Display Live ScreenGrabs..

Want to display a screenshot of a website? The process is complicated you acquire the image by using a browser engine this would use its screen capture code to deliver a image. The process of delivering a screen capture of a url can be done with html2image this uses php however this install requires server resources library installs that may not be available on a shared hosting solutions.

There are several other methods out there one using .NET seems straight forward if your familiar with NET. Screen capture without using any Win32 API calls, just .NET (2.0) classes

These are all valid methods but all are time consuming and require you have significant server resources. The best way and the most simplistic in my opinion is thumshots.org. I had some fun acquiring screenshots before I stumbled on this smart shortcut. All I required was a simple small recent screenshot of urls being bookmarked by users I did use html2image but this requires library files and needs installing with a MYSQL server and the works.

Easy ScreenShot Solution..

Thumshots effectively runs something like html2image or very similar on its server they allow public access.And if you are using their service pay a small visit to their domain.

Use the following code as your image source replace u501.com with your requested domain screenGrab.

You can include any url you want meaning you can deliver screengrabs without the expense in time and effort needed in the past You can make the image any size you want and the screen shot is always a recent one.

Just add to the image source
