Rendex
Rendex: Turn HTML, URLs, or Markdown into images and PDFs with one API call.
Rendex is a screenshot and rendering API that converts HTML, URLs, or Markdown into images and PDFs through a single POST request. It handles rendering on headless Chromium at edge locations, so callers do not need to provision or manage browser infrastructure. Output can be streamed directly, returned as a signed URL, or delivered via signed webhook.
The API supports batch rendering, data templating, full-page capture, device presets, dark mode emulation, ad and cookie-banner blocking, element cropping, and geo-targeting. It integrates with n8n, Make, Zapier, Power Automate, Pipedream, and Activepieces, and exposes an MCP server for AI agents such as Claude and Cursor. Official TypeScript and Python SDKs are available alongside a plain REST API. A Rendex Watch feature monitors pages and produces visual diffs with email or webhook alerts.
Rendex is aimed at developers, automation builders, and AI agent workflows that need rendered artifacts without managing browsers. It is packaged in four tiers with a hard usage cap on each plan, billed monthly or annually, and includes a free tier with a monthly allowance of renders.
