Website Screenshot Generator
Paste HTML (or a full snippet) and render it to a downloadable PNG entirely in your browser. Arbitrary external URLs cannot be captured client-side — here is why, and what does work.

—About Website Screenshot Generator
The Website Screenshot Generator renders HTML you paste into a downloadable PNG entirely in your browser. It is honest about a real limitation: arbitrary external URLs cannot be captured client-side, so it works from markup you provide rather than from a live address.
Capturing your own HTML locally is private and immediate, with no server rendering your page. It suits turning a snippet or component into an image without a screenshot service.
Step by step
- Paste the HTML or snippet you want to render.
- The tool renders it on a canvas in your browser.
- Review the rendered output.
- Download it as a PNG.
What it offers
- Renders pasted HTML to PNG
- Fully client-side capture
- Downloadable image output
- No external server involved
Where it helps
- Turning an HTML email or component into an image
- Capturing a rendered snippet for documentation
- Creating a preview image from your own markup
- Saving a static image of a layout you are testing
Tips for best results
- Provide self-contained HTML with inline or accessible styles for the most faithful render.
- For a live external page, use a browser or dedicated service, since client-side code cannot capture it.
- Check that referenced images are reachable, or embed them, so they appear in the output.
Pitfalls to watch for
- Expecting it to screenshot any live URL; browsers cannot capture arbitrary external pages client-side, so paste the markup instead.
- Referencing external assets that are blocked, which leaves gaps in the render.
- Assuming complex scripted layouts render identically; provide self-contained markup for best results.
