Website Screenshot & URL to PDF: Full-Page Screenshots and HTML to PDF in Headless Chrome

Render web pages or your own HTML in real headless Chrome and get:

• Screenshots: full page or viewport, PNG, JPEG or WebP, on desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile (retina) viewports.
• PDFs: A4, Letter, Legal and more, with portrait or landscape, margins and backgrounds.

Each file is stored in the run's key-value store with a shareable link in the results table.

What you can use it for

• HTML to PDF for invoices, reports and certificates: send your own HTML and get print-ready PDFs back through the API.
• Visual monitoring and archiving: capture competitor pages, landing pages or legal pages on a schedule.
• Social and SEO previews: mobile and desktop screenshots for audits and reports.
• QA: check how pages look on mobile vs. desktop after a deploy.

How to use it

1. Add page URLs under URLs, or paste your own HTML under HTML documents.
2. Choose screenshot, PDF or both, plus device and format.
3. Click Start.
4. Every result row has a shareable screenshotUrl / pdfUrl.

Features

• Chrome with system fonts for Hebrew, Arabic, CJK and emoji, so right-to-left and non-Latin pages render correctly.
• Hides common cookie banners (OneTrust, Cookiebot, Usercentrics and others) before capturing.
• Wait strategies (network idle or load) plus an optional extra delay for animations and lazy-loaded content.
• Safe by default: every request the page makes is checked, and private or internal addresses are blocked, even from inside your own HTML.

Input

{
  "urls": ["https://example.com"],
  "htmlDocuments": [{"name": "invoice-42", "html": "<h1>Invoice 42</h1><p>Total: $10</p>"}],

Output (one item per URL or HTML document)

{
  "url": "https://example.com/", "status": 200, "title": "Example Domain",
  "screenshotUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/<id>/records/example.com-b559c7edd3fb-mobile.png", "screenshotBytes": 257820,

Notes

• Pages behind logins and bot walls are not supported.
• Very long pages are captured in full. Expect large PNGs; use JPEG or WebP for smaller files.

FAQ

Can I convert my own HTML to PDF? Yes. Send HTML in htmlDocuments (e.g. an invoice template you rendered) and get a print-ready PDF back through the API.

Can it take mobile screenshots? Yes. Pick a mobile or tablet device; screenshots use a retina viewport.

Can AI agents use it? Yes. It is available as a tool through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com?tools=manageable_gully/url-to-pdf-screenshot) and the Apify API, and it returns structured JSON that agents can read directly.
