CLEAN SCREENSHOTS

Capture the page, not the clutter.

Block ads

Filter requests to common ad networks and hide known ad containers with blockAds.

Hide cookie banners

Hide supported consent pop-ups such as OneTrust, Cookiebot and Didomi. No consent button is ever clicked.

Remove chat widgets

Keep Intercom, Crisp, Tawk.to, Tidio, Drift and HubSpot bubbles out of the shot with blockChats.

Cleanup is best effort. Custom overlays and empty ad spaces may remain. Hide anything else with hideSelectors.

CUSTOMIZE EVERY CAPTURE

Exactly the image you need.

Full page or one element

Capture the viewport, the whole scrolling page (lazy images load first), a single element by CSS selector, or an exact region.

Retina and mobile

Render at 2× or 3× pixel density, emulate a touch device, or switch to landscape. Any width from 320 to 2,560 px.

Dark mode and custom CSS

Turn on dark mode, hide elements, or add your own CSS before the capture.

Wait for the right moment

Capture at DOM ready, full load or network idle. Or wait for a specific element, such as a chart that loads late.

Render your own HTML

Send markup instead of a URL to create social cards, certificates, invoices or email previews from a template.

Local time and language

Set a time zone and locale to capture region-specific dates, prices and translations.

USE CASES

What you can build with Shots.

Link previews and thumbnails

Show a current image of every site in a directory, bookmarking tool, CMS or portfolio.

Open Graph images

Render an HTML template at 1200×630 for each blog post or product page.

Page archives and PDFs

Save a dated PDF or full-page image of a page for records, audits or client reports.

Visual monitoring

Capture key pages on your own schedule and compare the results to spot broken layouts.

Responsive design reviews

Capture a URL at desktop, tablet and mobile sizes, in light and dark mode, for design sign-off.

AI agents

Connect the Shots MCP server so Claude, Cursor or other MCP clients can look at a web page.

WHY SHOTS

Simple, prepaid and privacy-conscious.

No monthly plan

Buy credits when you need them. One successful capture uses one credit. Failed renders are refunded automatically.

No stored screenshots

Images come straight back in the response. We keep no screenshot files, and URL query strings are not recorded.

Isolated browsers

Every capture runs in a fresh, sandboxed Chromium with private networks blocked. Your API key never goes in a URL.

TRY A REAL CAPTURE

Your URL. Your settings. Your screenshot.

Try options in the playground, then copy the matching code for cURL, JavaScript, Python or C#.
