    See webkit2png for an OSX commandline program that does this.

    The page also mentions Linux alternatives.

    [edit]: wkhtml2image is the newest kid in town, and it works better then anything else i’ve ever used.

    [edit2]: As of 2014, PhantomJS seems to be the way to go, as it has the newest webkit version of the alternatives I know about.

    [edit3]: In 2019, Puppeteer is the way to go. Official headless chrome, always up to date.
