Yes. Include a <link> tag for Google Fonts or a @font-face declaration in your HTML. The renderer waits for external resources to load before capturing, so your fonts render exactly as they do in a browser.
Yes. External <img> tags and CSS background-image: url() references are resolved and rendered. Images must be publicly accessible — private URLs behind auth won't load. For private assets, embed them as Base64 data URIs in the HTML before sending.
The request body limit is 1 MB, which is large enough for any reasonable HTML template. If you have large inline assets (images, SVGs), convert them to external URLs or reduce their size before inlining as Base64.
