Website Screenshot — Full-Page PNG & JPEG Capture

Capture pixel-perfect screenshots of any web page — at scale, with zero setup. Give this actor a list of URLs and get back one screenshot per URL, stored with a public image URL you can drop into a report, an email, a dashboard or an API response. Full-page or viewport, PNG or JPEG, custom size. No headless browser to run, no infrastructure to babysit.

A fast, reliable screenshot API for anyone who needs images of web pages on demand.

Who uses this

• 🖼️ Link previews & thumbnails — generate preview images for shared URLs.
• 📊 Monitoring & QA — visually snapshot pages, competitors or deployments over time.
• 📰 Archiving & compliance — keep dated visual records of web pages.
• 🧑‍💻 Developers & no-coders — a screenshot API you call by URL, no Puppeteer to host.
• 📈 Marketers & agencies — capture landing pages, ads and SERPs for decks and audits.

Features

• 🖥️ Full-page or viewport-only capture
• 🎨 PNG (lossless) or JPEG (smaller, with quality control)
• 📐 Custom viewport size (width × height)
• ⏱️ Control when to capture: load, domcontentloaded, networkidle, or commit
• 💤 Optional extra delay for late-loading animations
• 🛟 Robust — per-URL errors are reported, never fatal to the run

FAQ

Full-page or just the visible area? Both — set fullPage to true for the whole scrollable page or false for the viewport.

PNG or JPEG? Both — PNG is lossless; JPEG is smaller with adjustable quality.

Where is the image stored? In the run's key-value store, returned as a public screenshotUrl you can link directly.

Can I capture many pages at once? Yes — pass a list of URLs; each row carries its own image and metadata.

What if a page fails to load? That single URL is reported with an error; the rest of the batch still completes.

What does it cost? Pay-per-screenshot — you're only charged for successful captures.

Tip: schedule this on your key pages to build a visual history, or wire the screenshotUrl straight into your app's link previews.
