Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Cooper, and I built PDFOven. Why I built it: almost every project I’ve worked on eventually needs to spit out a PDF: an invoice, a receipt, a monthly report, a certificate. Every time, I ended up running headless Chrome myself and fighting the same problems: memory spikes, missing fonts, slow cold starts, and serverless size limits. I wanted one API call that just works, so I built it. What it does: send HTML, Markdown, a URL, or JSON for a saved template, and get back a PDF or PNG rendered by real Chromium, the same engine as Chrome’s print preview. You design a template once with HTML/CSS and Handlebars in the editor (with a live preview), then send it data. There’s also a built-in MCP server, so Claude, Cursor and other AI agents can create documents directly. What’s free: • 100 renders a month on the API, with no credit card needed • Free no-signup tools at pdfoven.com/tools: invoice, quote, receipt, pay stub and packing slip generators, plus HTML, Markdown and URL to PDF • Starter templates for invoices, receipts, pay stubs, packing slips, certificates and reports Paid plans start at $12/month, and rendered files are never stored. I’d love your feedback: which document templates should I add next? Contracts, shipping labels, résumés, purchase orders, tickets, something else? And if you’ve wrestled with PDF generation before, I’d love to hear what was most painful. I’ll be here all day answering questions.
