I'll chime in and say that the company I work for was ready to pay 1200$ for a piece of software that we hoped would do this reliably. There are cheaper or even free alternatives out there, but they all had different problems. If this site is reliable and flexible, it is answering a real need in the market.

Does it render in webkit?

Just use urlbox.io. We using them and currently doing over 25K screenshot requests a day on urlbox and extremely happy with their service reliability. Have spoken to founder couple of times.. he's integrated us with their PHP API.

Yes it uses webkit, and regarding reliability... It currently runs smoothly despite the hacker news traffic increase ;-)

Sorry, I meant that as in reliably renders whatever you throw at it. This where others would fail, i.e. sections of the page would be not be rendered, or they would execute javascript, but the execution would fail half way through,, it would crash if the site embedded certain resources, that kind of thing.

It runs a full blown browser in the background so it should handle most things you can throw at it.
