Show HN: Convert2PDF API – Convert, Compress, and Capture PDFs and Images

https://convert2pdfapi.com
3•convert2pdfapi•12h ago
Hey HN

We’ve just opened Convert2PDF API (Beta) — a developer-focused API suite for working with PDFs and images.

We built it to simplify document conversion workflows (without dealing with headless browsers or Ghostscript setups).

Current API features:

- Remove Metadata from PDF - Covert PDF to Doc - Convert Web Page → PDF - Convert Documents (DOCX, ODT) → PDF - Merge, Split, and Compress PDFs - Conver Images to PDF - Compress Images - and many more...

Try it instantly

We’ve made a Playground to test all APIs without writing code or creating an account.

https://convert2pdfapi.com?utm_source=hackernews&utm_medium=...

Why we built it

While working on a client project, we needed an API to convert reports from HTML and URLs to PDF.

Most existing tools were either too limited, expensive, or required browser setups.

So we built a lightweight, hosted alternative that’s easy to integrate into SaaS apps and automation workflows.

Feedback

We’re still in beta and would love feedback — especially from devs who’ve dealt with PDF generation or automation before.

Also curious what kind of pricing or usage model feels right for such an API.

Thanks for checking it out!
