If you just need simple and quick solution, I recommend cutycapt. But if you need a stable, high performance system which can handle 1M request per day. Cutycapt will be a nightmare. I encounter a lot of problems when I try to use Cutycapt to handle 1M different websites. But after changed the source code of cutycapt, it still work perfect. I recommend to resize image inside of cutycapt. It will save around 1 seconds per request. BTW, page2images.com (multiple device screenshot) is built base on cutycapt. If you have any interesting, please take a look.

In reply to Dom. its not a good idea to depend on a 3rd party api or remote solution when there are already so many easy to use tools that can be installed on local machine.

You could use the GrabzIt API to do this, they allow you to use five different languages including Perl, Python, PHP and more.

Check it out http://grabz.it

Hey, nice tutorial. I tried wkhtmltoimage and just wanted to share something. The command gives some weird errors/warnings like these –

$ ./wkhtmltoimage-amd64 http://google.com google.png
Loading page (1/2)
Rendering (2/2)
QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used ] 25%
QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used
Done

Although the screenshot *does get* generated. So, no worries i guess :D
