## What it is
A JavaScript library that converts arbitrary DOM nodes into vector (SVG) or raster (PNG/JPEG) images using HTML5 canvas and SVG serialization. It supports web fonts, images, node filtering, and raw pixel data extraction.

## Use cases
- render a DOM element to a PNG image in the browser
- export an HTML chart or widget as a downloadable JPEG
- convert a DOM node to an SVG data URL
- capture a screenshot of a page section client-side
- get raw RGBA pixel data from rendered HTML

## When to choose
- you need client-side rendering of HTML to images without a headless browser
- you want to export charts, cards, or UI components as PNG/JPEG/SVG
- you need pixel data from rendered DOM content

## When to avoid
- you need pixel-perfect full-page screenshots with full CSS support (use Puppeteer or Playwright)
- you need server-side rendering of HTML to images
- the project appears largely unmaintained; consider actively maintained forks like html-to-image

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: image-processing, graphics
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: dom, canvas, svg, screenshot, png, jpeg, html-to-image, nodejs
