Summary
SVG screenshots offer various benefits over normal PNG screenshots, while keeping the good parts:
🖼 Flexible: Freely select the region of the website you want to capture or capture the whole page. 💢 Scalable graphics: Screenshots never get pixelated when zooming in. 📝 Semantic: Text can still be selected and copied to clipboard. 🦻 Accessible: SVG is annotated with ARIA attributes and can be read by screen readers. 🖥 Paste into design tools: SVGs will work in design tools like Illustrator, Figma, Sketch etc. 🔗 Interactive: Links are still clickable. 📦 Self-contained: Inlines external resources like images, fonts, etc. 📸 Static: Styles and layout are recorded at the time of snapshot and will not change. 🗜 Small: Depending on the content, SVGs can be magnitudes smaller than PNGs and compress loslessly. 🛡 Secure: The SVG will not contain any JavaScript.
