Would you like to share are the actually needs of this service? Personally I never use this feature of Chrome (save page as pdf) but would like to hear the use cases.

I am looking for all kind of constructive discussion not someone answering with very negative attitude and shallow opinion
How do you measure somebody's opinion? Do you have a special "opinion ruler"? I want it too.
I am talking about your atitude not about your openion and general common sense is the rule

I have tested some of the online tools and the results was not consistent many websites are not well rendered and most of them don't do images too, and none of them automate this task, my question was about if there a potential market for it, I see your answer very simplistic
First of all, who would need the automation of this task, and, secondly, as far as I know there is no reliable way to make screenshots from web site, especially if you are going to automate it. Simple extension of Chrome can do it, and many other tools too, BUT all of them "simulate" taking screenshots, that is rendering on their own, not doing actual screenshots.
Chrome's puppeteer is actually doing great at capturing screenshots. it's the actually Chrome itself but headless that's why the results are always correct.
Yes, right, that what I was talking about. But it's not a real screenshot - it's just copy that is very close to the original. You actually can do screenshot just capturing the current state of the screen, and I believe there are some tools doing it. I just don't know who really needs it, especially automated.
"who would need the automation of this task" I don't know why you assume things? the same thing was said for many services that exist now and no one thought they make sense at all before, Twitter is one example, and I know many businesses need regular screenshots, any way you seem very inexperienced and the way you talk is more annoying than helpful, thanks
