Browsershots
Browsershots is an open-source system for distributed automatic production of browser screenshots. View screenshots of web pages in different browsers, at different screen resolutions and with different plugins.
Really slow site but it seems pretty cool. It would be cooler if there were a p2p network of webmasters who could download an application and test their website in a service such as this one.
I just noticed that its an open source DISTRIBUTED project. With 4500+ jobs in the queue I suppose how else would they get the job done. The screenshots are very good quality, showing the whole page in sections and not just the ‘top half’.
Another similar service that had been down for aaages I see is back up, which takes screenshots of your site in a few browser on a mac. Thanks to those who submitted Google, I’ve also wondered what it looks like in Firefox 800x600…
Processing may take a while. Usually the first screenshots will be available two minutes after submitting, and the last will be finished within half an hour. If the job queue is exceptionally full, you may have to wait a few hours or longer. Too bad you cant download the app to your own server for testing.
If anyone really needs this service, use browsercam. You have to pay, but it’s fast which is important if your debugging a website.
If you are a web designer, you should just have each browser you are testing against available locally. They all offer free trials/versions. And as a serious web dev, even buying them should be part of your budget!
