Convert HTML to Image on Azure

I have tried two HTML to Image conversion packages HiQPd and NReco.

Both libraries work beautifully when run from Visual Studio on my local PC.

When I deploy to an Azure-hosted website, both packages fail thusly:

  1. HiQPdf throws Exceptions when invoking ConvertHtmlToImage(...).
  2. NReco produces a black rectangle for each rendered character.

The HTML I'm converting is simple stuff, like <p>Hello</p>

Is this a problem with Azure, hosting on servers in general, or not including some library which "everybody knows that!"?

Solution

  • Upgrading my Azure service plan to B1 Basic solved my problem. Thank you Vitaliy!
