Screenshotbase
REST API that captures website screenshots as PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, PDF or markdown from a
Screenshotbase is a REST API that renders a URL in a headless browser and returns the result as a PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF image, a PDF, or markdown. It handles cases that complicate self-hosted capture, such as full-page versus viewport rendering, custom viewports, high-DPI output, hiding elements by CSS selector, injecting custom CSS, blocking cookie banners and ads, waiting for async content, and loading pages from a chosen country.
The PDF module accepts a URL or your own HTML and returns a PDF with configurable paper size, orientation, margins, media type, scale and page ranges, or a single long page. An MCP server lets AI agents create PDFs through a take tool. SDKs cover major languages, and no-code integrations include Make and Zapier. The API is self-service, and a fully managed project option is available for teams that want the vendor to handle integration and operations.
It is aimed at developers and teams that need screenshots or PDFs in their applications. Packaging includes a free plan with 300 requests per month, paid plans with higher request volumes, rate limits and API keys, and a custom plan for higher volumes or managed service. A sandbox key returns a placeholder PDF without rendering, at no cost.
