# What is Puppeteer?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Puppeteer is a Node.js library which provides a high-level API to control
|
||
|
|
Chrome/Chromium over the
|
||
|
|
[DevTools Protocol](https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/).
|
||
|
|
Puppeteer runs in
|
||
|
|
[headless](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/chromium/new-headless/)
|
||
|
|
mode by default, but can be configured to run in full ("headful")
|
||
|
|
Chrome/Chromium.
|
||

browser features.
|
||
|
|
- Capture a

|
||
|
|
of your site to help diagnose performance issues.

|
||
|
|
- Generate screenshots and PDFs of pages.
|
