Puppeteer Screenshot with Web Fonts Loaded Correctly

Wait for used web fonts and their layout work with document.fonts.ready before calling Puppeteer’s screenshot method.
Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Wait for document.fonts.ready in the page before calling page.screenshot(). Navigation readiness and font readiness are separate: a page can meet a navigation condition while fonts used by its content are still loading or triggering layout changes.

Wait for used web fonts before capturing

Here is a complete ES module example. Replace the example URL with the page you want to capture.

import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';

const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
try {
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://example.com', { waitUntil: 'networkidle2' });

  await page.evaluate(async () => {
    await document.fonts.ready;
  });

  await page.screenshot({ path: 'page.png', fullPage: true });
} finally {
  await browser.close();
}

The example follows the sequence in Puppeteer’s screenshot guide and uses the browser font-set API documented by MDN. It is an API example, not a claim about a test run. Choose a navigation condition that fits the site; networkidle2 is one option shown in Puppeteer’s guide.

What document.fonts.ready does—and does not—wait for

document.fonts exposes the document’s FontFaceSet. Its ready promise resolves when loading of fonts used by the document and the resulting layout operations are complete, with no further font loads needed at that point.

That is not a promise that every font declared in CSS has downloaded. Unused faces may remain unloaded, and a face that did not load in time under font-display: optional may not be used. If a specific typeface or glyph matters to the output, inspect the page’s font loading and CSS rather than treating the promise as a check that all declarations succeeded.

Choose the screenshot area and output

These capture options change what the image contains; they do not replace the font wait. Puppeteer documents the following choices in its ScreenshotOptions reference:

  • fullPage: true captures the complete page rather than only the current viewport.
  • clip captures a specified rectangle.
  • path saves the image. Puppeteer can infer the screenshot type from the file extension.
  • omitBackground: true omits the background for a transparent result.

To capture a particular element, Puppeteer also documents ElementHandle.screenshot(). It scrolls the element into view if needed, then uses page screenshot capture; see the ElementHandle screenshot reference.

Handle pages that update after navigation

Some applications add content or change typography after the initial navigation through later application activity. In that case, wait for the application-specific content or state you need first, then await document.fonts.ready, and capture. There is no single universal condition for arbitrary application updates: use a selector or other condition that represents the content your own page must finish rendering.

Why networkidle2 alone may not be enough

A navigation condition such as networkidle2 concerns the navigation lifecycle. document.fonts.ready concerns fonts used by the document and their associated layout work. Because they describe different conditions, satisfying the former does not stand in for explicitly waiting on the latter when web fonts matter to the screenshot.

Do not use the PDF font option for screenshots

Puppeteer’s PDFOptions reference documents waitForFonts, which defaults to true and waits for document.fonts.ready. The ScreenshotOptions reference does not list a waitForFonts setting. For screenshots, wait explicitly in page context as shown above.

The PDF documentation also notes that waiting for fonts may require bringing a background page to the front. That note is documented for PDF generation; it should not be assumed to be a screenshot-specific requirement.

Troubleshooting font-related screenshot problems

  • The capture uses a fallback font: Confirm the relevant face is actually used by the page and check its CSS and loading behavior. Await document.fonts.ready after the page reaches the state you intend to capture.
  • The page is still changing after the font wait: If application code updates content or typography later, wait for that application-specific update before awaiting the font set and taking the screenshot.
  • You expected every declared font file to load: The promise covers fonts used by the document, not every declared face. Unused fonts and faces not loaded in time under font-display: optional are not guaranteed to download.
  • You set waitForFonts in screenshot options: That option is documented for PDF output, not screenshot options. Await document.fonts.ready through page.evaluate() instead.
  • You expected a viewport image but got the whole page: Remove fullPage: true or use clip to define the desired rectangle.
