Examples

Screenshot of a particular element with JavaScript and Puppeteer

Install Puppeteer

npm install puppeteer

Installing the puppeteer package also downloads a compatible Chrome for Testing build, so there is nothing else to set up. The examples use ES modules — run them with node file.mjs, or set "type": "module" in your package.json.

Take a screenshot of the element and save to file

import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';

const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://www.htmltoimage.com/demo');
const element = await page.$('#example-card');
await element.screenshot({ path: 'element.png' });
await browser.close();

That was 8 lines of code — plus a browser to run in production

Keeping headless browsers fed, patched and scaled is a job in itself. We built Urlbox so the same screenshot is one API call: 

curl "https://api.urlbox.com/v1/YOUR_API_KEY/png?url=https://example.com"
