"Great assistance, super fast answers!"

"I tried Peedief on my platform and for my case usage it was almost perfect. I could create as many pdf templates as I wanted to and it was easy to connect. I just needed to add a feature for the preview of my created pdf before actually download it on the device. They helped me throught the whole process and delivered the release of the new version in just a week or two. Super happy about the choice!"

Why teams choose Peedief instead of rolling their own renderer

PDF generation looks simple until production: fonts, page breaks, headers, queues, browser crashes, and customer-specific templates.

🚀 Stop debugging Puppeteer in production

Keep your product focused on customers while Peedief handles HTML rendering, print CSS, page breaks, scaling, previews, and PDF delivery behind one API.

Rolling your own renderer:

Maintain Chromium, fonts, queues, and workers
Fight print CSS, A4 sizing, and page-break bugs
Rebuild template editing and preview flows yourself

With Peedief:

Create or generate templates once
Send structured JSON for each document
Get hosted PDF and preview URLs back
Support loops, conditions, and dynamic data lists

🔧 Templates your team can iterate on

Start from AI-generated templates, refine the HTML/CSS, map JSON fields, and reuse the same document workflow across your product and automation stack.

Template workflow:

AI-assisted starting points for common business documents
Editable HTML/CSS for precise brand and layout control
JSON placeholders, loops, conditionals, and nested data
Preview links for review, approval, and customer-facing portals

⚡ Production Ready

Enterprise-grade infrastructure with 99.9% uptime, global CDN, rate limiting, and authentication. Scale from prototype to millions of PDFs without changing a single line of code.

Enterprise Features:

99.9% uptime SLA with monitoring

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Peedief

What is Peedief?

Peedief is a template-to-PDF platform for developers and automation builders. Create or generate reusable HTML templates, pass JSON data through the API, and get hosted PDF and preview URLs back.

How is this different from Puppeteer or Playwright?

Puppeteer and Playwright are powerful, but you still own browser infrastructure, queues, fonts, Docker images, crashes, timeouts, and scaling. Peedief turns PDF rendering into an API so you can ship document workflows without maintaining Chromium.

How does AI template generation help?

Instead of starting with a blank HTML file, describe the document you need and use AI-assisted generation to create a structured template. Then refine the design, connect JSON fields, and reuse it from your app or automation workflow.

What template features are available?

Templates support custom HTML/CSS, dynamic data binding, nested JSON, repeated lists, conditional sections, page sizing, and print-friendly layouts for invoices, certificates, reports, receipts, statements, and contracts.

Can I use Peedief from Make, Zapier, n8n, or Airtable?

Yes. Any tool that can send an HTTP request can generate a PDF with Peedief. It works well for form submissions, CRM events, Google Sheets or Airtable rows, course completions, and scheduled report workflows.

Is there a free tier?

Yes. You get 5 free PDF generations so you can test templates, API calls, preview URLs, and your end-to-end workflow before upgrading.
