Port of [littlepdf](https://github.com/usaikoo/littlepdf) from TypeScript to PHP.

🎯 Philosophy
------------

[](#-philosophy)

**Ultra-lightweight by design.** We stripped away everything non-essential: TTF fonts, PNG/SVG support, HTML-to-PDF conversion, forms, encryption, and compression. What remains is the core 95% use case: **putting text and images on a page.**

Perfect for building: invoices, receipts, reports, shipping labels, tickets, certificates, contracts, and data exports.
