pageres-cli

Capture screenshots of websites in various resolutions. A good way to make sure your websites are responsive. It's speedy and generates 100 screenshots from 10 different websites in just over a minute. It can also be used to render SVG images.

See pageres for the programmatic API and issues tracker.

Install

npm install --global pageres-cli

Note to Linux users: If you get a "No usable sandbox!" error, you need to enable system sandboxing.

Usage

Specify urls and screen resolutions as arguments. Order doesn't matter.

If no resolution is specified it will default to 1366x768 which is the most popular resolution.

pageres <url> <resolution>
pageres <resolution> <url>

# <url> can also be a local file path.
pageres <file> <resolution>

List multiple urls and resolutions for pageres to capture all combinations.

pageres <url> <resolution> ...

pageres https://sindresorhus.com 1024x768 1366x768 # 2 screenshots
pageres https://sindresorhus.com https://example.com 1024x768 # 2 screenshots
pageres https://sindresorhus.com https://example.com 1024x768 1366x768 # 4 screenshots

Group arguments with square brackets.

pageres [ <url> <resolution> ] [ <url> <resolution> ]
pageres [ <url> <resolution> ... ]

# Mix grouped and single arguments
pageres [ https://example.com 1024x768 1600x900 ] https://sindresorhus.com 1366x768

# Options defined inside a group will override the outer ones.
pageres [ https://example.com 1024x768 --no-crop ] https://sindresorhus.com 1366x768 --crop

Screenshots are saved in the current directory.
