"Great assistance, super fast answers!"
"I tried Peedief on my platform and for my case usage it was almost perfect. I could create as many pdf templates as I wanted to and it was easy to connect. I just needed to add a feature for the preview of my created pdf before actually download it on the device. They helped me throught the whole process and delivered the release of the new version in just a week or two. Super happy about the choice!"

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The short version: templates in, JSON across the wire, PDF and preview links out.
What is Peedief?
Peedief is an AI-assisted PDF generation platform for developers and automation builders. Create or generate reusable document templates, pass JSON data through the API, and get hosted PDF and preview URLs back.
How is this different from Puppeteer or Playwright?
Puppeteer and Playwright are powerful, but you still own browser infrastructure, fonts, Docker images, crashes, timeouts, and scaling. Peedief turns PDF rendering into an API so you can ship document workflows without maintaining Chromium.
How does AI template generation help?
Instead of starting from a blank document, describe what you need and use AI-assisted generation to create a structured template. Then refine the design, connect JSON fields, and reuse it from your app or automation workflow.
What template features are available?
Templates support HTML/CSS customization, dynamic data binding, nested JSON, repeated lists, conditional sections, page sizing, and print-friendly layouts for invoices, certificates, reports, receipts, statements, and contracts.
Can I use Peedief from Make, Zapier, n8n, or Airtable?
Yes. Any tool that can send an HTTP request can generate a PDF with Peedief. It works well for form submissions, CRM events, Google Sheets or Airtable rows, course completions, and scheduled report workflows.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. You get 5 free PDF generations so you can test templates, API calls, preview URLs, and your end-to-end workflow before upgrading.
