That's true. If you want to do it manually, that's a very good tip. In my case I had to prepare a couple of hundred screenshots, so I needed a tool to automate this task. And with puppeteer it was surprisingly simple.

Sure, puppeteer is great to automate routine tasks. I used it for web crawling and pdf generation and had a smooth experience.
