Website Screenshot (HTML5 Canvas / Services)


Alright all,



Been doing a bit of research and want to know if anyone else has tried this... and what approach would you take.



I'm planning on doing a website which will display a screenshot of a website (maybe based on the url in someones email address).



There's going to be alot of people getting this so, pre-production of the screenshots isn't a solution.



Soooooo... does anyone know of any solutions:



  1. Thumbnail service that builds on demand (no queuing)?

  2. HTML5/Canvas script that will let me do this. I've found one but it won't run cross site.

  3. Any other solution?



It'll be built in PHP.



Thanks



PVS.

  1. I've played about with wkhtmltoimage before, it was pretty good for what I was using it for, but does require you to install onto your server
