Description
Add a polished URL-to-PDF converter to any WordPress page in seconds. Visitors paste a URL, click Convert, and download a high-fidelity PDF. The plugin renders a native form on your site and sends the URL directly to the EnConvert API for conversion. No iframe, no extra tracking — just a clean form on your page.
How it works:
- Create a free EnConvert account.
- Generate a public API key (
pk_*) on your EnConvert API keys page. - Add your WordPress site’s domain to the key’s allowed-domains list.
- Paste the key into the plugin settings.
- Drop
[enconvert_url_to_pdf]into any page, post, or shortcode block.

What the API does behind the scenes:
- Renders the target URL in a real headless browser at 1920×1080 viewport
- Auto-dismisses cookie banners (OneTrust, Cookiebot, Didomi, Usercentrics, generic)
- Triggers lazy-loaded images by scrolling the page
- Bypasses Content Security Policy and Trusted Types restrictions that would otherwise block conversion
- Returns a downloadable PDF in seconds
Free tier available — 100 monthly conversions, no credit card.
Third-Party Service
This plugin sends visitor input directly from the visitor’s browser to the EnConvert API:
https://api.enconvert.com— receives the URL and returns a presigned URL for the PDF download.
The visitor’s browser sends an X-API-Key header containing the public API key configured in plugin settings. The API validates the key and the requesting domain (the page’s origin) before accepting the conversion. Your WordPress server is not involved in the conversion request.

FAQ
-
Where do I get a public API key?
-
Sign in at enconvert.com and go to Dashboard API Keys. Create a key of type “Public” (
pk_*). Public keys are designed for browser use and are restricted to the domains you list. -
Why a public key instead of a secret key?
-
Secret keys (
sk_*) cannot be used from a browser — the API rejects them with a 403 error. Public keys (pk_*) are safe to use in front-end code because they are restricted to a list of domains you control. If someone copies your key, it will not work on their site. -
Does this plugin send anything through my WordPress server?
-
No. The visitor’s browser sends the URL directly to
api.enconvert.com. Your WordPress server never sees the URL or the resulting PDF. -
The domain serving the WordPress page is not in the API key’s allowed-domains list. Open your EnConvert dashboard, edit the key, and add your site’s domain. Wildcards like
*.example.comcover all subdomains. -
Does it work in the block editor?
-
Yes. WordPress includes a built-in Shortcode block. Add it and paste
[enconvert_url_to_pdf]. The form renders both inside the editor preview and on the published page. -
What are the conversion limits?
-
The free tier includes 100 conversions per month. Paid tiers raise the limit; see enconvert.com/pricing.
-
Does it work with multisite?
-
Yes, but each site needs to activate the plugin and configure its own API key. The plugin has not been tested as a network-activated plugin.
