In one respect, this is a meaningless question.

Web sites don't have fixed width/height, etc. (as originally designed,
how a page displayed was left to the browser -- HTML only identified "what"
an entity was: paragraph, header, link, image, etc.).

Longer answer: you write a "browser" which renders the page as an image
in memory, then save the rendered image. Or you automate a browser and
somehow activate a screen/window grab operation to save the image in a
clipboard that can then be pasted elsewhere.

Are you planning to grab only the top of a page (if the page is longer
than most screens: http://home.earthlink.net/~baron.wulfraed/unicorn.htm
won't fit on a screen, even with the browser set to maximized -- and I run
high resolution screens, 1200 pixels tall, not the common 1080 height of
16:9 HDTV resolution. If you want the full page, not truncated, you'll have
to dynamically resize the drawing region that you render the page into.
