Convert a webpage to an image

The package can convert a webpage to an image. To accomplish this conversion Phantomjs (included in the project) is used.

This package is used to generate the sitepreviews on the homepage of spatie.be. It is also used by Gordon Murray to add previews to shared content.

Spatie is a webdesign agency in Antwerp, Belgium. You'll find an overview of all our open source projects on our website.
