PDFBolt

Hey everyone! I’m Michał 👋 And I’m excited to introduce PDFBolt - a fast, secure, and developer-friendly HTML to PDF API that my wife and I built together.

💡 Why PDFBolt?
As a developer with 10+ years of experience, I wanted to create an end-to-end solution covering backend, payments, frontend, and deployment. I stumbled upon a discussion on Indie Hackers about an HTML to PDF API and thought it would be a great learning project!

What began as a side project turned into a long journey. Balancing work, life, and motivation wasn’t easy. I nearly gave up... Then my wife, who transitioned into IT, convinced me to finish it together. She handled frontend and testing, while I focused on backend and infra, and our shelter dog kept us motivated. 🐶 And now, PDFBolt is live! We’ve learned a lot along the way and are already happy with the journey.

Key Features of PDFBolt:
✅ Pixel-perfect PDFs – Chrome-powered, high-quality rendering.
✅ GDPR-compliant and private – no sensitive data stored, auto-deletion after 24 hours.
✅ Easy API integration – sync and async processing, webhooks, direct S3 uploads.
