What PDFCrowd API is

PDFCrowd API converts HTML, URLs, PDFs, and images through cloud APIs, integrations, and online tools. HTTP or HTTPS requests can come from any language or platform supporting those protocols. Official libraries and command-line tools are listed for PHP, Java, .NET, Python, Node.js, Ruby, and Go. PDF operations include merging, page extraction or removal, watermarks, metadata, password protection, and permissions. The PDF to Image API renders selected pages as PNG, JPEG, or WebP with page, resolution, and crop controls. Integrations include WordPress, Zapier, Make, Postman, Bubble, Pipedream, and other workflow services. A free trial provides 100 test API credits for one month; paid plans start at $1.00 per month. Credits are based on output size at one per 0.5 MB and refresh each billing period. Overall conversion time is limited to 60 seconds. Files and generated output are deleted from active systems within 30 minutes.
