Hey folks,

I stumbled on something recently that I think many of you who play with automation (especially in N8N, Zapier, or Make) will appreciate. It’s called **H2PNG**, and basically it does one thing — **convert HTML into PNG images via API** — but it does it *really* well.

I know there are popular tools out there like **CloudConvert**, **Convertio**, and **FreeConvert**. They’re fine for quick, one-off jobs. But when you need to **embed this inside a workflow** (reports, dashboards, receipts, banners, course certificates, etc.), those platforms start showing their limits: either they’re too slow, too click-heavy, or they don’t give you the fine control you’d want in automation.

What surprised me about H2PNG:

* ⚡ **Speed:** The API responds in milliseconds. I tested it on a batch process and the bottleneck was my flow, not the image generation.
* 🎯 **Control:** You can define width, height, quality %, even inline CSS. No guessing about how your output will look.
* 🔒 **Secure:** API key auth + encrypted requests. Straightforward but feels professional.
* 🤝 **Integration-friendly:** Works natively in any language (Python, Node.js, PHP, etc.) and plugs seamlessly into automation tools.

The pricing is surprisingly fair too:

* Free plan = 30 conversions/month (good for testing).
* $7/month = 210 conversions.
* $67/year = unlimited + priority support.

# Quick Start

One thing I liked is that they give you a **📦 Bash Example using curl** out of the box. You literally just copy/paste, replace your API key and tweak the HTML or settings (width, height, quality), and you’re good to go.

    curl -X POST https://www.h2png.com/api \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "html": "<h1>Hello, World!</h1>",
        "apikey": "[your_api_key_here]",
        "return_type": "url",
        "width": 1080,
        "height": 1350,
        "quality": 75
    }'

# Example with N8N

After testing with curl, I tried it in N8N and it felt almost too easy. Here’s a minimal flow:

1. **Webhook Node** → Receive HTML payload from another service.
2. **HTTP Request Node** → same config as above, just drop it in.
3. **Set/Function Node** → grab the `image_url` and send it to Slack, Drive, or Email.

That’s it. HTML → PNG at scale, without screenshots or design tools.

Anyway, just wanted to share this because I know a lot of us here are always hunting for little “glue” services that make automations cleaner. If you’ve been looking for a reliable HTML→PNG solution that’s developer- and automation-friendly, this one is worth checking out.
