## FAQ

**Can I convert a web page instead of HTML?**

Yes. Pass either html or the public url of the page. The page is rendered with Chromium like printing in the browser, including CSS, web fonts and images.

**Which page settings can I change?**

Paper format (A4 by default), landscape, margin as CSS length (1cm by default) and whether backgrounds are printed (on by default).

**How do I use it in Make or n8n?**

Call it with an HTTP request: POST to the endpoint with your API key in the X-API-KEY header and a JSON body. The answer is the PDF file.
