HTML to Image APIs
These screenshot APIs accept raw HTML as well as a URL, so generated markup can be rendered without hosting the page first. ScreenshotAPI outputs PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF with a dark-mode option, ScreenshotOne adds webhooks, and Shotanvil blocks ads and cookie banners by default. Renderwolf can also produce PDFs, QR codes and short video clips from the same input.
