HTML→PDF was a workaround. Typst is a real layout engine designed for documents. The result: cleaner output, less plumbing, faster runs.
~75 ms warm renders
Compute is a Rust + axum binary inside a Cloudflare Container. No Chrome process boot, no V8 warmup. Wire-time of an HTTP call, end of story.
Page-perfect breaks
Pagination is a first-class concern in Typst's layout engine.
No widow/orphan hacks, no page-break-inside: avoid
incantations, no surprise blank pages.
Templates with data merge
Upload a Typst template once, render it from any backend with
a JSON data payload. Real branching,
loops, math. Not string replacement.
One template. Every customer.
Drop a .typ
file in your R2 bucket. Reference it by id. Send your data as JSON. Get the PDF back.
Templates are real Typst — you have if,
for,
functions, math, tables, your fonts. We just inject your data
as a top-level data binding.
// data is whatever JSON you POST. Pure Typst from here.
#set page(margin: 2cm)
#text(size: 22pt, weight: "bold")[
Invoice #data.invoice.number
]
*Bill to:* #data.to.name
*Date:* #data.invoice.date
#table(
columns: (1fr, auto, auto),
[*Item*], [*Qty*], [*Total*],
..data.items.map(it => (
[#it.description],
[#it.quantity],
["€" + str(it.unit_price * it.quantity)],
)).flatten()
)From zero to PDF in 30 seconds.

Free tier with a hard cap so a runaway loop never lands a four-figure bill. Paid plans bill predictable monthly with cents-per-PDF overage.
