ScreenItShot ↗

Turn any document into a pixel-perfect screenshot.

screenitshot uses Playwright and Chromium to render documents through battle-tested JavaScript libraries—PDF.js for PDFs, docx-preview for Word files, ExcelJS for spreadsheets. The result? Consistent, high-quality screenshots that look identical every time.

Why Browser-Based Rendering?

Native libraries give inconsistent results. The JavaScript ecosystem has mature, well-maintained libraries for every format. By rendering in Chromium, you get the same quality as viewing in a browser—because that’s exactly what’s happening.

All dependencies are pinned. Chromium version, JS libraries, everything. Run it today or a year from now, get the same output.
