DokiFly is a hosted HTML-to-PDF API designed to streamline document generation without requiring a dedicated backend. It offers a dashboard where users can build templates visually, describe desired documents in plain English, or paste sample JSON to let an AI builder generate editable Handlebars templates. The service then renders those templates into PDFs through a simple POST /v1/pdf/generate endpoint, supporting raw HTML, saved template IDs, or public URLs as input. The platform targets no-code and low-code users as well as developers. It integrates with popular automation platforms like n8n, Make, Bubble, and FlutterFlow, and features official listings in the n8n and Bubble marketplace. DokiFly returns raw PDF bytes by default, or an optional CDN URL lasting seven days; paid tiers add permanent file storage, webhooks, batch processing, and higher usage limits. Under the hood, DokiFly uses headless Chromium on AWS Lambda to render HTML with full support for fonts, flexbox, and page breaks. Users can combine saved templates with JSON data using Handlebars logic, including currency, dates, math, and conditionals. The service includes a dashboard generate button for quick testing, live preview, page size/margin settings, and a usage meter, making it a practical option for automating invoices, reports, and similar documents.
