Hi,

You can use the take screenshot puzzle for that (also need to enable screenshots with configure app puzzle). It only generates the image though. To be able to download it, you can use the following JavaScript snippet
```
    app.ExternalInterface.downloadScreenshot = function(image) {
        var link = document.createElement('a');
        link.setAttribute('download', 'myImage.png');
        link.setAttribute('href', image);
        link.click();
    }
```
and call it from Puzzles as described here.

Attached an example project.

Update:

make it
```
    app.ExternalInterface.downloadScreenshot = function(image) {
        var link = document.createElement('a');
        document.body.appendChild(link);
        link.setAttribute('download', 'myImage.png');
        link.setAttribute('href', image);
        link.click();
    }
```
to work on Firefox.

Now i see that, another question…

Is there any possibility to change the background automatically or make it transparent when you save the pic?

Thks again ^^

Try the transparent background option in the same puzzle: https://www.soft8soft.com/docs/manual/en/puzzles/Initialization.html#configure_application

As i have a sphere background, i solve it like this (look attached file)

Is there any cleaner form to do it?

Because here, i depend of cpu speed, i suppose isn’t it?

Yep, you can use 0 second time to make it lapse only 1 rendering frame.

What does it produce? non-transparent background?

Correct!

It seems that with “0” value, there’s no time to grab the transparent backgroud.

you can try another approach – using the every frame puzzle with a counter to wait for 1 or 2 rendering frames.
