Course handouts and certification PDFs

Generate course handouts and certification PDFs from HTML templates.

When a learner clicks “Complete module,” you want two things to happen instantly:

  1. A branded certificate slides into their inbox, ready to share on LinkedIn.
  2. A printable workbook drops into their downloads so they can revise offline.

With ScreenshotOne’s PDF Generation API, both files are created on‑the‑fly—no manual design work, no waiting for batch jobs.

How it works

  1. Design once in HTML/CSS Build a certificate or workbook page with your logo, colors, and dynamic placeholders ({{name}}, {{course}}, {{date}}, etc.).

  2. Call the API when the learner finishes

    Terminal window
    curl -X POST https://api.screenshotone.com/take \
    -d '{
    "url": "https://example.com/certificate",
    "format": "pdf",
    "access_key": "<your access key>"
    }'
  3. Deliver immediately Pipe the returned PDF to email, cloud storage, or a “Download workbook” button in your UI.

Why teams ship faster with ScreenshotOne

  • Pixel‑perfect branding – Every PDF mirrors the web version exactly, so marketing sign‑off is automatic.
  • Zero maintenance – No headless browsers or Puppeteer scripts to babysit; the API scales for peak course completions.
  • Global performance – CDN‑backed rendering means certificates reach learners worldwide in seconds.

Result

Your learners get instant, professional‑looking proof of achievement. You stay focused on creating content—ScreenshotOne handles the PDFs.

I am a very happy customer of ScreenshotOne by Dmytro Krasun.

I really wish all APIs would have great documentation, playground and SDKs like that. Dmytro really outdid himself.

Highly recommend 🤗
