the PDFs I generate?
By default PDFs are streamed back in the HTTP response and not persisted. If you pass return=url DocBrew temporarily stores the file and returns a signed URL with a configurable expiry. You can disable storage entirely on enterprise plans.
