Carbone

The Most Efficient Universal Future-proof Report Generator·carbone.io

Carbone is a no-code, universal document generation and conversion engine that merges JSON data with templates designed in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, LibreOffice, Google Docs, HTML, or Markdown, producing output in over 100 formats including PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS, CSV, JPG, PNG and EPUB. It is offered as a managed Cloud REST API hosted in Paris, as a self-hosted On-Premise deployment (Docker image or native Linux/macOS/Windows binaries), as a turnkey private cloud on AWS, and as an open-source Node.js library. The engine can also be driven by AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini through an official MCP server and a template-writing 'Carbone Skill', letting them generate real Office and PDF files from natural language.
