Welcome to khtml2pngkhtml as basis for rendering websites is a bit outdated nowadays. If you want to create screenshots of websites you should have a look at python-webkit2png and the guide "Making web pages screenshots with webkit2png (flash included)". khtml2png is a command line program to create screenshots of webpages. It uses libkhtml (the library that is used in the KDE webbrowser Konqueror). In khtml2png 2.0.5 to 2.5.0 "convert" from the ImageMagick graphic conversion toolkit is used to create the output files in various image file formats. 2.6.0 and future development will use the built-in conversion of the Qt library. Cautionkhtml2png relies on a working and stable KDE 3.5.X base. Some distributions don't have these basis and let khtml2png crash, hang and produce other problems. Please install Debian 5 Lenny, if you notice this behaviour.FeaturesThere are two branches of khtml2png: An old 1.0.x branch containing the original code from Simon MacMullen (the former developer and maintainer of khtml2png) and a new 2.x done by the new maintainer Hauke Goos-Habermann. The branches have different features whereas 1.0.x is outdated and will not run correctly on newer KDE versions (newer than 3.2 if I remember correctly). The 2.6.0 release was improved very much by Florent Bruneau.Take this table as a short feature overview:
