Allows uploading image files directly from the dashboard and referencing them in HTML. This is suitable for fixed images in PDFs, like logos, and supports reuse in different PDF generations. It doesn’t support subdirectory paths.
External Image References
Enables direct reference to images that are already hosted on the internet. This method bypasses the need to upload images manually to the dashboard by using URLs.
Base64 Encoding
Allows embedding images directly within HTML by using base64 encoding. This method eliminates the need for external image references and ensures images are always available.
Upload from Dashboard
You can upload CSS files directly from the dashboard, which are then available for reference in your HTML. This allows for centralized management of style sheets within the platform.

Generated PDFs are instantly reflected in the preview screen, allowing for immediate feedback during development.
Free for Development
API requests with 'preview: true' are not counted towards your usage quota, enabling cost-free testing and development.
