jsPDF is a JavaScript library that enables creation of PDF documents directly in the browser or Node.js. It provides a simple API to add text, images, and shapes and to save the result as a PDF file.
Use cases
- Generate PDF files from HTML content in the browser
- Create downloadable PDFs for reports or invoices using JavaScript
- Convert canvas or chart images to PDF format on the client side
- Export form data as a PDF document without a server
- Produce multi-page PDFs with custom layouts in web applications
When to choose
- When you need client‑side PDF generation without a backend service
- If you prefer a lightweight pure‑JavaScript solution that works in both browsers and Node
- When you want easy integration with existing web projects and build tools
When to avoid
- If you require advanced PDF features such as PDF/A compliance or complex forms
- When high‑performance, server‑side PDF generation is needed for large volumes
- If you need strict security or encryption features not provided by jsPDF
