Tired of Puppeteer memory leaks and wkhtmltopdf breaking your CSS? LightningPDF is a REST API that generates PDFs from HTML, CSS, and Markdown. What makes it different: • Dual engine — Go-native renders simple docs in <100ms, Chromium handles complex layouts • Visual template designer with live preview • Batch API, async jobs, and webhook notifications • Tailwind CSS built-in • Free tier — 50 PDFs/month, no credit card Works with any language: Python, Node.js, Go, PHP, cURL.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built LightningPDF because I got tired of shipping Puppeteer to production. Memory leaks, zombie Chrome processes, broken CSS — the usual. So I built an API with two engines: → A Go-native renderer that handles invoices and simple docs in under 100ms → Chromium for when you need pixel-perfect HTML/CSS rendering You send HTML (or Markdown), you get a PDF back. That's it. It also has a visual template designer if you don't want to write HTML, plus batch generation, webhooks, and async jobs for high-volume use cases. Free tier gives you 50 PDFs/month to try it out — no credit card needed. Would love to hear what you think: https://lightningpdf.dev/docs What's your current PDF generation setup? Curious what pain points you're hitting.
