Generate snapshots at scale, painlessly

Capturing image screenshots or PDF reports in a web app can be frustrating. We've been there.

Let us handle the heavy-lifting.

Stay in the loop

Built for Laravel

Creating beautiful, pixel-perfect snapshots from your Laravel app simply couldn't be easier. We'll even store the snapshots in the cloud as long as you like.

Install Composer package

composer install stechstudio/snapthis

Configure your API key

SNAPTHIS_API_KEY=[your api key]

Start taking snapshots

SnapThis::pdf('https://laravel.com');

Seriously powerful

Let's take a look at just a few of the ways you can use SnapThis.

Simple screenshot

Take a simple screenshot of a public URL, return the PNG image directly to the user.

class Controller {
public function screenshot()
{
return SnapThis::windowSize(1900, 1080)
->snapshot('https://laravel.com');
}
}

// In your controller method

return SnapThis::windowSize(1900, 1080)
->snapshot('https://laravel.com');

PDF report download

Generate a named PDF from a blade template, force it to download.

class Controller {
public function report()
{
return SnapThis::name('Summary Report.pdf')
->view('reports.users.summary')
->pdf()->download();
}
}

// In your controller method

return SnapThis::name('Summary Report.pdf')
->view('reports.users.summary')
->pdf()->download();

Email attachment

Include the PDF data as an email message attachment.

class OrderConfirmation extends Mailable {
public function build()
{
$pdf = SnapThis::route('order-receipt')->pdf();

return $this->from('example@example.com')
->view('emails.orders.confirmation')
->attachData($pdf->contents, "Receipt.pdf", [
'mime' => 'application/pdf'
]);
}
}

// In your mailable
return $this->from('example@example.com')
->view('emails.orders.confirmation')
->attachData($pdf->contents,
"Receipt.pdf",
['mime' => 'application/pdf']
);

... and so much more.

You get tremendous control over the snapshot process and result.
