What is Gotenberg?
Gotenberg is a containerized API that abstracts the complexity of PDF conversion.
It provides a multipart/form-data interface for interacting with powerful engines like Chromium and LibreOffice.
Instead of managing heavy dependencies, browser versions, or fonts in your own backend, simply send your files to Gotenberg and get a PDF in return.
Quick Start
Spin up a container and convert a URL to PDF in two commands:
# 1. Start the container.
docker run --rm -p "3000:3000" gotenberg/gotenberg:8
# 2. Convert a URL to PDF.
curl \
--request POST http://localhost:3000/forms/chromium/convert/url \
--form url=https://sparksuite.github.io/simple-html-invoice-template/ \
-o invoice.pdf
