Rendex for n8n

Drop the official Rendex node into any n8n workflow to turn HTML, a URL, or Markdown into an image or PDF — output lands as binary data the next node can upload, email, or post. Start free with 100 renders a month, no card.

n8n is great at moving data between apps but has no way to render a finished image or PDF. The official Rendex node fills that gap: authenticate once, pick a render mode, and pipe the binary result straight into Drive, Slack, Gmail, or an HTTP call — without running a headless browser inside your n8n instance.

How It Fits Your Workflow

Trigger

A Webhook or Schedule node kicks off the workflow.

Rendex node

Render HTML, a URL, or Markdown to an image or PDF on the edge.

Downstream

Pipe the binary output into Drive, Slack, Gmail, or an HTTP node.

A real Rendex workflow, previewed right here — schedule a run, screenshot a page, drop it in Drive.

What You Can Do

Verified community node

Rendex is a Verified Community Node on n8n Cloud — search "Rendex" in the nodes panel and add it with one click, no manual install. On self-hosted n8n, install n8n-nodes-rendex from Settings. Add your API key once; the credential test calls /v1/credential-check, so n8n confirms the key is valid before you spend a single render.

HTML, URL, and Markdown modes

Choose the render mode per node: HTML to image, a live URL to a screenshot, or Markdown to a polished PDF. Output as PNG, JPEG, WebP, or PDF — all on every plan, including Free.

Render Link — hosted og:image URLs

The Render Link operation mints a signed, edge-cached image or PDF URL from HTML, a URL, or Markdown — instead of binary, you get a durable link to drop straight into an og:image meta tag or <img> embed. The asset renders once on the first hit, then serves a cached copy; set a custom Link Expiry or take the 30-day default.

Data templating with expressions

Pass n8n expressions straight into the node. Drive HTML or Markdown with {{ $json }} values, or send a data object so Rendex fills Mustache placeholders server-side — one template, many rendered files.

Batch and loop friendly

Render a single item or feed an array through the Loop Over Items node. The batch endpoint is a Starter-plan feature — 25 URLs per call on Starter, 100 on Pro, and 500 on Enterprise — so a list of pages becomes a folder of images (on Free, loop single renders).

Async jobs with webhook callbacks

For long full-page renders, run async: the node returns a job id immediately, then Rendex POSTs a signed webhook to your n8n Webhook node when the file is ready — no blocking, no timeouts.

Schedule page-change watches

Create and manage Rendex Watches from the node: point a watch at a URL for a real-Chrome before/after visual diff on a schedule, then route the signed watch.changed webhook back into n8n for a Slack, database, or issue alert. Free includes 1 watch on a daily check; webhook delivery is Starter+.

Dry-run a watch before you commit

The Test operation on the Watch resource previews exactly what a watch would capture — without creating one. It confirms the page is reachable and does a single throwaway render, with no baseline, diff, alerts, or schedule. Validate the URL, diff mode, selectors, and render knobs, inspect the one-off capture, then create the real watch with confidence.

Edge rendering, zero infrastructure

Rendering runs on Rendex's edge, so there is no Chromium or Puppeteer to install, patch, or scale inside your n8n host. Self-hosted or n8n Cloud, the node behaves the same.

Built for other tools, but the same Rendex API powers them — adapt the trigger and the render step works the same.

Render HTML to a PNG in Make (Correct HTTP Module Setup)

Make

A pre-wired Make HTTP module that renders HTML to a PNG with Rendex on the first try. Copy the exact request body so you never hit the 400 'send exactly one of url, html, or markdown' error.

Left: an Airtable grid row with title, subtitle, and author columns. Right: the same row rendered as a 1200x630 branded OG card on an orange-to-dark gradient, with the hosted URL written back into the row's ogImageUrl field.

Auto-Generate OG Images from Airtable Rows (Make & Zapier)

MakeZapier

Turn every Airtable row into a branded Open Graph image. A Make HTTP module or Zapier action calls Rendex's hosted render link, then writes the og: URL straight back to the row.

Render an HTML Financial Report or Invoice to PNG in Python

Python SDK

Turn an HTML financial report, invoice, certificate, or data table into a crisp PNG from a server-side Python script — one render_html() call, no headless Chrome to host. Embed the image in a generated PDF or report deliverable.

Left: the Markdown an AI agent wrote — a Q2 status report heading and a small metrics table — alongside a compact render_artifact tool call with a branding theme (accent color, formats). Right: the same content rendered by Rendex as a branded document, with an orange accent bar, a PDF + PNG chip, and a hosted share-link line.

Let an AI Agent Render a Branded PDF from Markdown (Rendex MCP)
