A Laravel service provider wrapping the KnpLabs Snappy library to generate PDFs and images from HTML via wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltoimage binaries. It provides facades and configuration for PDF and image generation within Laravel applications.
Use cases
- generate pdf from html in laravel
- convert blade templates to pdf invoices
- render html to image screenshots in php
- create downloadable pdf reports from web pages
- generate pdf documents with wkhtmltopdf in laravel
When to choose
- you use Laravel and need HTML-to-PDF or HTML-to-image conversion
- you want a simple facade-based API over wkhtmltopdf
- your layouts rely on WebKit rendering of HTML/CSS
When to avoid
- you need a pure-PHP PDF generator without external binaries
- wkhtmltopdf is deprecated in your environment or unavailable on your host
- you need modern CSS/JS rendering beyond WebKit's capabilities
