Grover is a Ruby gem that converts HTML (or a URL) into PDFs, PNGs, or JPEGs by driving Google Puppeteer and Chromium. It integrates easily with Rails views and supports configuration via Puppeteer options and HTML meta tags.

Use cases

  • convert html to pdf in ruby
  • generate pdf from rails view template
  • take website screenshots as png or jpeg
  • render a url to pdf with custom page size
  • print html reports to pdf in a ruby app

When to choose

  • you need high-fidelity HTML-to-PDF rendering in a Ruby or Rails application
  • you want Chromium-accurate rendering including CSS and JavaScript
  • you need both PDF and image (PNG/JPEG) output from HTML

When to avoid

  • you don't want a Node.js/Puppeteer and Chromium dependency
  • you need pure-Ruby PDF generation without a headless browser
  • you're not working in the Ruby ecosystem
