 For web extraction, we use [Trafilatura](https://trafilatura.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html) which consistently outperforms other alternatives for extracting content from HTML pages. For PDFs, we use [PyMuPDF4LLM](https://pymupdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pymupdf4llm/) which similarly extracts content in an easy-to-read format for LLMs, with advanced layout support.
 
+### Screenshots

+Rendered page previews are powered by [Zendriver](https://github.com/stephanlensky/zendriver). The `view_website` tool navigates to a URL in a headless Chromium session and returns the resulting page as a PNG screenshot. By default only the current viewport is captured, but callers can request a full-page image by setting the `full_page` argument to `true`.

 ## Contributing
 
 While it's impossible to support all pages and layouts, we thrive to make this package better over time. For unsupported sites, problems, or feature requests open an issue.
