The package can convert a webpage to an image. To accomplish this conversion [Phantomjs](http://phantomjs.org/) (included in the project) is used.

This package is used to generate the sitepreviews on the homepage of [spatie.be](https://spatie.be). It is also used by [Gordon Murray](https://twitter.com/murrion) to [add previews to shared content](http://www.murrion.com/2015/02/how-i-automate-sharing-content-to-linkedin-using-ayliens-content-analysis-api-and-browsershot/).
