Website Screenshot & PDF

Website Screenshot & PDF captures full-page screenshots (PNG or JPEG) or PDF snapshots of one or many web pages in a single run — at any viewport or device size, with automatic cookie-banner hiding — and saves each file with a direct link in a clean results table.

What can the Website Screenshot actor do?

• Take a full-page screenshot of any website — the entire scrollable page, not just the visible part.
• Screenshot many URLs at once — pass a whole list and get one file plus one result row per page.
• Save a web page as a PDF — a print-ready PDF snapshot with backgrounds.
• Capture at any device size — set the viewport width and height for desktop, tablet, or mobile.
• Get crisp retina images — a 2× or 3× scale factor for high-DPI screenshots.
• Hide cookie and consent banners — common pop-ups are hidden automatically before the shot, and you can add your own selectors.
• Wait for the page to settle — choose the load strategy and add an extra delay for late-loading content.
• Capture in dark mode — render a site's dark theme if it has one.

Use cases

• Monitor how a page looks over time — run on a schedule and keep a visual history.
• Archive web pages as PDFs for records or compliance.
• Generate preview thumbnails of URLs for a directory, dashboard, or link list.
• QA and design review — capture the same page across several viewport sizes.
• Feed screenshots into other tools — each capture is stored with a direct link you can pass downstream.

Input

{
  "urls": ["https://example.com", "https://apify.com"],
  "format": "png",
  "fullPage": true,
  "width": 1280,
  "height": 800,
  "deviceScaleFactor": 2,
  "hideCookieBanners": true,
  "waitUntil": "networkidle"
}

For a PDF, set "format": "pdf". For JPEG, set "format": "jpeg" and optionally "quality": 80.

Output

Each page produces one file (in the run's key-value store) and one dataset row:

Field	Example
url	https://example.com
http_status	200
format	png
bytes	10893
file	direct link to the image or PDF

If a page fails to load, its row records the error instead — the run keeps going and captures the rest, so one bad URL never returns a blank result.

Notes

• Viewport dimensions are clamped to sane limits; screenshots and PDFs run in headless Chromium.
• fullPage applies to image formats; PDFs always paginate the whole document.
• The actor captures only the URLs you give it and stores no personal data.
