Markdown in. Finished document out.

A PDF API for developers and AI agents. No template editor, no template IDs, no dashboard. One POST request, or one MCP tool call. Markdown comes with a stylesheet that makes agent-written documents look right by default.

built for	invoices · receipts · reports · agent output
send	Markdown, HTML, or a public URL
get back	PDF bytes, or a link that expires in an hour

05 · HOW IT WORKS

One request. Chromium renders it. You get a document.

bash — a real session

# send content, not a template id
$ curl -sS -X POST https://mintpdf.dev/v1/pdf \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{"markdown":"# Q3 report\n\nRevenue grew **12%**.",
          "pageNumbers":true, "footerText":"Acme Ltd"}' \
     -o report.pdf -D -

HTTP/2 200
content-type: application/pdf
x-ratelimit-remaining: 2

$ pdfinfo report.pdf | head -3
Pages:          3
Page size:      595 x 842 pts (A4)
File size:      166 kB

# prefer a link? add "output":"url"
$ curl -sS …/v1/pdf -d '{"markdown":"# Hi","output":"url"}'
{"download_url":"https://mintpdf.dev/f/…",
 "expires_at":"…","size_bytes":6751}  ✓
# the file is deleted an hour later

01 · SEND

Markdown, HTML, or a URL

One POST, or one MCP tool call from an agent. No template to design first, no template id to keep in sync with your code.

02 · RENDER

Headless Chromium, with print CSS that behaves

Markdown gets a stylesheet that keeps code blocks and tables whole across page breaks and repeats table headers. Send HTML instead and your own CSS is used as-is.

03 · TAKE IT

PDF bytes, or a link that expires

Stream the file straight into your response, or take a download URL valid for one hour. Nothing is stored afterwards.

06 · FREE KEY
