!IronPDF Cross Platform Compatibility Support Image
IronPDF for Node.js utilizes a powerful Chrome Engine to render PDFs from HTML strings, files, and web URLs. Since the rendering process can be computationally intensive, it is recommended to delegate this task to the server-side. Frontend frameworks like ReactJs and Angular can communicate with the server to offload the computational work and await the result, which can then be displayed on the frontend side.
Using npm:
``shell`
npm install @ironsoftware/ironpdf
Using yarn:
`shell`
yarn add @ironsoftware/ironpdf
IronPdf required IronPDF Engine binary, which will download automatically on the first run.
Or you can install it as a npm package (Recommended) (Optional)
> _NOTE:_ IronPDF Engine and IronPDF version need to match.

Here is a sample HTML to PDF example to get started:
`typescript
import {PdfDocument} from "@ironsoftware/ironpdf";// HTML to PDF

`typescript
import {PdfDocument} from "@ironsoftware/ironpdf";// URL to PDF
(async () => {
// Render the web URL
const pdf = await PdfDocument.fromUrl("https://www.google.com");
// Export the PDF document
await pdf.saveAs("pdf-from-url.pdf");
})();
`Stamp PDF
`typescript
import {PdfDocument} from "@ironsoftware/ironpdf";// Stamp PDF
(async () => {
// Load existing PDF document
const pdf = await PdfDocument.fromFile("mypdf.pdf");
