What Hacker News says
5 sourcesWhile not quite as small as 3kb, I recently found this incredible library called html-to-image that's only 300kb. It clones whatever subtree of your document you want to a <foreignObject> inside an svg which then allows it to output canvas, png, svg, pdf, blob, jpeg, etc. Even more impressively is that it handles custom fonts, pseudo-elements, computed styles and more.

It's probably the most impressive and seamless experience I've had with converting HTML to pdfs/images so I just wanted to sing its praises here
