Convert Web Page to PDF, Pixel Perfect

Browser print dialogs mangle layouts, cut columns in half and lose backgrounds. Sitepdf renders the page in real Chromium, waits for your content, and returns a PDF that looks like the page, plus a timestamped copy of it, archived.

§ 01

Why web page to PDF conversions go wrong

A web page is a living layout: responsive breakpoints, lazy loaded images, charts that draw after the data arrives, fonts that swap in late. Naive converters snapshot the page before it finishes becoming itself. That is how you get PDFs with empty chart boxes, fallback fonts and a cookie banner across the content.

Getting it right means rendering in a real browser engine, waiting for the page to settle, then printing with proper page break rules. That is precisely the pipeline Sitepdf runs for every call: managed Chromium, a configurable wait for selector, then a print grade render to A4, Letter or Legal.

§ 02

The part everyone forgets: what did the page say?

Most teams convert a page to PDF because someone needs a record: a confirmation page after a payment, a published price, a policy as it stood on a given day. A PDF on someone's laptop is a weak record. It has no chain back to the source and no timestamp anyone has to believe.

Sitepdf treats the record as part of the product. Every render can be archived: a snapshot of the page stored with its capture time, retrievable by API forever after. The document goes to your user, the timestamped archive goes to whoever asks in two years. One call does both.

§ 03

Try the rendering engine on your own markup

The demo above converts pasted HTML entirely in your browser, so you can judge the output quality with zero setup. Fetching live URLs needs a server, browsers will not fetch arbitrary sites cross origin, so live page conversion is an API feature: see the URL to PDF API for the one call version, or read how it works end to end.

The API shape early access unlocks: URL in, rendered PDF plus archive out.

curl https://api.sitepdf.com/v1/render \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SITEPDF_KEY" \
  -d url="https://example.com/pricing" \
  -d wait_for="#pricing-table" \
  -d format=A4 \
  -d archive=true

The API is in early access; this is the documented call shape it opens with. Full request and response walkthrough.

Questions about this job

How is this different from pressing Ctrl+P in my browser?

Print dialogs use screen CSS with unpredictable results, break layouts at arbitrary points, and produce a file with no provenance. A rendering API waits for the page to finish loading, applies print rules consistently, runs unattended at any volume, and with Sitepdf also stores a timestamped snapshot of the page.

Can it handle pages that need JavaScript to display content?

Yes. Pages render in real Chromium with JavaScript enabled, and you can tell the render to wait for a specific selector so charts, tables and lazy content are on screen before the PDF is written.

Can I convert a page behind a login?

Authenticated capture, custom headers and cookies are on the launch roadmap for the API. Tell us your case when you join early access; it directly shapes what ships first.

Do you keep a copy of the pages I convert?

Only if you ask for it. By default a render is transient: we return the PDF and store nothing. With archive=true the snapshot is stored under your account, with retention you control and delete on request.
