Typcraft is a document generation platform that combines a visual drag-and-drop editor with a high-performance REST API. Design templates once in the browser, then generate thousands of personalized documents programmatically.
Unlike tools that render PDFs through a headless browser (Chrome/Puppeteer), Typcraft uses Typst โ a modern typesetting engine written in Rust. This produces publication-quality typography with crisp vector output, faster compilation, and consistent rendering across all documents.
What you can build: - Invoices, receipts, and billing documents - FDA nutrition labels and compliance documents - Certificates, diplomas, and awards - Reports, proposals, and contracts - Shipping labels and ID badges - Any structured document that needs to be generated from data
Key capabilities: - Visual editor with 15+ block types (text, tables, charts, barcodes, QR codes, images, shapes, diagrams) - Data binding โ connect any field to your JSON payload - Conditional rendering โ show or hide sections based on data - Template versioning โ pin API integrations to specific template versions - 1,900+ Google Fonts built in - PDF, PNG, and SVG output from a single template - Synchronous and asynchronous generation modes - Free tools (invoice generator, nutrition label maker) with no signup required

Typcraft AZIPCODETypcraft's answer
Typcraft uses Typst โ a modern typesetting engine written in Rust โ instead of rendering documents through a headless browser like Chrome or Puppeteer. This produces crisp, vector-based typography with precise layout control. Most competitors convert HTML to PDF, which results in blurry text and inconsistent rendering. Typcraft generates typeset-quality documents similar to LaTeX, but through a visual drag-and-drop editor that anyone can use.
Typcraft's answer
Three reasons: output quality, speed, and simplicity. The Typst rendering engine produces noticeably sharper PDFs than HTML-to-PDF tools. The API generates documents in under a second, making it fast enough for real-time use. And the visual editor means you design templates without writing code โ then generate thousands programmatically via the REST API.
Typcraft's answer
We got frustrated with existing document generation tools โ they were either ugly (HTML-to-PDF), complex (LaTeX), or expensive. We built Typcraft to combine the quality of a real typesetting engine with the simplicity of a visual editor and the power of a REST API. Design once in the browser, generate thousands programmatically.
