Webpage Screenshot

What it does

Webpage Screenshot captures a live webpage as a PNG image. Send a url, optionally set delay to wait before capture, and choose quality from 1 to 5. You can either get a signed cloud data link back with /link or stream the image directly from /download.

Use Webpage Screenshot when you need a visual record of a page for audits, bug reports, QA checks, social previews, or archived evidence. It is a straightforward way to turn a URL into a screenshot without managing browser automation in your own infrastructure.

The /link endpoint returns a signed upload URL for the PNG screenshot, which is useful when you want to store the image in cloud storage or pass it to another service. The /download endpoint returns the screenshot as binary PNG data and also accepts an output filename. Both endpoints use the same capture inputs, so you can pick the delivery format that fits your workflow.

If you are building monitoring, content review, or page documentation features, this service gives you a simple URL-to-image capture flow with predictable output.
