Website Screenshot and PDF

Take screenshots of websites in bulk with headless Chrome (Playwright). Capture the visible viewport or the full scrollable page as PNG or JPEG, on a desktop or mobile profile, and optionally save a PDF of each page. Hide cookie banners and chat widgets with CSS selectors, add a delay for animations, or scroll first to load lazy images. Every file goes to an Apify key-value store and the dataset lists a public link, page title, HTTP status and final URL.

At a glance: $0.80 per 1,000 screenshots, plus $0.00005 per run start. Pay per result with no subscription, set a maximum cost per run, export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or call it from the Apify API, Make, Zapier or n8n.

robots.txt is respected (RFC 9309). Failed pages are not charged.

Use cases

• Visual monitoring: capture your pages daily and compare them.
• Archive landing pages, pricing pages or campaigns for records.
• Thumbnails and previews for link directories and dashboards.
• QA: check desktop and mobile layouts across many URLs in one run.
• Save pages as PDF for reports or offline reading.
• Feed screenshots to vision models for page analysis.

Input

{
  "urls": [{"url": "https://example.com"}, {"url": "https://www.python.org/"}],
  "device": "desktop",

  "savePdf": false
}

Output example

Real output from a test run (links are signed Apify storage URLs that open without a token):

{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "finalUrl": "https://example.com/",
  "statusCode": 200,
  "title": "Example Domain",
  "screenshotUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/<storeId>/records/example-com-71054856.png?signature=...",
  "pdfUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/<storeId>/records/example-com-71054856.pdf?signature=...",
  "key": "example-com-71054856.png",
  "format": "png",
  "fullPage": false,
  "device": "desktop",
  "viewport": "1280x800",
  "sizeBytes": 72228,
  "loadSecs": 1.2,
  "capturedAt": "2026-10-28T03:25:44.129252+00:00"
}

Pricing

Pay per screenshot: $0.80 per 1,000 screenshots ($0.0008 each), plus the standard Apify run start event of $0.00005 per run. The optional PDF is included. Failed or blocked pages are free. Set Maximum cost per run and the Actor stops cleanly at that amount.

Limits

• No login, no CAPTCHA solving and no proxy rotation. Sites that block automated browsers will fail (and are not charged).
• Redirects inside the browser are checked against robots.txt at the final URL.
• Full-page captures of extremely long pages are capped by Chrome's maximum image size.

Memory

The Actor needs at least 512 MB of memory; the default is 1024 MB. Python, the browser driver and Chromium together use about 250-300 MB, so runs at 256 MB crash with "Page crashed". At 512 MB it captures 1 page at a time, at 1024 MB 2 at a time, and one more page per extra 384 MB (up to Max concurrency). Very heavy pages or long full-page captures may need 1024 MB or more.

Is this legal?

The Actor only loads public pages you list, identifies itself in its user agent and obeys robots.txt. Screenshots can contain copyrighted material and personal data shown on a page: use them only where you have the right to, and follow each site's terms.
