Screen Capture

Methods for capturing screenshots of the screen or browser, and for converting screenshots to Base64, Bitmap, or saving to file.

Methods for capturing screenshots of the screen or browser, and for converting screenshots to Base64, Bitmap, or saving to file.

CaptureScreen takes a screenshot of the current screen or visible browser tab. Pass a browser or application object to capture a specific window, or call with no arguments to capture the full desktop. SaveToFile saves the captured screenshot to the specified GPALFile path - overwrites if the file exists. ToBase64String converts the last captured screenshot to a Base64 JPEG string. ToBitmap returns the screenshot as a System.Drawing.Bitmap. ToGPALObject returns the IImageHelper interface.

Examples

GPAL Fluent: High-level fluent C# API

//CaptureScreen works in both headful (visible window) and headless modes. In headless mode with a browser reference, it captures the browser tab content. ToBase64String produces a JPEG-encoded Base64 string.

// Capture the full desktop GPAL.Image .CaptureScreen() .SaveToFile("C:\screenshots\desktop.png"); // Capture a specific browser tab GPAL.Image .CaptureScreen(myBrowser) .SaveToFile("C:\screenshots\browser.png"); // Capture and convert to Base64 for embedding string base64; GPAL.Image .CaptureScreen() .ToBase64String(out base64);
