Marker.io's widget is designed to offer users an effortless experience in capturing website feedback through screenshots. Our advanced system interprets the content of your webpage and reproduces it for the reporter, eliminating the need for additional installations or setups. While the results are impeccable in most cases, there can be instances where the screenshots might not render perfectly or might omit certain CSS/style details.

Once a screenshot is taken, our servers interpret the content of your page and reproduce it for the reporter. In the majority of cases, the outcomes are flawless. However, there may be scenarios where screenshots are not accurately rendered or missing out on certain CSS/style information. For example, your website may be behind a firewall, it may require basic authentication, or your static resources could be protected.

For precise rendering of your screens, our rendering engine requires access to your site's static resources, including images and stylesheets. For your convenience, we've provided a list of useful tips below.

If your website is protected with basic authentication (like .htaccess), our servers might not access your site's resources. By providing the necessary credentials, our servers can access these protected assets, ensuring accurate screenshots.

Once installed, our widget will always use the browser extension capture engine to generate pixel-perfect screenshots. Since screenshots will be generated locally, this will give the best results compared to server-side rendering.
