## What it is
A Symfony bundle integrating the Snappy PHP wrapper around wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltoimage, letting Symfony apps convert HTML documents or URLs into PDF files and images via the WebKit engine. It registers configurable services for PDF and image generation.

## Use cases
- generate pdf invoices from html templates in symfony
- convert html page to pdf for download
- render a url to an image screenshot
- create pdf reports from twig views
- export html to image in php

## When to choose
- you have a Symfony app and need server-side HTML-to-PDF or HTML-to-image conversion
- your HTML is simple and doesn't rely on modern ES6 JavaScript
- you want a maintained wrapper around wkhtmltopdf with Symfony service integration

## When to avoid
- your pages depend heavily on modern JavaScript/ES6 rendering, since wkhtmltopdf lacks full ES6 support
- you need pixel-perfect rendering of complex modern CSS
- you're not using Symfony and only need the underlying Snappy library

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: pdf, image-processing, templating
- domain: web-development, pdf, files
- platform: php, self-hosted
