HTML2PDF Rocket vs iLoveAPI

HTML2PDF Rocket is a cloud service that converts a URL or submitted HTML into a PDF or image file. It can execute JavaScript while rendering pages, and its API lists JPG, PNG, BMP, and SVG as image outputs. PDF settings include page size, orientation, margins, grayscale, forms, print stylesheets, and headers and footers. The service is positioned for generating downloadable reports, brochures, and invoices from webpages. Code examples are provided for C#, JavaScript, PHP, Java, and Android, with links to examples for Python, Node.js, Go, and Swift. URL conversion supports SSL, HTTPS pages, and basic authentication. The maker says conversions taking over 30 seconds, or input or output files larger than 6 Mb, need batch or asynchronous parameters. The Free Plan costs nothing and includes 200 credits per month with a 5 Mb per-PDF limit; large PDFs use credits based on network traffic. BOOTSTRAPPED costs $5 a month and includes 500 credits and a 50 Mb per-PDF limit. Free generation stops when credit use reaches 100%, while paid accounts may continue at a slower generation rate.

iLoveAPI provides REST APIs for automating document processes, including PDF, image, and electronic-signature work. PDF operations cover organization, compression, conversion, editing, and security; image tools include compression, conversion, editing, cropping, resizing, and rotation. Its Signature REST API supports simple and certified legally binding electronic signatures. Files can be uploaded from a local drive or URL, and documents can be edited before batch processing. Developers have official SDKs for Python, Ruby, PHP, NodeJS, and .NET, alongside API references, libraries, examples, and webhooks for tracking uploads and downloads. The service supports processing regions and jurisdictions including Europe, the United States, France, Germany, Poland, India, and Singapore. iLoveAPI lists integrations with Zapier, Make, WordPress, Microsoft Power Automate, and n8n. Its free plan includes 2,500 monthly credits but excludes digital signatures; a free trial is also available. iLoveAPI says files are private and encrypted, and states that it is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant. Processed tasks and files are deleted after two hours, with immediate deletion available through the task endpoint.
