IronPdf.Examples

Runnable C# examples for IronPDF, a .NET PDF library that converts HTML to PDF and generates, edits, and extracts PDF content.

Install

dotnet add package IronPdf

Quickstart

using IronPdf;

var renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();
var pdf = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf("<h1>Hello, PDF!</h1>");
pdf.SaveAs("hello.pdf");

That produces a working PDF on the first run. To render from other sources, swap RenderHtmlAsPdf for RenderUrlAsPdf(url), RenderHtmlFileAsPdf(path), or use ImageToPdfConverter.ImageToPdf(image).

For production use, set a license key via License.LicenseKey = "YOUR-KEY". Without one, generated PDFs include a watermark.
