HTML to Image Conversion

The process of rendering HTML/CSS code as a static image file.

HTML to Image conversion is the process of rendering HTML and CSS markup as a static image file (PNG, JPG, WebP, etc.). This is typically done using headless browsers like Chromium that can render web pages and capture screenshots. The technique is essential for generating dynamic images like social cards, certificates, receipts, and other visual content from templates.
