Screenshots, documents and handwriting, one HTTP call away.

Render any URL to an image or PDF. Merge, split, compress, convert and read documents. Turn photos of handwriting into text. No headless browser to babysit, no LibreOffice to install, no queue to run.

That is the whole integration. Every endpoint takes multipart form fields and returns the finished bytes. No job IDs, no polling, no webhooks to receive.

Every response carries X-Credits-Charged and X-Credits-Remaining, so you always know where you stand without a separate billing call.

Built for the awkward parts

Cookie banners hidden

Consent overlays are suppressed by default, so screenshots show the page, not a GDPR dialog.

Honest compression

The real before and after sizes come back in headers. If a file can't shrink, you get the original, never a bigger one.

Errors you can act on

Every failure returns a typed code and a sentence saying what to change. No bare 500s.

Handwriting that holds up

About 98.7% of characters right on tilted, unevenly lit phone photos in our tests. Blank pages return empty text, not invented words.

Errors

  "error": "document_error",
  "message": "Page range '1-99' is outside the document's 1-5 pages."
