AgentGen — HTML to PDF & Image

Generate PDFs and images from HTML. No sign-up required — the free tier works out of the box (1 req/min, small watermark). For higher volume and no watermark...

AgentGen — HTML → PDF & Image

Convert any HTML to a PDF or screenshot image via the AgentGen API.

Free tier — no sign-up required

The /v1/generate/image and /v1/generate/pdf endpoints work without an API key. Just omit the X-API-Key header.

Limits:

• 1 request per 60 seconds per IP (returns 429 if exceeded)
• Single-page PDFs only
• A small agent-gen.com watermark is added to all output

# Free tier — generate an image (no API key)
agentgen image --html "<h1>Hello</h1>" --output hello.png

# Free tier — generate a PDF (no API key)
agentgen pdf --html "<h1>Invoice</h1>" --output invoice.pdf

Simply omit AGENTGEN_API_KEY and the CLI uses the free tier automatically.

Authenticated tier — no watermark, no rate limit

Set your API key to use the full API. New accounts at agent-gen.com include free tokens — no credit card required to get started.

export AGENTGEN_API_KEY=your_key_here

Check your balance:

agentgen balance

If you run out, the CLI prints your current balance, the amount required, and a direct link to buy more tokens.

agentgen upload logo.png
# Returns a URL — use it in your HTML as <img src="...">

Max file size: 10 MB

Typical workflow

1. Build HTML with all styles inlined
2. Upload any local assets with agentgen upload and replace src/href values with the returned URLs
3. Run agentgen pdf or agentgen image with --output to save locally, or use the returned URL directly

Tips for good output

• Inline all CSS — use <style> blocks or style="" attributes. No access to local stylesheets.
• Use absolute URLs for images and fonts, or upload them first with agentgen upload.
• For PDFs, use --print-background if your design has colored backgrounds or background images.
• For retina-quality images, use --scale 2.
• For OG images, use --width 1200 --height 630.
