You can create additional new <canvas> with thumbnail dimensions and use drawImage() to scale it down on this new <canvas>.

drawImage() can read <canvas> as image source and you may set target width and height.

Based on Mikkos hint the following woked for me

window.html2canvas([$('body')[0]], {
              onrendered: function(canvas) {
                var extra_canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
                extra_canvas.setAttribute('width',70);
                extra_canvas.setAttribute('height',70);
                var ctx = extra_canvas.getContext('2d');
                ctx.drawImage(canvas,0,0,canvas.width, canvas.height,0,0,70,70);
                var dataURL = extra_canvas.toDataURL();
                var img = $(document.createElement('img'));
                img.attr('src', dataURL);
                // insert the thumbnail at the top of the page
                $('body').prepend(img);
              },
            });

This works great for me...

    html2canvas(document.getElementById("divTextOrig"), { allowTaint: true, 
    scrollX:0, scrollY: -window.scrollY}).then(function(canvas)
    {
        document.getElementById("divText1").appendChild(canvas);
        $('canvas').css("width",txtWidth);
        $('canvas').css("height",txtHeight);                    
    });

I have used a similar approach for your problem, partly based on other answers :) Since resizing images is easier if they are actual images, here is my code:

var img = new Image();
img.src = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
img.width = 500;
document.getElementsByClassName('modal-body')[0].appendChild(img);

canvasis the output of the html2canvas function; then I create an img setting its source with the img data (the base64 encoding of the canvas). the rest is standard good-old-javascript: set the img width, append to the div element ...

I am using html2canvas in an effort to get a screenshot of a webpage and render it as a thumbnail (well, 400x300, not exactly a thumbnail).

Based on the Screenshot console code, everything works great with the exception of the thumbnail part.

How can I set the image size to 400x300? In firebug I locate the attribute as: <canvas style="width: 973px; height: 2184px;" width="973" height="2184"></canvas>. However, I cannot figure out in my code(below) or in the html2canvas.js where to hardcode the 400x300 parameters.
