What is Letterhead?

Letterhead allows you to reliably, easily and cost-effectively generate PDFs at global scale.

Letterhead solves the problem of generating transactional documents at high volume from your web application, online store or API. For example, your use case might be generating PDFs for:

• 📈 Reports
• 🧾 Receipts
• 🎫 Tickets
• 📦 Shipping documents

Why we built Letterhead

With our template editor and API, you can avoid the pitfalls we found while using other tools and handrolling scripts on various projects, which pushed us to build Letterhead.

Developers use Letterhead, because it’s:

• ⚙️ Reliable. Deliver consistent PDFs at any scale (without the DevOps). We handle the infrastructure, so you can focus on your product.
