tinypdf is a minimal TypeScript library for creating PDF documents with under 400 lines of code and zero dependencies. It supports text, shapes, JPEG images, links, multiple pages, and markdown-to-PDF conversion while intentionally omitting features like custom fonts, PNG/SVG, forms, and encryption.

Use cases

• generate invoices as pdfs
• create receipts programmatically
• build pdf reports from data
• make shipping labels
• generate event tickets
• create certificates in code
• convert markdown to pdf
• export data as pdf documents

When to choose

• you only need text, shapes, JPEG images, and links on pages
• bundle size matters and you want a tiny zero-dependency library
• generating invoices, receipts, labels, tickets, or certificates
• you want a simple programmatic API instead of heavyweight pdf libraries

When to avoid

• you need Unicode or custom TTF fonts
• you need PNG, GIF, or SVG image support
• you need forms, encryption, compression, or vector graphics
• you need HTML-to-PDF conversion
