Looking to say "http://example.com/index.html -o website.png"
Is there an existing program to do this? I'm ok with doing html to png. Is there a program for that?
How can I render a website as an image from the shell?

Original Answer: (2011 -- before question tags added)
Check the answer to this question. It seems the same as yours: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/125951/command-line-program-to-create-website-screenshots-on-linux
If it's on Windows, check also:

- http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/web_site_screenshot.html
Updated Answer:
A few other console / terminal based tools that can convert HTML to images.
- phantomjs.org
- wkhtmltopdf.org (look for wkhtmltoimage)
They are both cross OS, free, and very popular.

While it is no direct solution, the browsershots project is open source and basically provides what is requested here.

Do you want webpage screenshots? – None – 2011-05-07T12:02:25.430
@PENDO yes screenshots. @Mohamed Meligy looking to script something in the shell. – None – 2011-05-07T12:15:06.840
If you want to "script something in the shell" then you need a command-line application to do it, and @Mohamed Meligy's comment still applies. – pavium – 2011-05-07T12:21:28.373
I think you need a html to pdf and image converter.
