What's new

v2 introduces a driver-based architecture, allowing you to choose between different PDF generation backends.

New drivers

• Cloudflare - Generate PDFs using Cloudflare's Browser Rendering API
• DomPdf - Generate PDFs using DomPdf (no external binary required)
• Browsershot - Remains the default driver

New features

• Queued PDF generation via saveQueued()
• PDF metadata support (title, author, subject, keywords, creator, creation date)
• Runtime driver switching with ->driver('dompdf')
• Custom driver support

Breaking changes

• spatie/browsershot must now be explicitly required via Composer
• getBrowsershot() has been removed — use withBrowsershot() instead
• Config file structure has changed (new driver key)
• Laravel 10 support has been dropped

See the full upgrade guide for migration steps.
