Vue2Img
An easy way to convert HTML sections and charts to JPG, PNG or PDF files for download or base64 encoding.
This JS package aims to truthfully and easily convert anything that is rendered in the browser to a raster image for download or base64 encoding somewhere else in your app. It works excellent with chart libraries like HighCharts and other SVG rendered graphics.
Vue2Img wraps html2canvas and jsPDF packages with logic to make common tasks easier so you can focus on your app. Initially conceived to be a VueJS directive, it's made available as a generic JS package that should integrate with any web page.
Feedback is welcome!
