requinix Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 How are you supposed to get a screenshot when you can't even put the site on the screen?

kicken Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 There are some projects out there that will render a website to an image. Do a little googling and you can find them. Once you have one installed just have PHP exec the program with the proper parameters to capture the URL you want.

trq Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 This can be done quite easily using the proper libraries. We use phatom.js at work to take screen captures for various reasons. It's an awesome library. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/278132-take-screenshot-of-a-site-without-opening-browser/#findComment-1430969 Share on other sites More sharing options...
junejune Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Maybe you can try http://locasnap.com but I am not sure if they have any free APIs or scripts for this. They allows snapshot from different locations as well.
