Website Screenshot Pro 📸 — full-page screenshots that actually work

Capture pixel-perfect screenshots of any website — full page or viewport, desktop or mobile, light or dark mode — and get back clean image files plus a structured dataset with download URLs.

Built for reliability: automatic cookie-banner removal, lazy-load scrolling, animation freezing, and a smart fallback when pages never finish loading.

Why this Actor?

• ✅ Full-page screenshots that actually work — auto-scrolls first so lazy-loaded images render instead of showing up as blank gaps
• 🍪 Cookie banners removed automatically — covers OneTrust, Cookiebot, Didomi, Usercentrics, Quantcast, Osano, HubSpot, and more
• 📱 Real device presets — iPhone 15, iPhone SE, Pixel 7, iPad, Galaxy S23, or any custom desktop viewport up to 4K
• 🌙 Dark mode rendering — capture how your site looks with prefers-color-scheme: dark
• 🖼️ PNG, JPEG, or WebP output with quality control
• 🎯 Wait controls — wait for a CSS selector, add a fixed delay, or tune the navigation timeout
• 🧹 Hide anything — pass extra CSS selectors to remove sticky headers, chat widgets, or popups
• 💰 Pay only for successful screenshots — failed pages are never charged

How to screenshot a website

1. Paste one or more URLs.
2. Pick full page or viewport, a device preset or custom viewport, and the image format.
3. Click Start. Images land in the key-value store with direct download links in the dataset.

One URL or ten thousand — same three steps.

Input example

{
    "urls": [{ "url": "https://apify.com" }],
    "fullPage": true,
    "format": "png",
    "device": "desktop",
    "viewportWidth": 1920,
    "hideCookieBanners": true,
    "darkMode": false
}

Output

Screenshots are saved to the run's key-value store. The dataset contains one record per URL with a direct download link:

{
    "url": "https://apify.com",
    "screenshotUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/.../records/screenshot_001_apify.com.png",
    "format": "png",
    "fullPage": true,
    "device": "desktop",
    "bytes": 245133,
    "status": "SUCCEEDED"
}

Failed URLs get "status": "FAILED" with an error message — and are not charged.

Pricing

$2.00 per 1,000 screenshots captured, plus a few cents of platform usage. Failed pages are never charged. No subscriptions, no minimums — perfect for both one-off batches and scheduled monitoring.

Use cases

• AI agents & LLM apps — give your agent eyes; capture pages for visual analysis or archiving
• Monitoring — schedule daily screenshots of your site, competitors, or price pages
• Link previews & social cards — generate preview images for URLs at scale
• Archiving & compliance — keep visual records of pages at a point in time
• QA & design review — check how pages render on mobile devices and in dark mode

Using via API

Like every Apify Actor, you can run it via REST API, the Apify JavaScript/Python clients, CLI, or on a schedule. Integrate with Make, Zapier, n8n, LangChain, and more.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/originalvi~website-screenshot-pro/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "urls": [{ "url": "https://example.com" }] }'

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("originalvi/website-screenshot-pro").call(run_input={
    "urls": [{"url": "https://example.com"}, {"url": "https://news.ycombinator.com"}],
    "fullPage": True,
    "device": "iphone15",
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["url"], "→", item["screenshotUrl"])

FAQ

Does it work on sites that block bots? Most sites render fine. For strict ones, enable Apify Proxy (residential) in the input.

How do I screenshot pages behind a login? Not supported in this version — reach out via the Issues tab if you need it and I'll prioritize it.

A page renders incompletely — what should I try? Add a waitForSelector for the main content element, or set delayMs to 2000–5000. For full-page shots keep scrollToBottom enabled.

Can I capture a specific element only? Pass CSS selectors in hideSelectors to strip everything else, or open an issue — element-clipping is on the roadmap.

What's the maximum page size? Full-page captures handle very long pages (tens of thousands of pixels). Extremely long pages are capped by Chromium's internal limits; the Actor falls back to the maximum capturable height.

How fast is it? A typical page takes 3–8 seconds including navigation. Batches run URLs sequentially within one run; start several runs in parallel for large jobs.
