Website Screenshot & PDF – Full Page, Mobile, Bulk URLs

Capture pixel-perfect screenshots and PDFs of any number of web pages — full page or viewport, on desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile — with cookie banners hidden and lazy images loaded. Every file gets a shareable link, and every row tells you the page title, HTTP status and page height. Perfect for website monitoring, visual archives, client reports, design QA, SEO audits, compliance evidence and AI vision pipelines.

• 📸 Full-page or viewport screenshots in PNG or JPEG (adjustable quality)
• 📄 PDF export (A4, Letter, Legal, A3, Tabloid; portrait/landscape; print or screen styles)
• 📱 Devices: desktop 1920×1080, laptop 1366×768, tablet (iPad @2x), mobile (iPhone @3x) or any custom size — capture every URL on several devices in one run
• 🍪 Clean captures: hides 50+ cookie-consent popups (OneTrust, Cookiebot, Usercentrics, Didomi, Quantcast, CookieYes, Complianz, Termly, Osano …) via CSS — consent is never clicked — plus any elements you list
• 🖼️ Lazy-loading handled: scrolls the page first so images below the fold appear
• 🎯 Element screenshots: capture just #pricing, a chart or a hero section with a CSS selector
• 🌙 Dark mode emulation, configurable delay and load event
• 🔗 Shareable links for every file; optional named store to keep files long-term
• 💸 $2 per 1,000 captures — failed pages (404, DNS, timeouts) are free

Pricing

Pay-per-event — you pay only for files actually produced:

Event	Price
Captured screenshot	$0.002 ($2 per 1,000)
Generated PDF	$0.002 ($2 per 1,000)

Examples: 500 URLs × desktop + mobile screenshots = 1,000 captures = $2. A daily screenshot of 20 competitor homepages ≈ $1.20 / month.

Similar screenshot Actors in the Apify Store charge from about $0.004 to $0.016 per screenshot (October 2026), and PDF export is rarely included. Pages that fail to load are never charged; set Maximum cost per run to cap spending.

Quick start

{
  "urls": ["https://apify.com", "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping"],
  "devices": ["desktop", "mobile"],
  "outputs": ["screenshot", "pdf"],
  "fullPage": true,
  "format": "jpeg"
}

Output

One dataset row per URL × device:

{
  "url": "https://example.com/",
  "device": "desktop",
  "status": "ok",
  "httpStatus": 200,
  "finalUrl": "https://example.com/",
  "title": "Example Domain",
  "pageHeight": 1080,
  "screenshotUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/…/records/example.com-desktop-c54ea8.jpg?signature=…",
  "screenshotKey": "example.com-desktop-c54ea8.jpg",
  "screenshotBytes": 64115,
  "pdfUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/…/records/example.com-desktop-c54ea8.pdf?signature=…",
  "capturedAt": "2026-10-07T05:20:00.000Z"
}

The Captures view shows image previews right in Apify Console. Failed pages produce a row with status: "error" and an errorCode (HTTP_404, DNS_ERROR, TLS_ERROR, TIMEOUT, CONNECTION_ERROR, SELECTOR_NOT_FOUND, INVALID_URL …). Files live in the run's key-value store (or the named store you choose), downloadable individually or via the API.

FAQ

Can it screenshot pages behind a login? No — public pages only.

Does it bypass bot protection or CAPTCHAs? No. Sites that block automated browsers return an error row (not charged).

Why does the top of a page look empty? Some sites reserve space for ads or load content only after interaction. Increase delaySecs, use waitUntil: "networkidle", or hide the area with hideSelectors.

Why are some PDFs large? PDFs embed the page's images at full resolution; image-heavy news pages can produce 20–50 MB files. Turn off pdfPrintBackground or use JPEG screenshots for smaller output.

How long are files kept? Default run storage follows your Apify plan's data retention; use keyValueStoreName to keep files indefinitely.
