Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a way/tool to generate a thumbnail of a website on the server.

I know there are hundreds of tools that let you capture screenshots manually, but because I have to thumbnail a few hundred website, I'd need a solution that works directly on the server. Ideally I would just type in a URL and it would come up with the screenshot or even save it on the server...

I've searched a few forums and there a few people came up with the idea of installing a browser on a server and using some kind of perl code to capture the screenshot.

Unfortunately we don't have our own server yet and would rely on a software/script that can be installed on a "standard" webspace.

Does anyone have any good ideas how to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot,

Kai

So far, I have developed a tool that snapshots a website, and outputs it to the browser window. You can automate this by using an array of your website urls and send it to the script.

Check the script at http://www.artviper.ch/tools.php or try this one with your favourite URL
