GemBox.PdfApi is a self-hosted REST API for working with PDF documents. Convert, secure, extract and organize PDF documents from any language, entirely inside your own network — nothing leaves the container.
Evaluate the engine with no license of your own, using the built-in FREE-LIMITED-KEY:
docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 -e GEMBOX_PDFAPI_LICENSE_KEY=FREE-LIMITED-KEY gembox/pdfapi
Then open http://localhost:8080, which redirects to the interactive documentation at /scalar.
FREE-LIMITED-KEY runs every underlying component in its free limited mode. To run without the
limit, set GEMBOX_PDFAPI_LICENSE_KEY to a professional license key instead.
gembox/pdfapi:<version> — an exact build, for example gembox/pdfapi:2026.8.102.gembox/pdfapi:latest — the most recently published build.| Port | Protocol | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 8080 | HTTP | Listens by default. Disable by setting GEMBOX_PDFAPI_HTTP_PORT to 0. |
| 8443 | HTTPS | Only listens once a certificate is mounted and GEMBOX_PDFAPI_HTTPS_CERTIFICATE is set. |
