About

Ironfang Render is a rendering API for generating screenshots, PDFs, dynamic images, QR codes, captioned clips, and scrolling website previews from URLs, raw HTML, or structured JSON. It exposes a standard HTTPS and JSON API with browser-based rendering handled by Ironfang's UK-operated Chromium fleet.

The service includes per-account monthly allowances, including 500 screenshots free each month, 100 PDFs, 250 templated images, 120 output seconds for video, 120 preview seconds for site previews, and free QR code generation. It is aimed at developers who need browser rendering without running their own browser infrastructure, with controls for page size, page ranges, headers and footers, signed URLs, authentication, and page blocking options.
