Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between capturing the full page and a specific area?
Capturing the full page ensures you get the entire content of the webpage, including all scrollable areas. A specific area allows you to target a particular section of the page, giving you more control over the output.

2. Can Selenium Screenshot Gradio handle dynamically generated content?
Yes, Selenium Screenshot Gradio can handle dynamically generated content because it uses Selenium under the hood. This allows it to wait for JavaScript to load and elements to render before capturing the screenshot.

3. Are there any limitations to using Selenium Screenshot Gradio?
Yes, certain limitations include potential issues with complex or heavily scripted websites, which may require additional delays or configuration. Additionally, local environment setup is required for Selenium to run properly.
