# Convert a webpage to an image or pdf using headless Chrome

The package can convert a webpage to an image or pdf. The conversion is done behind the scenes by [Puppeteer](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer) which controls a headless version of Google Chrome.
Here's a quick example:
```php
use Spatie\Browsershot\Browsershot;
// an image will be saved
Browsershot::url('https://example.com')->save($pathToImage);
```
It will save a pdf if the path passed to the `save` method has a `pdf` extension.
```php
// a pdf will be saved
Browsershot::url('https://example.com')->save('example.pdf');
```
You can also use an arbitrary html input, simply replace the `url` method with `html`:
```php
Browsershot::html('<h1>Hello world!!</h1>')->save('example.pdf');
```
If your HTML input is already in a file locally use the :
```php
Browsershot::htmlFromFilePath('/local/path/to/file.html')->save('example.pdf');
```
Browsershot also can get the body of an html page after JavaScript has been executed:
```php
Browsershot::url('https://example.com')->bodyHtml(); // returns the html of the body
```
If you wish to retrieve an array list with all of the requests that the page triggered you can do so:
```php
$requests = Browsershot::url('https://example.com')
->triggeredRequests();
foreach ($requests as $request) {
$url = $request['url']; //https://example.com/
}
```
To use Chrome's new [headless mode](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/headless-chrome) pass the `newHeadless` method:
```php
Browsershot::url('https://example.com')->newHeadless()->save($pathToImage);
```

## Documentation
All documentation is available [on our documentation site](https://spatie.be/docs/browsershot).
## Testing
For running the testsuite, you'll need to have Puppeteer installed. Pleaser refer to the Browsershot requirements [here](https://spatie.be/docs/browsershot/v4/requirements). Usually `npm -g i puppeteer` will do the trick.
Additionally, you'll need the `pdftotext` CLI which is part of the poppler-utils package. More info can be found in in the [spatie/pdf-to-text readme](https://github.com/spatie/pdf-to-text?tab=readme-ov-file#requirements). Usually `brew install poppler-utils` will suffice.
Finally run the tests with:
```bash
composer test
```

## Security
If you've found a bug regarding security please mail [

## Alternatives
If you're not able to install Node and Puppeteer, take a look at [v2 of browsershot](https://github.com/spatie/browsershot/tree/2.4.1), which uses Chrome headless CLI to take a screenshot. `v2` is not maintained anymore, but should work pretty well.
If using headless Chrome does not work for you take a look at at `v1` of this package which uses the abandoned `PhantomJS` binary.
