1 credit = up to 10 pages. Start free, upgrade when you need more.

Try without signing up: render Markdown to PDF on /api/v1/md without an account. Stricter per-IP limits apply (60/hour, 200/day, 20 pages per render). Sign up for higher limits, saved renders, and the rest of the API.

How credits work

What is a credit?
1 credit covers up to 10 pages. A 1-page receipt costs 1 credit. A 12-page document costs 2 credits.
Authoring vs rendering
Drafting a template is free: iterate with /api/v1/preview and save via /api/v1/templates at no charge. Credits are only deducted when you render a saved template with real data via /api/v1/render.
Do unused credits roll over?
Monthly plan credits reset each billing period. Growth wallet credits never expire and can be topped up anytime.
What's the watermark?
Free and Hobbyist plans include a small "makespdf.com" link at the bottom of each page. Starter and Growth plans produce clean, white-labeled PDFs.
Can I change plans?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime from your billing settings. Subscription changes take effect at the next billing period.
Out of credits mid-month?
Buy a Growth top-up anytime for an instant boost — 2,500 wallet credits that never expire, stacked on top of your monthly allowance. No plan change required.
