Come to think of it, CSS isn't its strongest side. No support for filters I think. Maybe worth checking it out anyway.

I looked into it before, and I don't think html2canvas would work. IIRC the only way to get the gradients was using the screen capture API [1], which works, but requires users to click an authorization prompt before use.

Hm. I've used image-screenshot [1] in the past together with html2canvas to get CSS filter support in screenshots. Don't know if it would work in your scenario though.
