PDFmyURL is a URL/HTML-to-PDF service for developers and website operators. It offers an online conversion tool as well as a REST API, Batch URL API, full-site export, and an embeddable βSave as PDFβ button. Its pitch is that no software installation is required: a single interface can turn web pages, raw HTML, or entire websites into PDFs. The official site says the service has been running since 2008, with over 5 million PDFs generated per month and 99.99% uptime.
Its feature set is quite comprehensive: single-page URL to PDF, raw HTML to PDF, merging an entire website into one PDF, and batch URL output as either a single PDF or Zip/Tar archive. The API parameters are very granular, including page sizes such as A0-A9, B/C series, Letter, and Legal; custom margins; portrait/landscape orientation; viewport; scaling; print layout; ad removal; hiding cookie notices; grayscale; compression; lazy-load waiting; custom CSS; headers and footers; watermarks/stamps; background images; PDF encryption; and restrictions on printing, copying, and annotations. It also covers protected sites well, with support for Basic Auth, login forms, cookie jars, a login API, and conversion of intranet pages.
The documentation is fairly detailed, directly listing endpoints such as /api, /batch_api, /login_api, and /usage, along with GET/POST usage, parameter tables, response codes, and examples. Language examples are provided for PHP, JavaScript, C#/.NET, Python, Java, Perl, Ruby, and VB.NET, with support for cURL and Wget as well. It also mentions a .NET component and PHP library. For HTML/CSS support, the site explicitly mentions HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Bootstrap, and Flexbox, making it suitable for rendering modern web pages.
Standard plans are Starter at $20/month for 500 PDFs, Professional at $40/month for 2000 PDFs, and Advanced at $70/month for 5000 PDFs. Users can also choose volumes from 100 to 20000 PDFs/month, with higher custom plans available. Above 20000 PDFs, each additional 10000 PDFs costs $60/month. It supports free trials, annual billing, wire transfer, private servers, enterprise SLAs, and custom workflows. Regular technical support is via email, with a promised response on the same or next business day.
Its strengths are broad conversion coverage, highly detailed API options, and strong batch and full-site capabilities. It is well suited to invoices, reports, document export, legal archiving, audits, and publishing workflows. The downsides are that the site does not state that it is open source, and the standard model is a commercial hosted API; the free quota is not publicly listed, and a trial requires application; single conversions are capped at 60 seconds, which may limit complex pages. It is a good fit for teams that want quick integration rather than building their own Puppeteer/wkhtmltopdf stack.
The source text does not provide information about mainland China network access, payment support, or local nodes, so its access status is unknown. If you plan to use it for China-facing business, it is recommended to apply for a trial first and test access speed, connectivity to target sites, and payment feasibility. Alternatives include PDFShift, Api2Pdf, DocRaptor, or a self-hosted setup using Puppeteer/Playwright.
