Bulk Website Screenshot Tool

Take screenshots of multiple websites in bulk with full-page or viewport capture options. This actor uses Puppeteer to render pages in a real Chrome browser, producing high-quality screenshots in PNG or JPEG format.

Features

• Bulk screenshot capture for multiple URLs in a single run
• Full-page or viewport-only screenshot modes
• Configurable viewport width for responsive design testing
• PNG and JPEG format support with optimized quality
• Screenshots saved to Apify key-value store with public URLs
• Structured dataset output with metadata for each capture

Use Cases

Website screenshots are invaluable for visual regression testing, competitor monitoring, web archival, and compliance documentation. QA teams use bulk screenshots to verify UI consistency across pages, while marketing teams capture competitor websites for analysis. Legal teams use web archival screenshots as evidence, and agencies use them for client reporting and portfolio documentation.

Input Configuration

Parameter	Type	Description
urls	Array	List of website URLs to screenshot
fullPage	Boolean	Capture entire scrollable page (default: true)
format	String	Image format - png or jpeg (default: png)
width	Integer	Browser viewport width in pixels (default: 1280)

Output Format

Each result includes:

• url - The captured website URL
• screenshotUrl - Direct link to the screenshot image in the key-value store
• title - Page title extracted from the HTML
• format - Image format used (png/jpeg)
• fullPage - Whether full-page capture was used
• width - Viewport width used
• fileSize - Screenshot file size in bytes
• timestamp - ISO timestamp of when the screenshot was captured

Storage

Screenshots are stored in the Apify key-value store with public URLs. The dataset contains metadata with links to each screenshot. Both can be accessed via the Apify API for integration into your workflows.

Limitations

Dynamic content like animations or lazy-loaded images may not be fully captured. The actor waits for network idle before capturing, but some JavaScript-heavy sites may need additional load time. Very long pages may produce large screenshot files. Consider using JPEG format for smaller file sizes when pixel-perfect quality is not required.

Tips for Best Results

Use a viewport width of 1280px for standard desktop captures, 768px for tablet, or 375px for mobile. Full-page mode captures the entire scrollable content, which is ideal for archival. For monitoring changes, schedule regular runs and compare screenshots over time.
