Does it let you take a screenshot of the whole height of the page? I see that you can specify the height of the viewport, but what if I want a whole long screenshot of as much height is rendered?

Yes it does. See this example of the nytimes: http://url2picture.com/Picture/Png/?apikey=6101EE5C99B145ECB... Of course there are limits to this as some websites have "endless" scrolling (like pintrest)

How does it handle responsive websites?

I'll chime in and say that the company I work for was ready to pay 1200$ for a piece of software that we hoped would do this reliably. There are cheaper or even free alternatives out there, but they all had different problems. If this site is reliable and flexible, it is answering a real need in the market.

Does it render in webkit?

You can specify the viewport size. For example the smashing magazine using 1024x768 viewport: http://www.url2picture.com/Picture/Png/?apikey=6101EE5C99B14...

And using 400x400 viewport: http://www.url2picture.com/Picture/Png/?apikey=6101EE5C99B14...

Yes it uses webkit, and regarding reliability... It currently runs smoothly despite the hacker news traffic increase ;-)
