To fetch all articles, including tutorials, use [All articles](https://htmlcsstoimage.com/blog.md).** Technical guides, product updates, and practical examples for automating images, PDFs, and website screenshots with HTML/CSS to Image. The HTML/CSS to Image API (HCTI) creates images, PDFs, and website screenshots from HTML/CSS, live URLs, or reusable templates. It also supports visual template editing, automated Open Graph images, signed image URLs, batch rendering, direct-to-storage output, and an OAuth-connected MCP server for AI agents. Use these articles when you need implementation guidance, design patterns, product context, or examples beyond the API reference. For current request fields and response behavior, prefer the API documentation and OpenAPI specification. ## Tutorials (11) ### [How to Automate Puppeteer with MCP](https://htmlcsstoimage.com/blog/automate-puppeteer-with-mcp.md) Published 2026-10-28 by Jeffrey Needles.
