Frequently asked questions

What is an HTML-to-PNG API?

An HTML-to-PNG API renders HTML content into PNG images with a single API call. With Nutrient’s DWS Processor API, you can capture webpages, templates, or generated markup as images without running your own headless browser.

How do I convert HTML to a PNG programmatically?

Send your HTML markup or a hosted page URL to the Nutrient DWS Processor API, and it returns a PNG image. You can call it via REST, Postman, curl, JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, or PHP.

Can I capture a full webpage as a PNG screenshot?

Yes. You can render an entire page or a specific HTML fragment to a PNG, which is useful for previews, thumbnails, social cards, and automated visual snapshots.

Which programming languages does the API support?

You can call the API from any language that can make HTTP requests. We provide quick start examples for JavaScript, Python, Java, C# (.NET), and PHP, plus REST and a Postman collection.

Is there a free HTML-to-PNG API?

Yes. You can start for free — sign up to receive processing credits and try the HTML-to-PNG API before choosing a Processor API plan.
