Puppeteer-batch-screenshots

Make screenshots of your websites in batch.

Let's say you have to make 100 web page screenshots in a row daily. The most of CLI-enabled screenshot tools allow you to make one single screenshot at a time, which means every time the new Node + Chrome instance gets initialised. This tool saves a good amount of time by batching these tasks.

---

Tool based on puppeteer.

Installation and Usage:

npm i -g puppeteer-batch-screenshots
puppeteer-batch-screenshots config.json

alternatively you can install it as a local dependency

mkdir my-perfect-screenshoot-tool && cd my-perfect-screenshoot-tool
npm init -y
npm i puppeteer-batch-screenshots
node ./node_modules/puppeteer-batch-screenshots/index.js config.json

Example config:

[
  // You can put multiple tasks here, each carrying custom settings
  {
    // Viewport width, defaults to 1280
    width: 1440,
    // Viewport height, defaults to 800
    height: 900,
    // Whether it shoud make screenshot of the whole page content

    element: '#main',
