I looked for it on internet, believing many projects should greatly deal with this problem (I don’t like to develop something if it already exist).

On the web

When I surfed on the net, I discovered the site browsershots.org . This site makes screenshots of your web design in different browsers. It is a free open-source online service. With a subscription you can get a priority processing and so you can reduce the waiting delay (30 min without sunscription).

Borwsershots.org do this on 3 OS (Windows, Linux, Mac) and propose a large choice of browsers. I especially like the old browsers versions and the possibility to download all screenshots in 1 zipped file.
