Bulk Website Screenshot: Full Page, Mobile, PNG/JPEG/PDF

A website screenshot API for bulk URL screenshots: capture full page or viewport shots of many websites in one run (PNG, JPEG or PDF, desktop or mobile) and get a public image URL for each in the dataset. Logins are not supported.

• Full page or viewport. PNG, JPEG (with quality) or PDF. PDFs are sized to the screenshot viewport so the page does not reflow to a paper width and clip wide content.
• Desktop or mobile. Any desktop width/height and pixel ratio (retina), or emulate iPhone 15, Pixel 7 or iPad Pro 11. Dark mode too.
• Capture just one element, e.g. #pricing, a chart or a hero section.
• Clean shots. Hide cookie banners and any selectors (chat widgets, popups). Scroll first to load lazy images. Wait for load, network idle, a selector or a fixed delay.
• Batch-friendly and cheap. One shared browser for all URLs, low memory, a fixed price per screenshot with platform usage included.
• Polite. Respects robots.txt, rate-limits per host, never bypasses logins or captchas.

Use cases

• Visual monitoring and archiving of landing pages, competitors or your own sites (schedule it).
• Thumbnails and previews for directories, link-in-bio pages or CMSs.
• QA: check how pages render on mobile and desktop, in light and dark mode.
• Evidence snapshots (PDF) of public pages.

Input

Field	Default	What it does
urls	–	Pages to capture.
format	png	png, jpeg or pdf.
fullPage	true	Whole page or just the viewport.
viewportWidth / viewportHeight	1280 / 800	Desktop window size.
device	desktop	iPhone 15, Pixel 7, iPad Pro 11.
deviceScaleFactor, darkMode, jpegQuality	1, false, 80	Image options.
maxFullPageHeight	15000	Very long pages are cut here (truncatedAtHeight).
elementSelector	–	Capture only this element.
waitUntil, delay, waitForSelector	load, 0, –	When to capture. Puppeteer-style networkidle0/2 are accepted too.
scrollToBottom, delayAfterScrolling, waitUntilNetworkIdleAfterScroll, waitUntilNetworkIdleAfterScrollTimeout	false, 2500, false, 30000	Lazy-loading support.
selectorsToHide, hideCookieBanners	–, true	Hide elements (nothing is clicked or accepted).
pdfFormat, pdfPrintBackground	A4, true	pdfPrintBackground is honoured. pdfFormat is kept for compatibility; the PDF page is sized to the rendered viewport so layout matches the screenshot.

proxy	off	Optional datacenter proxy.

Failed or blocked URLs have screenshotUrl: null and an error. The files are in the run's key-value store, and RUN_SUMMARY holds the counts.

Pricing

Pay per event, with Apify platform usage included.

Event	Price	When
Screenshot	$0.60 per 1,000	Each screenshot or PDF saved
Run start	$0.003 per run	Once per run (covers browser start-up)

Failed pages, robots.txt-blocked pages and HTTP errors are not charged. Platform usage is included in the event price. Example: 1,000 URLs in one run ≈ $0.60; a single URL ≈ $0.0036. For comparison, cheapapi/website-screenshot-api starts at $0.61 per 1,000 plus platform usage (checked 12 Nov 2026).

FAQ

Why did a site return an error instead of a screenshot? Some sites block automated browsers (HTTP 403) or disallow it in robots.txt. The Actor reports that and doesn't try to get around it. You're not charged.

Why is my screenshot cut off? Pages taller than maxFullPageHeight (15,000 px by default) are cut. Raise the limit or capture a single element.

Images are missing at the bottom of the page. Turn on scrollToBottom so lazy-loaded images render first.

How do I get retina-quality images? Set deviceScaleFactor to 2, or pick a mobile device (they use 2.6–3×).

Can it screenshot pages behind a login? No. Cookies and logins aren't supported, by design.
