Screenshotly provides a REST API and JavaScript SDK to capture high-quality webpage screenshots programmatically. Send a URL, get back a screenshot — as PNG, JPEG, WebP, or PDF.

​
Why Screenshotly

  • Fast rendering — screenshots typically return within 2-3 seconds
  • Multiple formats — PNG, JPEG, WebP, and PDF with custom quality settings
  • Full-page captures — capture entire scrollable pages, not just the viewport
  • Device emulation — simulate mobile devices, tablets, and retina displays
  • Element capture — screenshot a specific CSS selector instead of the full page
  • Dark mode — emulate prefers-color-scheme: dark for dark mode captures
  • Ad and cookie blocking — block ads, cookie banners, and chat widgets automatically
  • Batch processing — capture up to 50 URLs in a single API call
  • Webhook notifications — get notified when screenshots are ready
  • CDN storage — screenshots stored and accessible via CDN links
