Today I read that two bloggers has been recommending Webshots , a freeware application to take full length website screenshot in Microsoft Windows and is unavailable to users of other operating system such as GNU/Linux, *BSD and Solaris.
khtml2png is a free software application which can also take full length website screenshot like Webshots does, except it works on unix like platform such as GNU/Linux and flavors of BSD.
The software depends on libkhtml (from kdelibs KDE project) to render website and ‘convert’ from ImageMagick to create the actual screenshot.
Originally the software can only output screenshot in lossless PNG format, but the latest version however is able to support as many output format as ImageMagick support including jpg, gif, png and bmp to suit your needs.
Please refer to khtml2png website for sample website screenshot produced by khtml2png.
I am using sitethumbshot.com for sometime to generate thumbnails for my website. It is working fine without any issue. This website thumbshot service is fast and reliable.
I found this site recently, ThumbnailsPro, they mention that they are currently free while in beta but have the highest quality thumbnails on the web! and they are FREE! Any sizes available up to 1000pixels WOW!, thats Thumbnailspro.com
Thanks for the tip.
I wrote up a quick how-to for running khtml2png on a server. Also included is a patch for khtml2png to generate thumbnails.
