About TemplateFox
TemplateFox is a PDF generation service that lets users design document templates visually and generate PDFs through an API, no-code platforms, or native libraries. Templates are built with a visual editor supporting repeating headers and footers, dynamic data binding for fields like names, addresses, and prices, tables that expand automatically to fit data across multiple pages, and built-in QR code and barcode generation (including Code128 and EAN-13). The template system also supports expressions and over 100 built-in functions for formatting dates, calculating totals, and rounding numbers, along with system variables such as page number and current date.
PDFs can be generated by sending an HTTP POST request to an API endpoint with a template ID and data payload, which returns a URL to the rendered PDF. Native libraries are available for TypeScript, Python, Go, PHP, Ruby, Java, and C#, with a TypeScript SDK published on GitHub and installable via npm. For users who prefer not to write code, TemplateFox integrates with Zapier, Make, n8n, Airtable, and Bubble to automate PDF generation within existing workflows.
The service provides a library of ready-made templates for documents including invoices, packing slips, certificates, receipts, and shipping labels, which can be customized with branding. TemplateFox reports over 100 developers using it in production, more than 100,000 PDFs generated, and 99.997% uptime measured over the last 90 days. A free tier offering 60 PDFs per month is available without requiring a credit card. The product targets developers and businesses in areas such as ecommerce, logistics, education, and no-code agency work who need to automate the creation of business documents.
