Website Screenshot & PDF API: Full Page, Mobile and Bulk

Capture any public web page as a PNG or JPEG screenshot, full page or visible screen only, or save it as a print-ready PDF. Pages are opened in a real Chromium browser, so modern JavaScript sites render as visitors see them. Each file is stored with the run and returned with a direct download link, page title, final URL, HTTP status, image size and file size.

What can this screenshot tool do?

• Capture in bulk: many URLs per run, two at a time by default.
• Full page or viewport, in PNG, JPEG or PDF (A4, Letter, Legal, A3, Tabloid, portrait or landscape).
• Device sizes: Desktop 1920x1080, Laptop 1366x768, Tablet 768x1024, Mobile 390x844 (tablet and mobile load the mobile layout), or any custom width and height.
• Capture one element with a CSS selector such as #pricing.
• Clean captures: hide common cookie banners with CSS (nothing is clicked or accepted), add custom CSS to hide chat widgets, scroll first so lazy images load.
• Control timing: wait for network idle, load or HTML ready, plus an extra delay.
• Skip error pages (HTTP errors and bot-check screens) so you do not pay for them.

What data do you get?

Use it via API, Make, Zapier, n8n or an AI agent

Apify API. Start a run and get the results back in one HTTP request (replace YOUR_API_TOKEN with the token from Apify Console > Settings > Integrations):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/plotpointtech~website-screenshot-pdf-generator/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"startUrls": [{"url": "https://apify.com"}, {"url": "https://www.wikipedia.org"}], "format": "png", "fullPage": true, "device": "mobile", "hideCookieBanners": true}'

For longer jobs, start the run asynchronously and read the dataset when it finishes. Official apify-client libraries exist for Python and JavaScript; the API tab on this page has ready-made code.

No-code automation. Connect the tool to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable or any webhook with Apify integrations, and use Schedules in Apify Console to run it hourly, daily or weekly.

AI agents (MCP). Give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP-compatible agent direct access to this tool through the hosted Apify MCP server. Add this server URL to your client:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=plotpointtech/website-screenshot-pdf-generator

The agent can then call the tool with the same input fields shown above and read the results.

FAQ

Is it legal to take screenshots of websites? Capturing public pages for archiving, QA, monitoring or research is common practice. The tool does not log in or bypass bot protection or paywalls. Respect each website's terms of use and copyright when you use or publish captures.

How long are files kept? According to your Apify storage retention settings. Download anything you need to keep long term.

Why is a long page cut off? Full-page captures stop at the maximum height (default 10,000 px) to keep files manageable. Raise it if you need more.

Will cookie banners always be hidden? Most common ones are. Unusual consent screens may still appear; use Custom CSS to hide anything left.

Can I call it from my app or an AI agent? Yes. Use the API or the MCP server below and read the returned fileUrl.
