Why teams switch from DocuGenerate

No HTML or CSS support

DocuGenerate only works with Word templates. No HTML, no CSS, no JavaScript — you're limited to what Word can do.

No image generation

DocuGenerate only outputs PDFs and Word documents. No PNG, JPEG, or WebP generation from your templates.

Limited design control

Word templates can't match the layout precision of HTML and CSS. Complex designs, charts, and responsive layouts aren't possible.
