[](https://www.r-pkg.org/pkg/webshot2)
[](https://community.rstudio.com/new-topic?category=shiny&tags=webshot2)**webshot2** is meant to be a replacement for [webshot](https://wch.github.io/webshot/), except that instead of using PhantomJS, it uses headless Chrome via the [Chromote](https://github.com/rstudio/chromote) package.
## Installation
```R
# CRAN
install.packages("webshot2")# Development
remotes::install_github("rstudio/webshot2")
```You also need to have the Chrome browser installed on your system. You can also use other browsers based on Chromium, such as Chromium itself, Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, or Opera.
## Usage
``` r
library(webshot2)# Single page
webshot("https://www.r-project.org")
```
``` r
# Multiple pages (in parallel!)
webshot(c("https://www.r-project.org", "https://www.rstudio.com"))
```
``` r
# Specific height and width
webshot("https://www.r-project.org", vwidth = 1600, vheight = 900, cliprect = "viewport")
```
```{r demo-eval, eval = FALSE, echo = FALSE}
# Run this code to update the images above
library(webshot2)# Single page
webshot("https://www.r-project.org", "man/figures/README-demo-1.png")
# Multiple pages (in parallel!)
webshot(c("https://www.r-project.org", "https://www.rstudio.com"), c("man/figures/README-demo-2.png", "man/figures/README-demo-3.png"))
# Specific height and width
webshot("https://www.r-project.org", "man/figures/README-demo-4.png", vwidth = 1600, vheight = 900, cliprect = "viewport")
```
