# Leafwright

> Generate PDFs without running headless Chrome. Leafwright is a document studio and PDF API: render HTML, public URLs, or Handlebars templates to PDF with one API call — no headless Chrome in your bundle. AI drafts templates and repairs them from render logs. Free tier: 100 PDFs/month, no credit card.

- [Give Claude Code (or Cursor) the ability to make PDFs](https://leafwright.co/blog/pdf-generation-mcp-for-ai-agents): Install the Leafwright MCP server and your AI coding agent can render PDFs, build templates, and debug broken layouts from render logs — without you leaving the editor.
- [Add PDF export to your v0 or Lovable app in 5 minutes](https://leafwright.co/blog/add-pdf-export-to-your-ai-built-app): You built an app with v0, Lovable, or Bolt and now someone wants a 'Download PDF' button.

## Compare

- [Leafwright vs PDFMonkey](https://leafwright.co/vs/pdfmonkey): Weighing a PDFMonkey alternative? Leafwright renders raw HTML, URLs, and Handlebars to PDF — no template step first — with an AI studio, MCP for agents, and 100 free PDFs a month.
- [Leafwright vs DocRaptor](https://leafwright.co/vs/docraptor): Weighing a DocRaptor alternative? At ~$79/month Leafwright includes 15,000 PDFs to DocRaptor's 1,250, plus a template studio, AI drafting, and MCP. Where Prince XML still wins, we say so.
