Browsershots.org is a free tool that takes screenshots of your website in (at last count) 15 different browsers. Simply submit your web address to Browsershot’s job queue and a number of distributed computers configured with different browsers will open your website, take screenshots and then upload them for viewing. The whole process can take up to 30 minutes depending on how busy the Browsershot server is.
