Pyqt5 Render With Qwebengineview

I want render the webpage to an image offscreen, however when I use following code, the output image is blank, I can't solve the problem class PageShotter(QWidget): def __init_

Solution 1:

You must enable the ScreenCaptureEnabled attribute, for this you must first enable the PluginsEnabled attribute. In addition, the content is rendered after using show, but as you do not want to show the widget, we enable the WA_DontShowOnScreen attribute.

import os
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets, QtWebEngineWidgets

class PageShotter(QtWebEngineWidgets.QWebEngineView):
    def __init__(self, url, parent=None):
        super(PageShotter, self).__init__(parent)
        self.loadFinished.connect(self.save)
        self.url = url
        self.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.WA_DontShowOnScreen, True)
        self.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.WA_DeleteOnClose, True)
        self.show()
        settings = QtWebEngineWidgets.QWebEngineSettings.globalSettings()
        for attr in (QtWebEngineWidgets.QWebEngineSettings.PluginsEnabled, 
                     QtWebEngineWidgets.QWebEngineSettings.ScreenCaptureEnabled,):
            settings.setAttribute(attr, True)

    def shot(self):
        if self.size().isNull():
            self.resize(640, 480)
        self.load(QtCore.QUrl.fromLocalFile(self.url))

    @QtCore.pyqtSlot(bool)
    def save(self, finished):
        if finished:
            size = self.contentsRect()
            print(u"width：%d，hight：%d" % (size.width(), size.height()))
            img = QtGui.QImage(size.width(), size.height(), QtGui.QImage.Format_ARGB32)
            painter = QtGui.QPainter(img)
            self.render(painter)
            painter.end()
            filename = 'page.png'
            if img.save(filename):
                filepath = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), filename)
                print(u"success：%s" % filepath)
            else:
                print(u"fail")
        else:
            print("Error")
        self.close()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys

    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    shotter = PageShotter(r'C:\Output.html')
    shotter.shot()
    app.exec()
