What truly sets Snapdom apart is its speed — it is hands down the fastest DOM capture tool available.

While other tools like html2canvas, html-to-image, and modern-screenshot may take noticeably longer or face challenges with complex DOMs, Snapdom captures almost instantly, even with deep and dynamic structures. This unmatched speed makes it the go-to solution for real-time apps, visual editors, and any workflow where performance is critical.

Our benchmarks prove it out: Snapdom surpasses these alternatives by a wide margin, delivering high-fidelity results without compromising speed.

The secret behind this performance lies mainly in Snapdom’s advanced caching system combined with its intelligent CSS class assembly. By efficiently reusing cached styles and building compact CSS increments, Snapdom drastically reduces final bundle size and speeds up style processing, resulting in lightning-fast captures even in the most demanding scenarios.
