Save as Image Plugin by PDFCrowd
The «Save as Image» plugin is the WordPress-native way to add screenshot buttons to posts, pages, and selected content. Visitors can capture a WordPress page or post as an image in one click, and you can configure button placement and PDFCrowd conversion settings in the WordPress admin area.
The plugin can be tested in demo mode. Production output without the PDFCrowd watermark and branding requires a PDFCrowd license.
Features
- WordPress-native screenshot button: Add a Save as Image button to posts, pages, and selected content.
- Automatic or manual placement: Show the button automatically, place it with a shortcode, or add it from PHP.
- Selected-content capture: Capture the full page or only the content enclosed by the block shortcode.
- Customizable button appearance: Configure button text, icon, layout, style, and placement.
- PDFCrowd conversion settings: Control screenshot width, output format, and other conversion options from WordPress admin.
- Cloud image generation: Generate screenshots through PDFCrowd without installing a server-side image rendering library on your WordPress host.
Usage
Once activated, the «Save as Image» button will automatically appear on eligible content according to your settings. Users can click the button to save a screenshot of the current page as an image file, such as PNG or JPEG.
To manually add the «Save as Image» button to specific pages or posts, use the following shortcode:
[save_as_image_pdfcrowd]
For additional methods of adding the button to your pages, please refer to the Getting Started Guide.
Customization
The plugin offers various customization options accessible through the WordPress admin area. You can change the screenshot generation settings and button appearance. For more detailed customization, please refer to the plugin option reference.
Licensing
By default, the plugin operates in demo mode. Demo mode is fully functional, but adds a watermark and PDFCrowd branding to the generated image.
To remove the demo watermark and PDFCrowd branding, purchase a PDFCrowd license. Activate the license by entering your PDFCrowd username and key in the plugin settings under the License tab.
A PDFCrowd license can be used across multiple WordPress websites for our plugins. It also grants direct access to the PDFCrowd API for custom application integrations.
Basic Troubleshooting
If the default plugin output does not meet your requirements, consider adjusting the following settings individually. You may need to activate the «Expert Settings» option to access some of these features.
- Mode > Conversion Mode: Try switching it to either «Upload» or «Content».
- Image Output > Screenshot Width: Experiment with different widths to see which yields the best result.
