Overview

The maintained successor to pyppeteer-snap uses Playwright-driven Chromium to render JavaScript-heavy pages. It keeps the same function names, arguments and return types, with a Python API and command-line interface for PNG and PDF snapshots.

Features

  • PNG and PDF snapshots returned as base64
  • Playwright-driven headless Chromium
  • Python functions and a command-line interface
  • Matching pyppeteer-snap arguments and return types

    Blur-Generator

    Makes perfectly good images worse on purpose: motion, lens, Gaussian and depth-aware blur, for training models that have to cope with bad photos.

    HEIC2PNG

    Turns iPhone HEIC photos into PNG from the CLI, a shell pipe or Python. A small tool for a small, recurring annoyance.

    batch-crop-images

    Draw a crop box once and it is applied to a whole folder of similar images. Written because I refused to crop them one by one, and apparently other people refused too.
