No clutter

Capture clean screenshots

Automatically strip cookie banners, chat widgets, ads, and other annoyances from every screenshot.

  • Hide cookie banners

    Hide cookie banners before capture, no custom scripting needed.

  • Hide chat widgets

    Hide chat widgets and similar overlays so they don't block the page content.

  • Block ads

    Block ads from major networks so they never show up in your screenshots.

Any device, any size

Capture screenshots of any size

Emulate devices or customize the viewport. Capture full pages, specific selectors, or a page area. Everything is pixel-perfect with no extra coding.

  • Emulate any device or screen size

    Capture how a site looks on a specific device or specify the screen size manually.

  • Get the exact dimensions you need

    Want to capture a page at 1920x1080px, then place it on a 100x100px canvas with vertical centering? Just pass 3 simple parameters to our website screenshot API.

  • Capture full page screenshots

    We scroll the page and trigger lazy loaded images, scripts, and other resources so the screenshot matches what a real visitor sees.

    Hide elements that match CSS selectors or click any element before taking a screenshot.

  • Access the page from any location

    Access the page from any location to make sure the page looks exactly as a real visitor in that region would see it.

  • Inject custom CSS and JavaScript

    Pass your own JS or CSS to tweak the page to your needs before taking the screenshot.

Single HTTP request

Focus on your product

Why use a screenshot API like Screenshot Scout over DIY browser automation?

Avoid screenshot infrastructure and development costs so you can focus on your core business.

Solve edge cases

Creating basic website screenshot functionality is easy. Making sure it works on all pages is hard. We take care of all this for you and make sure you encounter as few edge cases as possible.

Avoid infrastructure cost

Running a headless browser for capturing screenshots is a CPU-intensive task and will require a dedicated server, sometimes multiple servers. Our screenshot API handles all of this so you don't have to.

Avoid development costs

We have a dedicated software engineer team that works on our website screenshot service day to day so that you can focus on your core business. Encountered an edge case and want it fixed? Need a new feature added? We are here for you.
