We (MemeZoo.app) developed a meme creation site with social media sharing of meme images. We needed a way to share meme images which had text caption overlays, likes and avatars.
We first tried to draw this onto a canvas object and exporting this to PNG. This was difficult.
We then tried a few libraries and decided on html2canvas. This worked well but was not consistent with the actual HTML rendering, especially with text and image sizes, position. It was also dependent on the users device.
We soon realized we needed consistent image captures. We decided to try an automated server approach.
Three days later we had a microservice that captured screenshots of the meme component when the user clicked share.
We tested this approach on graphs, social media content, data tables, complex UI and the results were consistent screenshots.
