About:
webkit2png is a command-line utility that captures high-resolution screenshots of webpages using the WebKit rendering engine. It allows developers to automate visual testing, generate previews, and archive web content directly from the terminal. The tool supports custom viewport sizes, timeouts, and can render complex JavaScript-heavy sites.

Key Features:

Headless browser rendering via WebKit
Command-line interface for easy automation
Customizable viewport dimensions and timeouts
Support for capturing full-page or viewport-only screenshots

Use Cases:

Automated visual regression testing for web applications
Generating thumbnail previews for web content management systems
Archiving webpages for documentation or compliance purposes

Alternatives:

Puppeteer – More modern and actively maintained, supports Chromium/Chrome with extensive API
Cutycapt – Qt-based alternative, similar CLI approach but different rendering engine
