Maintained forksnapdom vs html-to-image
The popular dom-to-image fork compared head-to-head with SnapDOM on fidelity, fonts and Shadow DOM.
How to choose
If you're building a brand-new project, start with SnapDOM — it has the most complete CSS fidelity, supports Shadow DOM and pseudo-elements out of the box, and ships a plugin system you can extend without forking.
If you're maintaining an existing codebase that already uses one of the alternatives, the migration paths are short. SnapDOM exposes a familiar toPng / toJpg / toBlob API, so swapping the import + the call is usually all it takes. Each comparison page above includes a 1:1 migration snippet you can copy.
