PlutoPrint is a Python library for generating high-quality PDFs and PNG images from HTML or XML content, built on the PlutoBook rendering engine. It supports paged rendering with CSS, page-range exports, and a bundled command-line script.

Use cases

• generate pdf invoices from html templates
• convert html to pdf in python
• render html reports as png images
• create printable tickets from html
• export specific page ranges from an html document
• snapshot web content as images

When to choose

• you need paged, print-quality PDF output from HTML with CSS support
• you want a lightweight Python API without a headless browser
• you need both PDF and PNG rendering from the same HTML source

When to avoid

• you need to execute JavaScript in the HTML before rendering
• you require pixel-perfect rendering of complex modern web pages as a browser would
• you need formats other than PDF and PNG
