RenderKit vs ConvertAPI
ConvertAPI is a broad document-conversion suite (HTML→PDF among 200+ formats). RenderKit is the render-native alternative for the web cases: pixel-accurate HTML/URL-to-PDF with print CSS, plus screenshots and markdown on the same key.
| RenderKit | ConvertAPI | |
|---|---|---|
| Screenshot API | ||
| PDF API | ||
| Markdown extraction | ||
| MCP server for agents | ||
| JSX-to-PDF | ||
| Entry price | $9/mo | credit packs |
Why teams switch from ConvertAPI
Render-native PDF: real Chromium print pipeline, print CSS, headers/footers, custom page sizes
JSX-to-PDF — render a React component to paper, no HTML template to maintain
Screenshots and LLM-ready markdown from the same key and meter
Predictable monthly plans instead of per-conversion credit math
Common questions
No — RenderKit is web-render focused (URL/HTML/JSX → image, PDF, markdown). For office-document format conversion (DOCX↔XLSX, etc.) ConvertAPI is the broader tool; for web rendering RenderKit is faster to integrate and cheaper at volume.
Yes — POST html (or url, or jsx) to /v1/pdf with margins, page size, and print-background controls.
