I'm trying to generate images (jpg or png) from HTML and I've already tried PhantomJS (via jonnyw/php-phantomjs in php) and wkhtmltoimage but they both have the same problem when generating the image. Any border radius, images, or fonts all have really bad jagged edges and aren't crisp at all.
At first I thought it was no fonts being loaded but my font-icons work fine, they're just really poor quality. I have 100 quality set and I get the same results when using Phantomjs or wkhtmltoimage on any website.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
UPDATE
UPDATE 2
Here's the code used from jonnyw/php-phantomjs:
$client = Client::getInstance();
$client->isLazy();
$client->getEngine()->setPath('phantomjs');
$client->getEngine()->debug(true);
$width = 560;
$height = 670;
$top = 1;
$left = 1;
$request = $client->getMessageFactory()->createCaptureRequest('https://myurltoscreengrab.com', 'GET');
$request->setOutputFile('uploads/stats/test.png');
$request->setFormat('png');
$request->setViewportSize($width, $height);
$request->setCaptureDimensions($width, $height, $top, $left);
$response = $client->getMessageFactory()->createResponse();
// Send the request
$client->send($request, $response);
