On premises and dedicated

A self hosted PDF API for your own infrastructure

Yes, you can run PDF Generator API as a self hosted, on premise PDF API entirely on your own servers. Deploy it on premises from a Docker image so documents are generated inside your own network, or have us run a dedicated single tenant instance for you in the region of your choice. Either way, enterprise teams keep the full embeddable editor and REST API, and your document data stays under your control.

On premises·You host it yourself
A Docker image you deploy on your own servers, VPC or private cloud, so nothing leaves your network. Unlimited servers, deployed with Docker Compose or Kubernetes, on a perpetual license.

Best for: enterprise finance, healthcare, public sector and air gapped environmentsSee the Docker install →

Dedicated·We host it for you
Your own single tenant instance, operated by us in the United States (Virginia), Europe (Frankfurt), the United Kingdom (London) or Australia (Sydney), with your own subdomain and a custom editor theme.

Best for: data residency in a chosen region without running the infrastructureExplore dedicated deployment →

Don’t need to host it yourself? Our standard cloud plans may be a better fit.

On premise PDF API vs dedicated deployment

A quick comparison of the two ways to run PDF Generator API outside our shared cloud: self hosted on premises, or a dedicated instance we host for you.

Who controls the data You do. Documents never leave your network, so you stay the controller and processor We host it in your chosen region under a signed DPA, with TLS and encryption at rest
Capacity Unlimited servers, deployed with Docker Compose or Kubernetes From 1 million documents per month and 120 requests per minute
Licensing Perpetual license, with optional support and updates Custom license, available annually or monthly

FAQ

Can I run PDF Generator API on my own servers or VPC?
Yes. You run a Docker image on your own servers, VPC or private cloud, so generation happens entirely within your network. Prefer a managed option? We can run a dedicated single tenant instance for you in the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom or Australia instead.
If you host it yourself, who controls the data, and how does GDPR apply?
You do. When you host it yourself, your documents are generated inside your own infrastructure and nothing is sent to us during generation, so you remain the data controller and processor. That is precisely what makes on premises straightforward for GDPR, data residency and strict internal security policies.
Can you keep everything inside the EEA?
Yes. When you host it yourself, everything stays in your own environment. With a dedicated deployment, choose the Europe (Frankfurt) region to keep all processing inside the EEA, or another region, such as the United Kingdom or Australia, if that suits your requirements.
Do you support air gapped or offline deployments?
It runs entirely inside your network, with authentication also handled inside your private network. For a fully air gapped or offline setup, talk to our team so we can confirm the requirements for your environment.
How is on premises or dedicated deployment priced?
On premises is a perpetual license with optional annual support and updates. A dedicated deployment is a custom license, available annually or monthly. Both are arranged through our team.

The drag and drop builder is the main reason we switched. Our designer can now build and adjust templates directly, without touching the code.

It would be really hard without this for us to build the PDF documents our clients need. It has saved us hundreds, maybe thousands of hours.

Everything in this document is generated with PDF Generator. It works seamlessly with our CRM and automation system. That was essential for us.
