What does Rdraw do?

Rdraw is an open-source, API-first structured document generator that lets you design reports visually and render them as PDF, DOCX, XLSX, or HTML from a single template. It is positioned as a modern alternative to legacy tools like Crystal Reports, SSRS, and Telerik Reporting. You build layouts using a drag-and-drop canvas with text, tables, charts, images, and shapes, then connect live data from REST APIs, JSON, CSV, Excel, Supabase, Airtable, or PostgreSQL. The whole system is built around a REST API — just send JSON data, and Rdraw returns a pixel-perfect document in your format of choice.

The standout features include a visual report designer with ruler guides, multi-format export from one template, built-in bar/line/pie charts and matrix components with grouping and aggregation, real-time collaboration with live presence indicators, version history with restore, and a comments and review system. Rdraw also offers public sharing via links or live preview embeds, and full page control for sizes like A4 or Letter. An AI-assisted designer helps accelerate layout creation, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) support lets agents and automation pipelines design and generate outputs programmatically.

Rdraw is designed for developers and teams who need to generate consistent, production-ready documents — invoices, receipts, bank statements, transaction emails, or complex reports — without writing HTML or managing PDF libraries. It integrates with any language (Node.js, Python, Go, .NET) and plays well with no-code platforms like n8n, Zapier, Bubble, and Make. If you are tired of wrestling with legacy reporting tools or hand-coding PDFs, Rdraw gives you a visual, API-driven workflow that keeps your codebase clean and your outputs reliable.
