How it works
- 1
Paste your HTML
Drop in a complete HTML document or a fragment. Inline <style> blocks, CSS, and external images, fonts, and stylesheets are all supported — exactly what a real browser would render.
- 2
Choose format and size
Pick PNG for transparency, JPEG for the smallest photo-style files, or WebP for both. Set an explicit width and height to lock the canvas — perfect for fixed sizes like 1200×630 OG images.
- 3
Render and download
We render your markup in a real headless Chromium instance and hand back a pixel-perfect image. Preview it, download it, copy it to the clipboard, or open it in a new tab.
When to use HTML to image
Rendering HTML to an image is the simplest way to turn a layout you already know how to build — markup and CSS — into a shareable, embeddable picture. The most popular use is dynamic Open Graph and social share images: design a 1200×630 card in HTML, swap in a title and author per page, and render a unique preview image for every post without opening a design tool.
It is equally handy for documents and transactional graphics — certificates, invoices, tickets, receipts, and email template previews. Because the output comes from a real browser, you get the exact typography, spacing, and colors your CSS describes, with no surprises from third-party rendering quirks.
Developers also reach for it to snapshot UI components, charts, and code samples for documentation and changelogs. Paste a self-contained snippet, lock the width and height, and you have a clean, reproducible image every time. When you are ready to generate images on the fly, the same rendering engine is available through the API.
Frequently asked questions
What can I use HTML to image for?
Common uses are generating dynamic Open Graph / social share images (1200×630), turning email templates into preview images, producing certificates, invoices, badges, and receipts, rendering charts or code snippets as images, and creating reproducible visual snapshots of UI components for documentation.
Does CSS work, including flexbox and grid?
Yes. Your HTML is rendered by a real, up-to-date headless Chromium browser, so modern CSS — flexbox, grid, gradients, transforms, box-shadow, custom properties, and media queries — renders exactly as it would on screen. Add your styles in an inline <style> tag or link an external stylesheet.
Can I use external images and web fonts?
Yes. External images, CSS files, and web fonts (including Google Fonts loaded via <link>) are fetched while rendering. For the most reliable results, reference assets over HTTPS and give fonts a moment to load by declaring them in CSS. Requests to private or internal networks are blocked for security.
How do I get a transparent background?
Choose the PNG or WebP format and avoid setting an opaque background on the <body> or your outermost element. Anything left transparent in your CSS stays transparent in the exported image. JPEG does not support transparency and will fill with white.
Is there a size limit on the HTML?
The free tool accepts up to 100,000 characters of HTML per request, which is plenty for documents, email templates, and OG-image layouts. If you need larger payloads, higher rate limits, or async rendering, use the ScreenshotAPI HTML-to-image endpoint directly.
Can I automate this with an API?
Yes. This page is a friendly front end for the ScreenshotAPI html-to-image endpoint. Sign up for an API key to POST HTML programmatically, set custom widths/heights, capture full-length output, and integrate dynamic image generation into your app or build pipeline.
