SnapHTML React

React HTML to PDF

Render PDFs from React-rendered HTML through a dedicated rendering API instead of relying on client-side hacks or brittle browser exports.

Render React views to HTML and export clean PDFs
Useful for invoices, statements, and downloadable reports
Works well with backend routes and worker queues
const res = await fetch("/api/pdf", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "content-type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ html: htmlString })
});
const blob = await res.blob();

How React teams usually implement this

The cleanest setup is to render the React view to an HTML string on the server, then hand that markup to SnapHTML for reliable PDF output.

Render First

Convert your component tree into HTML before calling the PDF endpoint for predictable document output.

Template-Friendly

React component templates are a practical fit for invoices, reports, and account statements.

Production Ready

Shift heavy rendering into backend jobs once volume grows beyond ad hoc document downloads.

SnapHTML Workflow

React Is Great For Templates, APIs Are Better For Rendering

Use React where it is strong: composing document markup. Use SnapHTML where it is strong: turning that markup into stable output.

Developer integration guides

Tech-stack pages help developers find the most practical integration path for their existing stack.

Stack-specific examples

Keep examples specific to Node.js/Python workflow patterns.

Fast onboarding

Provide one-copy command examples and expected output behavior.

Docs bridge

Route users to quickstart, auth, and error handling docs.

FAQ

Should I self-host Puppeteer or use API?
