PDF libraries are powerful.
Positioning by hand is not.

Tweaking x/y coordinates in code until it looks right

Running the script 20 times to preview a layout change

No WYSIWYG — you never know how it looks until runtime

Dynamic data + complex layouts = spaghetti code

Layoutly fixes this.
Keep your stack.

Design visually with drag-and-drop — see the real PDF

Export clean code for your library — PDFKit, ReportLab, iText, and more

Dynamic variables wired in automatically — just pass your data object

Paste the code — it works. No edits needed.

Everything you need to ship PDFs fast

From visual design to production-ready code in any language

Visual Drag-and-Drop Editor

Add text, images, shapes, tables. Move and resize with your mouse. Real-time PDF preview.

Multi-language Code Export

Get clean, readable code for PDFKit, jsPDF, ReportLab, iText, QuestPDF, Prawn, and more. Copy it — it works.

AI Layout Generation

Describe what you need — "A4 invoice with line items and a logo" — and get a layout instantly.

Dynamic Variables

Use {{variable}} in your design. The generated code receives a data object and renders everything dynamically.

Live PDF Preview

See the actual PDF as you design it. No back-and-forth between editor and terminal.

Template Library

Start from invoices, reports, certificates, and more. Customise in seconds.

From design to production in 3 steps

1

Design in the editor

Drag and drop elements onto an A4 canvas. Or describe your layout to the AI and let it build the first draft.

2

Preview the real PDF

See exactly how your PDF looks before writing a single line of code. Adjust until it is perfect.

3

Copy the generated code

Click Export. Choose your language and library. Get code that is ready to run. Paste into your app.

What developers say after switching to Layoutly

"I used to spend 2 hours per PDF template. Now I design it in 10 minutes and copy the code. It just works."

"The AI layout generation is insane. I typed "monthly report with a chart section" and got 80% of what I needed."

A
Ana P.
Full-Stack Developer

"Switched from PDFKit to ReportLab and Layoutly just generated clean Python code. Saved me hours of migration work."
