Question 1

How do I capture screenshots for multiple resolutions with pageres-cli?

Accepted Answer

Specify multiple URLs and resolutions in one command; for example, 'pageres https://example.com 1024x768 1366x768' captures two screenshots. Grouping with square brackets allows custom combinations per URL, as shown in the README examples.

Question 2

Can pageres-cli screenshot local HTML files?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it supports local file paths; just provide the file path instead of a URL, like 'pageres unicorn.html 1366x768'. This is useful for testing during development without deploying.

Question 3

How to hide an element in pageres-cli screenshots?

Accepted Answer

Use the --hide option with a CSS selector; for instance, 'pageres https://example.com 1366x768 --hide='.ad-banner''. This removes specified elements from the captured image, as documented in the options.

Question 4

Pageres-cli vs capture-website-cli: which is better for screenshots?

Accepted Answer

Pageres-cli is focused on multi-resolution batch capture with grouping options for responsiveness testing, while capture-website-cli, by the same author, offers a different take with potentially other features. Choose based on whether you need batch resolution testing or more general screenshot capabilities.

Question 5

How to simulate dark mode with pageres-cli?

Accepted Answer

Use the --darkMode flag; for example, 'pageres https://example.com 1366x768 --darkMode'. This emulates a preference for dark color schemes in the screenshot, as mentioned in the browser emulation options.

Question 6

Does pageres-cli support custom CSS for modifying pages before capture?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with the --css option, you can apply custom CSS either inline or from a file; e.g., 'pageres https://sindresorhus.com --css='body { background: red; }'' to change styles before capturing, as detailed in the options section.
